Me in a nutshell...

I married my high school sweetheart in 2003 and have been enjoying the military life with all of it's challenges both good and bad since. I have a B.S. in Psychology, worked in law enforcement field and now am finding it difficult to find any work. I have decided to follow my heart and work with numbers! Yuck to some, but fun to me. I'm working on an Accounting degree while juggling military life, raising 2 beautiful kids and searching for an opening in the job market where I can hone my skills. Follow me along this fun, stressful and interesting journey....

March 1st 2014 Update

Welcome March, I am off to a good start.  I am now in my 3rd term at WGU and finally finished TPV1.  For any of those out there that are studying for this exam, please, please, please don't waste your time like I did.  I found that the BEST resource for this class is the Sybex text that is provided by WGU.  I read and used both of the other resources/texts that are provided by WGU and in my opinion they are unnecessary.  I have attached my notes from Sybex and I think that if you read through all 10 chapters and take good notes you will do great! I wish that I would have used this text before I took the test the 1st time.....hopefully this can help someone else.  I now am studying CMO1 (Concepts in Cost and Managerial Accounting), then I will have my capstone left and I am done. 


Work update....
I am still working at Summit Electric Supply and I have been lucky to have been given a supervisor that is willing to give me more training and allow me to learn more than my position is meant to.  I have been doing some entry level accounting work.  I enjoy it greatly! It is like piecing puzzles together and solving problems all day.  So stimulating! I can't wait to get more into more challenging work and dive deeply into more accounting work.


I plan on gaining another year of experience and then plan to begin to study for the CPA.  I am not sure where I will sit for the exam as we could possibly PCS (military move).  Once I pass the CPA, I then plan to begin working on my MBA (hopefully I can get accepted to ASU's MBA program). 


Here is the link to my notes for TPV1:
