I am a licensed tax preparer!!!! 2008-12-21 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=611204 Snow. Yep. It even snowed in Canby Oregon! I love it when it is all white and fresh and clean outside! Ron and I have been outside everyday this week walking in it for exercise. He usually jogs for a while too, but he walks with me at the beginning and end! We have walked in a wicked head wind, snow, rain, sleet, and cold crisp air and I have enjoyed every minute!! Mike is due home today. Rochelle and Zac are due home next Wednesday. All will be driving in this winter weather. Pray that all will be safe and sound! MIKE MADE IT HOME SAFE AND SOUND. THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS I'M SURE THEY HELPED AS HE DROVE THROUGH SOME BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. 2008-12-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=608175 I passed my class and did really well on the class final. This Saturday.... State Tax Board Examination. 5 hours. 200 questions. If I pass I will be a licensed tax preparer. The state of OREGON is the only state in the USA that requires this certification via an intense course and passing of a board examination test. 2008-12-10 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=599568 I have been studying for a pretty intense State Exam that will take place in the middle of December. I am in class a minimum of 6 hours a week and study 1-3 hours per hour in class. Some weeks I study more than others. Anyhow, if I pass, I will be licensed tax preparer. The State of Oregon is the only state in the US that requires tax preparers to pass a test to have a license. In California you have to have a license, but you simply pay for it. I am still working for H & R Block, but if I pass the test...I will make more money!!! Yay! 2008-11-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=583935 Announcement- The Tualatin Valley Church....a church belonging to Christ will be meeting in a new location: 4101 Kruse Way in the West End Building, Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Sunshine Birthdays (Rochelle, Me, to name two) Football 2008-09-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=573877 I was born. WOW. Sounds like a long time ago, but in many ways I feel young. My DH is elk hunting, gone for 10 or 11 days. He took me to Claim Jumper last night- mmmmmm I had pot pie and of course the MOTHERLODE (no, I did not eat all of anything)!!! 2008-09-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=571045 My daughter is 22 today. Her basketball number was 22. 22 is her favorite number. Wow, I have two children in their 20's (I might be getting OLD, naaaahh). 2008-09-04 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=569101 2008-08-29 http://www.pleonast.com/user/mom247365?l=5&entryID=567913 Ron was off.
