Praise God!

Update. Justin has been studying for 2 months to pass his Series 7 License Exam. He needs this license from the government to be able to do his job for Edward Jones. Anyway, he took the test today-which he only got one shot to take-and PASSED!!! Woohoo. Thank you to everyone who was praying. This is a very happy day for us, since failing would have meant him loosing his job immediately. We're so glad the pressure of this monster test is off his shoulders.

What's next?

The training for Edward Jones is a long process-like 4 1/2 months. Next, Justin needs to study for the Series 66 License Exam-another federal regulation. This is next Thursday. It is less material to study and not as high stakes, but still important. After that we will enjoy Labor Day weekend getting settled in La Crosse and then Justin is off to Tempe, Arizona for 1 week of training there. When he gets back mid-September, he has some intense training with a Field Trainer for the next 2ish months. Finally, in mid-November he goes back to Tempe, AR for a week where he will "graduate" from the training phase. Then he can come home and actually start doing his job. Whew, I'm glad this will start to level out as the busy Christmas season starts. Oh wait, that already started-I saw Christmas decorations out at Walmart yesterday...
