Thursday came and went. What a day!
Doug had his PMP Certification exam scheduled from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. He woke at 6a.m. and started preparing. He was ready whether he believed it or not, I saw it. I headed off to work for a very long morning while Doug studied some more and then headed to his exam.
As I nervously watched the clock I knew Doug was pouring his knowledge out into this exam. I was worried – he’d told me how difficult the exam would be, the pass/fail rate, that all the “big” companies require it . . . you get the picture!
FINALLY around 11:15 a.m. he called.
His tone was solemn, typical Doug, calling to tell me about an exam and his results. I couldn’t figure out what was going on and if he’d passed or failed. He finally told me he’d done his best and figured he just needed to go to the bar . . . and have a beer. I was confused to say the least. Then finally he said “TO CELEBTRATE!” – shew – THANK GOODNESS! He passed! Yippee! Woohoo!!!
By the time I got home the celebration was in full swing – the celebration of Food City Family Race Night that is! State street was filled with NASCAR fans, vendors, drivers and cars. Doug and I went to Wing Doctor for some ribs and beer while Peaches took a nap. When we got back to the loft the party was in full swing. Rodney Atkins was playing a concert on the State Street Stage. It was great. We are going to have an awesome view for Rhythm and Roots!!
The awesome Ultimate Dogs!
