I posted this in the DONE thread, but I didn’t want it to get lost in the shuffle without you all knowing how truly grateful I am for you.

I can’t believe I can finally post in this thread. I am so excited and I don’t know what to type, but I know I owe all of you that have supported me along the way a great deal of gratitude. There is no way I could list out everyone, but I will try. Please forgive me if I forget you. I’ve been at this a long time and had so many positive interactions.

To Jeff–Thanks for creating this site. I went through BEC and AUD before I realized this site existed and it was the loneliest experience. I felt like I was the only person taking this exam and no one understood what it entailed or why I had to study so much or even what this meant to me or my career. So thank you for giving us a place to make this process less isolating. Also, thank you for your study materials. The Ninja Notes, Audio, and MCQ were my saving grace for AUD, FAR, and REG. And the study forums–Although you tried to keep my locked out 🙂 , the people that participated were amazing and it was wonderful to have a place to go to focus only on my current exam. The explanations, the quizzing, the support…there are no words to truly express the importance and the role it all played in my passing this enormous exam.

To my study buddies in REG Q4 group–zubairs, wannabe, Kemy, Bucky, sullivan, CPAHopeful, 2014CPA, taxman89–you guys were great. The quizzing was awesome and really pushed me over to the passing side of 75. Thank you all so much.

To my Q2 FAR group–NJPRU, wannabe, howmanyletters, JRosen, zubairs, teetee, Kenada, AleFLCPA, spartan, Amor, Amay–the support and encouragement and inspiring words and positive attitudes really made me believe in myself and my ability to pass this exam. Thank you!

To everyone else that has supported me along the way (Kricket, NYCAccountant, and many many more), I hope I can return the favor in some way if I haven’t already.

This girl is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet she was thrilled! My kids are 1,3, and 5 so I really only told the 5 year old because the other two were like, “Yayyy. Can we have cereal please?” I wake up my 5 year old first every day because she has to get ready for school and the other two are just going to my mom's house so I pretty much leave them asleep until I'm buckling them in the car. I took the 5 year old to the kitchen and I said, “Guess what. Mommy passed her test and won't need to study anymore. That means we get to spend a lot more time together. What do you think about that?” She was so excited! She loves getting to spend time with my parents while I study, but this last study session hit her really hard. She's been extremely clingy ever since I took the test. She doesn't want to let me out of her sight, which is not like her at all. Out of the 3 of them, she's the daddy's girl so for her to want me more than him is shocking. Clearly I've got some special mommy/daughter one on one time to make up for. 🙂 I can't wait to get started!!! I have to go back to school and take 4 more accounting classes before I can be licensed, but I think I'm just going to take 6 months off and get in some real quality time with my family and then maybe take one class at a time until I'm done. Fortunately I have a job so I'm not in any hurry to get licensed as long as I make it within the 3 year Florida requirement.

That's awesome! My 7yo boy asked me last night if I had passed yet. He is also tired of me studying all the time! We made cupcakes last night 🙂

I don't know Rocky. Considering that it was my highest score, I may just start doing taxes for a living. Hahaha. I couldn't even type that without laughing out loud. Booo to taxes!!!
