The Great News: This weekend I found out that I passed the FE, The Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. This was a long, strenuous, and tough test that I took earlier in the spring. It was an 8 hour exam from 8 to noon in the morning and 1 to 5 in the afternoon. This test also took place during one of the toughest emotional weeks of my life and coming up to it I thought I was not prepared at all, even though walking out of it I felt very good, I was still nervous about my results. But the results were good and now I can look forward to getting my Professional Engineers License in the future.
The Good Times: This weekend was also a great time to get away from Auburn with a couple of my friends, Carlos and Hanson, and go up to the lake with my family. The lake has been a sort of heaven on earth for me during my lifetime. It has been one of the few places on earth that I have been able to find peace and really relax and enjoy life for a while. This weekend was great to see family and enjoy boating, tubing, drinking, and just relaxing with great family and friends. I could not ask for a greater family to be a part of and am so blessed to have the friends that i have and many thanks for all the birthday wishes.
The New Experiences: This weekend was also filled with a couple of new experiences. The first of which was that this year was the first year EVER that my twin sister, Megan, and I did not celebrate, blow out candles/open presents, our birthday together and it was a weird feeling and I missed her not being there more than she probably knows. Also, this was the first birthday that I did not get to enjoy in the presence of Doc. You know we miss him and you know we love him and I know that all day he was looking down on me and Megan and watching over and praying for us right there beside Uncle Mike and G.G..
Overall is was a good Birthday and 23 years of life has taught me that there will be good times and there will be bad times, tough at times it might feel like the bad outweighs the good.....
