Today the SOA (Society of Actuaries, of course) posted the list of new candidates who earned their Associateship in the Society of Actuaries and my hardworking, brilliant husband is on the list!! He has worked incredibly hard for the past five years studying for these exams. Those of you who know us well know the amount of work that Mark has put into studying. Many comment that he is a professional test taker! It has been our prayer request in life group ever since we've been at NorthCross Church. I know to me and all of our friends it seems like every time we turn around he's studying again! I have complained about the hours upon hours Mark spends in front of books with his calculators and pencils. And now we, mostly he but I have some occassional moments of support, have made it to this big milestone. God has been so faithful in Mark's journey to find the right career and He has really blessed Mark in this field. It is such a blessing to have your husband happy and confident in his work. We are very thankful.
And now only two more tests to go until he is DONE. At that point he will have his FSA (Fellowship...) which will be amazing. Maybe we will throw an enormous party.
Anyway, if you want to check out the actual list here's the link (notice the high quantity of Asian candidates!)

As Mark's mom, I am extremely proud of his hard work and accomplishments. Congratulations, Mark! Your dad and I love you so much and we are extremely proud of you. Jennie, you have supported Mark through the entire process thus far and that has been critical to his success. We love you, too and are just as proud of you. We are all truly blessed!!!
We are EXTREMELY proud of you! Your hard work, perserverance, and patience throughout this process has been very inspiring - your's too, Jennie! We love y'all and we couldn't be prouder. And we know it may not have been possible without such a loving brother- and sister-in-law! (Joseph had me add that last part.)
Hurray Mark! What an accomplishment!
