Update!

Hi!  This is about a year old :) Just getting things updated and playing with the settings.

Well I have not forgotten about the blog! We just have not had any food worth mentioning since the 12th to put here. It has been a crazy week. I am getting so much done around the house before we go to Vegas and I have so much school work to do! I will have to post pictures of what I have accomplished this week.

I am going to go order my study exam packets for my first actuary exam! I have to look into all the details but I figure now is a better time than any to start studying. I would like to get 2 exams completed in the next year. That would make me happy. For those of you who are curious about the process here is a link:

Here are some points from the website:

• A strong background in mathematics is essential.
• Actuaries generally have a bachelor’s degree and must pass a series of examinations—often taking 4 to 8 years—to gain full professional status.
• Competition for jobs will be keen as the number of qualified candidates is expected to exceed the number of positions available.
• About 55 percent of actuaries are employed by insurance carriers.

Well on another note, I finished all of Max's winter clothes shopping! Wooohoo!
