Finally....


After Months of agonzing, endless studying; three days of stressfilled test-taking; and 2 1/2 more months of waiting "for the phone to ring" per sey (not that they actually called, just the idea) -- we finally KNOW..... JON PASSED THE NEVADA BAR!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited! As soon as possible, he'll be sworn in and be a real attorney! His Boss wanted him to be sworn in today, so I'm certain he'll be busy whenever it happens. I wish I could express here how excited we are. Jon's been stressing about it for the last little while, getting more tense each day that it came nearer. I randomly checked the website for the last month, hoping they overshot the date and the results would be listed. All to no avail. Even yesterday, I checked the site, Nothing. Seriously, 10 minutes later, Jon called and told me the great news. WE are so stoked! School is finally over (unless of course we go back, which is always a possibility). We can finally settle and be stable. The passing rate for the July bar was 69% so Jon was really glad to be one that passed. He even got to come home from work early (woohoo!) and I didn't have to make dinner. Red Robin was our celebration of choice and I fully intend to keep celebrating for at least a week. So, Yay for us, and Yay to everyone else who was successful (all of our Law-school buddies were :)). Hopefully, I'll be a little more creative with my blogging. It's really been a struggle to think of something to blog about...until now! hee hee!
