More good news!

On September 15th, 2011 at 9:00 am we found out some fabulous news! Drumroll please..................................Gavin passed the Idaho Bar Exam!!! We are so excited and thank everyone for their prayers and encouragement.

Right now we are hoping to get a job with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Gavin externed there as a patent examiner last summer and really wants to go back. They are starting another round of hiring in October (soon!) and Gavin's qualified for the position plus he was an extern and they liked him so we're really hopeful that they will hire him. We're hoping that they are as motivated to hire quickly as we are to start working quickly...come on government agency! Be swift!!!

A funny little story about Gavin passing the Bar: so I was at work when he found out (they post online who passes--if your name is on the list then you passed), so I asked him to call my work and let me know (for those who don't know I'm a medical assistant and work in a doctor's office). So he calls me and tells me his name is on the list and I'm so excited. Karrie at work is walking by and I tell her the good news. She runs up to the front of the office and says "Tiffany's husband passed!" All the ladies up front are horrified at her enthusiasm until she explains, "he passed his big test, he didn't 'pass on' or pass away". Lol, you can't use that lingo in a doctor's office, everyone momentarily thought Gavin had died. Haha.

So there's our happy news. I'm so proud of Gavin for passing the Bar exam on his first try. It is such a hard test and a lot of people don't pass it the first go around, but he did and we are so happy.

Pregnancy is still going well, I'm 35 weeks along if you can believe it! I have to post some pictures soon, I look like I have a basketball under my shirt--just pokes straight out. Mostly I'm just tired, a lot of which is due to the fact that I have to go to the bathroom 3-4 times a NIGHT and I get pretty bad leg cramps about 2-3 times a lot of nights. I feel like an old man getting up so much. But that's really the worst of it so I feel extremely fortunate! Pictures hopefully to follow...
