Gordon passed his test!!! He got the results while we were on vacation, so there was some extra pressure as the whole family watched him check the website. Once Gordon saw his good new he shared it immediately with a success yell and we celebrated with ice cream. Since this was his seventh test Gordon is now qualified to become an associate. This is a big deal in the actuarial world. He will now be able to give qualified opinions and he get letters after his name. We will be traveling to Seattle to accept his honors. I'm excited for that.
P.S. (For those of you who don't live with an Actuary) Gordon is a college graduate with a degree in Actuarial Science. Actuaries take a series of exams after college to become fully certified. Each test takes approximately 500 hours of study time to prepare for them. It takes the average Actuary 7 1/2 years to finish the exams.

WOO-HOO!!! That's great! So, how many more tests in the future?? Will he get a raise? That's impressive that he will actual travel to accept the honors... is this the end of the road then?
He has two more left, which will hopefully be finished by this time next year. He will get a raise.
YAY!
