he's an official, real-life attorney!

This afternoon Aaron took the official oath of an attorney
and was sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court.

Some would say it was a typical boring ceremony, but I loved every minute of it. We got a sitter for the kids and headed downtown, just the two of us. These are big official ceremonies-- where the whole extended families and their dogs can attend. (actually, I don't think pets were allowed..) Anyway, it was a little weird being the only one in the cheering section for Aaron, considering how large our families are and the extent of our support group. But today it was just us and it was such an awesome experience. I walked away feeling spiritually uplifted and SO proud of my man. I am sure all of the new attorneys have worked hard to get to this point, but I wondered how many had spouses (not to mention three little boys at home!) As Aaron took the oath, it seemed almost similar to the temple ceremony. I was emotional during it all.. I feel so grateful to have such a hard working, honest husband. He is so full of integrity and the world needs more attorneys like him. Today was a big day for our family! We did it! Years of studying, working and raising our kids has finally paid off... but this is just the beginning of our long journey. I am so looking forward to whatever comes our way.

Aaron has a job with an excellent firm in Vegas and we are so excited to enter in the "real world" (with a real paycheck) He's not starting for 2 weeks!! which gives us more time to celebrate. We are contemplating a family trip to Chicago-- are you ready for visitors, B&K? It's either the windy city or Disneyworld...... and we've been there, done that.
