Corporate Tax Deadline

Thankfully today is the IRS corporate tax deadline, and while we have individual tax returns to contend with at the office, the worst of the season is officially over. The stress and pressure of tax season doesn't affect me much, however it affects everyone else at work, my supervisor included. You can definitely feel the relief this afternoon as many people took off early and headed out to celebrate. So hopefully you'll get to see a bit more of me in the weeks to come...

Adoption

Paul and I have begun the adoption process for a young boy and girl in Kazakhstan. We are very excited, and I've started another blog to give updates and to post pictures and such over time. It'll be a week before I put much information on there, but that's been my primary focus in my free time the last week or so.
