it's been a while!!!!

So yes i have been neglecting my blog......


Well life in the Johnson home has been very busy over the past few months.....

In July brandon did his internship with an accounting firm in Phoenix called CBIZ. He enjoyed it. he really likes the firm and the people that work there. He was able to get lots of great experience.

In August we went on vacation to Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park. We had a great time. We camped for 5 nights and on our way home stopped in Vegas for 1 night to shower and sleep in a real bed. This was one of my most favorite vacations we have been on. There was so much to see and do and we both had a blast! i would highly recommend going there. it is a great family place. here are some pics from our trip....

September Brandon started his masters program. he is now almost half way finished. the program is done in 3 trimesters. He did very well in the 1st. he got 2 A+'s and 1 A. Brandon is amazing i don't know how he does it.


In October he did Interview Week. he interviewed with 4 Accounting firms. he got called back for 2nd interviews with 3 of them. And then was offered 2 jobs. Brandon Accepted a job with PWC(Price Waterhouse Copper)one of the big 4 accounting firms in the country. he will start work with them next fall. (yes they interview a year in advance. crazy) during the summer he is going to study and work on taking the CPA exam.


In November i did my 1st craft fair. it was so much fun. My Aunt Lisa hosted it at her house in Prescott Valley. I did pretty well for my 1st time. I definitely learned a lot. I am getting ready to do another one on Dec. 12th up in Prescott again. here are some pics of the 1st craft fair i did...

And just in case you didn't know.... I am Pregnant again... We are due July 2nd. 1 day before Brandon's birthday. We are very excited. i have had an ultrasound already and i got to see the heart beat. we couln't hear it yet. But last week I got to hear it at my appointment. Brandon and i are very excited and can't wait.

He is getting ready for GRADUATION!!!!!!

President Borak Obama is speaking at ASU's Graduation. I think this is very exciting. How often do you get to hear the President of the United States speak. in person. like NEVER. so My Mom. Brandon's Parents, His little brother and my Grandma will be going with me to watch the graduation. and don't worry i won't wait over a month to blog about it.

Bragging about Brandon!

okay so i feel like i might brag a little too much about Brandon but.... i have too because 1. he won't do it himself. he has some sort of problem talking about himself(a problem everyone knows i don't have! lol) and 2. because he is so awesome!

So on Friday Brandon took the GMAT exam. Brandon took it so he could apply for a scholorship, because the scholorship requires it. the test is scored from 200-800. brandon told me that above 700 and below 300 are uncommon. and Brandon got a 720. he is in the top 5% of anyone who has taken the test. I am so proud of him. He is such a smartie pants but i love it. he is amazing!
I LOVE YOU Brandon! good job honey!
