HE PASSED!!!

HE PASSED HE PASSED HE PASSED!!! My handsome, wonderful, brilliant husband passed the Washington Bar Exam. The results were sent out Friday so we waited by our mailbox Saturday, checking into the evening, just in case mail was delivered really late that day. When we found out that today was Columbus Day and all government offices, including mail, would be closed we about had a heart attack. Matt called the bar association this morning and they assured him they would be posting at noon. Noon came and went with no update. We prayed over our lunch and I asked God to please let us know the results before Matt had to go back to work. They finally updated and HE PASSED!! Tonight to celebrate we went and got some steaks and Matt's favorite soda. His idea. I thought we should go out for dinner but Matt wanted to celebrate at home. So that's what we're going to do. Steaks with some Gorgonzola cheese, asparagus, roasted red potatoes and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Simple things make him happy.

Thank you everyone for your prayers, love and support!!

Congratulations! Good for Matt!
By the say Sarah, you are such a babe! Either that is a new photo on you blog or I just noticed it. Either way, you are such a beautiful girl.

I don't sleep very much. Please forgive my typos. I meant "By the way, Sara..."

Oh Christy, you're so sweet. They're both "new" but a couple years old (engagement pictures & wedding photo). I couldn't find anything more recent I actually liked. And I thought I should have something up so someone knew who's post this is.

My first thought was someone passed his kidney stones but then as I read I remembered about the bar. I also love that you describe your husband so well and make sure to start with the most important of his attributes;)
