My Signature is getting Longer

I passed my test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who don't know I studied FOREVER to sit for the CISA (Certified Information System Auditor) test in June. They say it takes 6-8 weeks to get your results and after 5 1/2 weeks of waiting I received an email stating:

Dear Mrs. Meredith S. Crawford:
RE: CISA Exam Result Notification -- Exam ID: 08298883
At your request (per your exam registration authorization), this email is being sent to notify you of your June 2008 CISA exam result.
We are pleased to inform you that you successfully PASSED the exam with a total scaled score of...

This is a very hard test consisting of 200 mulitple choice questions where a lot of times all the answers are correct but you have to pick THE BEST one. It is HARD. The questions are weighted so you never know what the questions are worth. I left feeling ok about the test but worried I missed all the high weighted ones and got the ones that were weighted the lowest or the questions were thrown out! I guess not.

Needless to say I was VERY EXCITED when I recieved the email stating I passed. I still have to actually apply for the certification but passing the test is the hardest part. Once I get the actual certification my new signature will be:
Meredith Crawford, CISA

Cut off your butter fingers



Well I'm still getting used to this blogging idea and our lives are pretty much the same thing everyday so not much to type about. I get up , get dress, dress Audrey go to work, come home eat dinner with Scott and Audrey and Scott leaves for work. Audrey and I play (usually outside) then she goes to bed. Pretty boring life : ) Although I've decided after having too much to do that boring is good. Plus Audrey will be 3 in about 2 weeks and that means we are getting so much closer to her being involved in everything. She's definitely into the sports aspects so I see some fields and gyms in our future. Tonight as we played outside we played golf (Laura I might have send her to Jason and Parker for lessons!), baseball, and football.


One cute story for you though:

Tonight as I was putting Audrey's toothpaste on her toothbrush I dropped the toothpaste like 3 times. I said "I've got butter fingers tonight". Audrey said, after looking at me very funny, said cut them mommy (she meant my nails). I said why should I cut them and she said you have bugs in them! To funny how they hear things at this age.


Here's another picture from our vacation. Scott, Saylor (my older brother) and Jay (my younger brother) did this thing together where they lift you up in the air and then release you and you fly through the air. We thought they were going to do it individually but when they got there they said they could do it all together. They all loved it but you can't really tell from this picture!

There is also one of Audrey waiting on the fireworks to start- when they did she hated them and we had to leave.

Back From Vacation




We just got back from a family vacation in Gatlingburg. It was so much fun and we didn't really want to come back or go back to work : (

This is a few pictures we took at the top of the sky lift in Gatlingburg. It was an awesome view.
