Yesterday was a very emotional day. Bar results day.
Although the idea of McKay not passing the bar has been in the back of my mind all along, we have planned and talked as if he had already passed the bar for months now.
Our financial planning,
family planning,
vacation planning,
house planning,
LIFE planning,
has depended on McKay becoming an official attorney.
Yesterday was the day. The results were scheduled to be posted on the Nevada Bar website at 3:00pm, however earlier this year the February results were posted early, around 11:30am.
So, McKay was at work...I was at home...and we both sat on the web page hitting refresh waiting for the results to be posted.
Not until this point did I really consider the fact that his name might not be on the pass list.
What if he doesn't pass...
What if he has to start studying again...
What if we have to wait until February for him to take the bar again...then another three months to get those results...
What if, what if, what if.
HEADACHE.
SICK TO MY STOMACH.
And I'm not even the one who took the test!
McKay was just as bad...no...worse.
Around 1:15pm McKay received a call from a friend who works in the judges chambers. She had the information early....and he PASSED!
He.Passed.
No more studying.
No more wondering.
No more.
No more.
No more.
After thoughts of calling everyone we knew to come celebrate with us, we decided we were pretty worn out and chose to have a nice calm dinner with just our family. We ate small portions of our huge meals, laid our heads back, and breathed (is that a word?).
And now as all the attorneys we know have said.
The real stress begins.

Congrats to McKay! What an accomplishment!
Keresa, you express yourself so well. All of us felt what you two have been feeling, although on a smaller scale I'm sure. Again, we are all so proud of McKay. Yes, the real stress may be just beginning, but it's ok...you guys can handle it together, you always have. Love you, McKay and those sweet, sweet grandchildren!!!!!
Congrats. Rich told me and I was thrilled. I am so glad you two ended up in our ward. I hope this doesn't mean you are leaving anytime soon!!!
