Bootcamp with Jess

If you want to see what I've been doing the past couple of weeks watch the video below. It's really intense. I've thrown up a total of 4 times since I've started. Here is the website if you live in Salt Lake and are interested.

CPA

Today I opened my Becker materials that came late last week and started studying for the CPA exam. I went through the first lesson, took me about 4 hours, it's been kind of overwhelming....one bite at a time.

I found out my start date with Deloitte, September 8th (day after labor day).

Trip to Chicago

It is a little hard to see in this picture but while I was waiting at the gate on my flight home I noticed this bag getting soaked in the rain. Looks like it fell off of one of those trailers. Glad it wasn't mine!
It took a while but I finally got my neice Claire to look at the camera long enough to get a good picture

Some barbeque chicken pizza I made at my sisters house
A view of the Hancock tower just before I scaled the face of it (just kidding, I took the elevator up 100 floors)
A view of the Sears tower from the top of the Hancock tower. I have now been to the top of the World Trade Center, Sears Tower and Hancock Tower

In front of the original playboy mansion
This bank is all over in Chicago. I think it is a really funny name for a bank. The only logical conclusion that me and my brother in law can come up with is that the original location was on the corner of Fifth Street and Third street, otherwise, the name makes no sense.
In front of a statue in downtown Chicago. My two nieces Maddie and Claire
Two nephews Aiden and Owen. It looks like Owen is about to kick Aiden in the face but I think he was just jumping on the couch.

Vaca

My graduation trip to Chicago is going great. I'll post pictures up on my blog after I get home on Wednesday. I went to a Cubs game yesterday which was amazing, tomorrow I'm going to the Chicago History Museum and possibly the top of the Hancock tower. Tuesday is the museum of science and industry which I hear is pretty cool.

For those of you who don't know, whenever I visit big cities I like to see their major sports stadiums, I'm a big sports fan. I've already visited Soldier Field (Home of the Chicago Bears) and yesterday I went to a game at Wrigley Field (Cubs). The only place I want to see is the United Center where the Bulls play but from what I hear it is in a really bad area of town and not worth it. Today while my sister and I were driving on the freeway I got a glimpse of the roof so I guess that will have to do. I don't really want to see the US Cellular Field where the White Sox play, maybe if I come out again I will go there.
