If you have not heard yet, I found out yesterday that I passed the bar! It was the most nerve-racking experience of my life (opening the results was even worse than taking the exam). I'm not sure why I was sooo nervous, but I was. I was pretty sure I "should" pass, but I had convinced myself I could find a way to blow it. The second I opened the PDF document--which is just a list of names of everybody who passed--my heart immediately started to pound about an inch out of my chest. I don't think I took a breath for like 2 minutes, and I scrolled down as slowly as possible. I even made Michelle and the kids leave the room before I got my results so that I could discover my fate in private (just in case it was bad news and I had an embarrassing melt down). I cannot even explain the relief I felt when I saw my beautiful name on that list. (I never thought I would consider my name beautiful)
I want to thank everybody who prayed for me and supported me and my family during the last 3 1/2 years. I am so thankful to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. I especially want to thank Michelle and my amazing children. I could never have done it without them.
Now, I get to take the Kansas bar in February. It won't be nearly as stressful though because I only have to take the essay portion, and even if I don't pass, I'm still a licensed attorney and I still have my job!!!
