Last night was an all-out celebration in our home. We found out that Daddy DID, indeed, officially PASS the VA bar exam!
Thanks to a tip off from my friend Mrs Martin, and the site of VA board of bar examiners, I was finding out that he passed just before he walked in the door. (He had been checking the site methodically all day at work.) I quickly hung up the phone and ran to the door. As B stepped in, Liv walked down from upstairs (dressed in full costume regalia) and stated matter-of-factly, "You passed the bar, Daddy."
B was confused, as he had JUST checked the site before leaving the office, 15 minutes prior. The boys all scrambled downstairs and we joined in a rowdy chant of "You did it! You did it! You passed the bar exam! Hooray for Daddy!" This was followed by actually proving to B that his name was on the pass list, and then a gusty Doxology.
What a HUGE accomplishment. B passed the bar exam after MUCH hard study, long hours, and a family separation we do not care to ever repeat. He is now a VA attorney. . . and we remain his grateful family.

WOOHOO! I almost cried imagining the total excitement of the moment and the joy of your family celebration, but I was not surprised for a minute--Braden, we never doubted you! What an amazing, enormous accomplishment! (And what a relief that you don;t ever have to think about it again!) Congratulations! Way to go! Praise God!!!
Haha, just checked Facebook, and LOVED B's more understated "announcement". :)
Congratulations Braden. We too never doubted once that you would pass the first time. What a weight off your shoulders. God is good.

Yea for all of you!
