If I fell into every craving I have, we would be bankrupt. Seriously.

Christian passed his test! Cue the Hallelujah Chorus. (For the record, I knew he would pass.) He is now a licensed psychologist. Woo hoo!!!

My dear friend Christie has an 11 question quiz/poll on her sidebar. She really wants people's opinions on how they perceive themselves physically. Click here to take the quiz. She is giving away one of her cool products from her Lemon Squeezy Etsy shop just for taking the quiz. I would love to know the results of these questions, so go participate!

Here's the story about my piano students: In March, I had one student. Then right before I went to France, I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. The dental hygienist was asking me small talk questions, and I told her I taught piano. Her ears perked up, and she asked if I had openings. I told her I had a few, but didn't want to pick up any more students until after I went to France. So she took my phone number, and called me just a few days after I got home and asked me if I would teach two of her children. Then the next week, her across-the-street neighbor called to ask if I would take her child. Then the week after that, her around-the-corner neighbor called to see if I would take two of her children. Now, I have eight students, five boys and three girls, and my studio is full. My kids watch movies while I teach, and I wouldn't feel good about taking on any more students. I sure do love teaching though!

That's great news-- congrats to Christian! And I wish you could give ME piano lessons. I've always wished I would have practiced when i was eight. As it stands, I have no musical talent whatsoever.
Congrats!!! That is so awesome! I have a bachelors in psychology but never went further than that.
I wish I knew how to play the piano better, I took a couple of years of piano but then quit as I was also taking flute lessons.. but I hardly play my flute anymore.
I would be worried if you weren't super excited! That is a HUGE accomplishment! Congrats to Christian! (and you..for being a good support)
I'm off to take Christies quiz!
Hope you have a GREAT day!
Congrats to your hubby! I think you need to celebrate...at Costa Vida. I hear the pork nachos are good :)
I slicked over and took Christie's quiz.
If I lived closer to you, I would be calling you all the time to beg you to teach my children how to play the piano.
Uhhh...I meant to say I clicked over. I hate it when I make typos.
I wish I could get students like that! I kind of miss teaching since I haven't done it in a year but I wasn't able to find any before Rick got laid off and I don't think I could do it while I worked full time. So yay for you! I wish you guys could have come to reunion. Maybe next time (hint, hint, nudge, nudge)?
Congrats on so many wonderful things--full studio, full licensing! Wowza~
Blessings!
That's so great he passed his test!
We have some therapists who will be paid off if they don't pass their tests by July 1st. Some of them have taken it 10 times!
Yay to the full studio.
Yay happy dance to the passing the test!
And especially, Yay for you getting a pony!!!!!
hugs!
Congratulations to your husband (and you for doing all the behind the scenes things while he was doing all the work for his test). What a great feeling!
congrats Christian!!!
Erin, that is wonderful you're teaching piano! You are a great teacher and your students are very lucky.
congrats to christian!
:)
Mmm...costa vida.
Congrats to Christian!
YAY for passing the test!! WHOO HOO!! I am going to click over and take the quiz now!!
Congrats Christian for passing the test. That is the greatest feeling ever, knowing you studied for something and then acheiving the goal. Way to go on the piano students-they'll keep you buys but it's good busy.
Awesome news! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you Erin! You are a great friend--I know I will get WAY more votes now that you posted about it (seriously, you have the most followers of anyone I know personally, so I really do appreciate it so much--thank you!). Hooray for Christian! That is so neat, and also for all the students! That is a lot! Extra money is always good...now you can give into more cravings, right? ;)
Congrat's Christian. Now I will likely need to avail myself of his services..... : )
I may have been to Costa Vida once a week since it opened right next to my house.
Do you feel like you're being analyzed every time you talk to your hubby? Just wondering.
I lurve it when the tests are passed! That bit of breath you've been holding for months can finally be let out. Congratulations!
Congrats, Christian! That's so awesome that he passed!
For a while, I actually wanted to be a psychologist.
Congrats! That is so awesome! (is he taking patients yet? he he)
Now I have decided we are going to Costa Vida for dinner. Seriously ERin, your blog always makes me hungry.
A total high five to Christian! That's awesome! Now celebrate by eating those pork nachos! Sounds divine! I didn't realize you teach piano! Cool! Can you take my daughter on? I mean, I know you only live about 5 hours away, but hey, I need a piano teacher! :)
That is really exciting. I can't wait until I get out of school and take my test in January. booo
Congrats on the test! That is big and exciting news. I'm craving something with rice and beans right now too.
Congrats you guys! I still remember the bliss we felt when Neil passed his boards first try. Such a relief!
congrats to christian! hurray!
Woohoo!! Congrats! I really want to go back to college for a second degree in psychology! I think it's so interesting!
I had 4 piano students when I was still in high school... That's when I learned I'm not patient enough to teach other people's children! :)
Congrats to Christian!!! And to you! This is GOOD news!
Congratulations to Christian (and you)!
Eight students is a lot. Good luck! Sometimes I wish I taught piano because it's easier to find students, but I just don't love it enough. :) I'm glad you do!
Woot Woot!! Congrats to Christian and your fam. That is so fabulous.
Took the quiz and entered the ipod so fun.
Very cool on the students!! And Congrats to Christian for passing the test. That is AWESOME!!
Congrats to your hubby!!!
