OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is how she started. I was barely 21. She was this bundle of energy that scared the living hell out of me. And I loved her beyond my own boundaries. She became my focus, my reason, my joy.

She kept growing. And learning.

And so did I.

She learned, very early, to be herself.

And then, all of a sudden, there she was. Grown.
And graduating Summa Cum Laude from Law School. Giving a speech three days after taking the Bar Exam.

She worked SO HARD. She gave SO MUCH.

And today, at six pm she learned the the Bar Association of the State of California has deemed her qualified to act as an attorney in all the Courts in this State.

SHE PASSED THE BAR!

I would like to introduce my law partner, Melodie Ann Rivas, Esquire!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
