Oh, the JOY! Fire!

Last night, we gathered with a group of friends to celebrate the year anniversary of Eric passing EA-2B, his actuarial exam nemisis. He took this one test four times on the road to his FSA and EA credentials and hated every minute of the IRS minutiae. At least six or seven of the other nine exams, he passed on his first try, so this one was particularly abhorrent by comparison.

Here are a couple of pictures of the festivities... We actually burned Eric's study notes and 2 volumes of IRS code in a weber grill on our back porch (thanks CP!) The "snow" that you see in the pictures is actually the paper ash from the bonfire blowing around.


Look at that happy man!! Burn, baby, Burn!!

Thanks to all our friends who helped us survive that challenging season of life and to the ones who celebrated with us his huge achievement!


And thank you, Lord, that it's behind us!! FREEDOM!!
