My husband achieved a goal today and I am so proud of him!  He passed (and not only passed, but rocked!!) his Microsoft Certified Exam 70-536 which is one part of a series of other exams that he passed.  Passing this exam has now given him the titles of Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Certified Professional Developer, and Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist.  I’m not sure exactly what all of those things mean, but apparently it’s a pretty big deal.   I’m so proud of him. 

 He called me at 12:45pm and wanted to meet the children and I out for a celebratory lunch, so we met at Chili’s where we discussed what we could do to further celebrate.  We didn’t really have much of a Thanksgiving because Ella was sick and Jim was studying so hard, so we decided spur of the moment to head to Busch Gardens.  We got there at 3pm, and they closed at 6pm.  We just looked at a few of the animals and then took the trio to see Santa and on a few kiddie rides in Timbuktu and then we left.  It was a perfect ending to a very long, sometimes stressful, few weeks   Here are some pics of our trip today.
