Thankful

Pete passed the California Bar. He is officially an attorney. He not someone just working at a law firm, he's an attorney. I'm married to an attorney. I've been married to a student for our whole marriage so pardon me as I repeat one more time, I am married to an attorney:)

He worked really hard to achieve this goal and we're thankful that he passed. The four months he had to wait to find out the results was treacherous. He didn't overly stress and probably there were days when he didn't think about it... but always in the back of our minds was that darn test. The final hurdle. Now he can go into work confidently on Monday as a member of the Bar community. Pretty exciting. He has been pretty calm about it all and mainly feels relief... but I am the one who is jumping up and down excited!

So far work has been going well for him. He had a week long training in the Bay Area which was fun for him. Stayed at a nice hotel, had a hefty meal stipend, and enjoyed chatting with his colleagues. He has a nice office and likes the people he works with. He has already had a little bit of work to do (he gets work on an assignment basis), but overall things are still slow, so it's been nice to ease into what will soon become a very demanding work schedule. We're very proud of him.

Parker said something funny. He loves to engage with other kids and the other day he asked a little girl what her name was. She didn't respond. He turned to me and said, "Mama she don't talk. She doesn't have a tongue." :)

Tonight at dinner he got a little bowl of ice cream, which ended up falling on the ground. On the ride home he brought up his spilled ice cream. "My ice cream falled down. That was very, very terrible."
