I am very proud of him and thankful for him for lots of reasons ... but as it relates to this I'll just share a few things that come to mind...
*He left his chosen field of engineering in part to find a career that would challenge him differently, but I believe primarily to be able to provide for me in a way that would allow me to stay home with our kids but also so we could stay near my family, friends and the area I love!
*He took a leap of faith by taking a test and applying for a job as an acturial student when the odds seemed to outweigh the future opportunities (Thanks Brian for your help in this area!)
*He studied lots of extra hours while continuing to go to work everyday and helping me as much as he could.
*He didn't get discouraged when he didn't achieve the results he would've liked right away.
*He took initiative to learn new things, pursue new job opportunities and stayed focused on his goal!
*He worked hard to make this goal happen!
*He did all of this while being a newlywed, giving of himself to the teens in the youth group at FBC, having a pregnant wife (3 times) that required a lot of his help, having 3 newborns in the house (and then subsequently busy toddlers!), putting a house up for sale, moving 2 times and renovating a home!
I am very happy for him and excited he has achieved this goal! I look forward to seeing him become an FSA and helping him reach that goal, too!
