I am in Utah because my dad received a Distinguished Service Award from the Federal Bar Association and so I came to see him receive that award. We flew out yesterday morning, bright and early and then we'll just be here a couple of days. The girls were great on the flight. Hannah didn't make a peep and Kate happily sat in her seat and watched Dora and did stickers. Wow!
The award dinner was last night and it was wonderful! My cousin Meg watched Kate (Thank you again Meg!) and then the rest of us went to Little America for the evening. All of my siblings were there except my brother Richard (We missed you Rich!). They had dinner and then gave the awards. Two attorneys and two judges were honored. My dad's boss & long time friend introduced him and did such a great job. No amount of praise is ever suffficient in talking about my dad. He is a man of honor, wisdom, humor and humility. Then my dad spoke for a few minutes and did a great job. He had everyone laughing! I felt so honored and proud to be there to celebrate this with him. I have to be the proudest daughter in the world!
(Thank you so much to Kirsten and Jon for making it possible for me to come. Having responsibility for three extra kids is not easy thing to do! I appreciate it SO, SO much!).
