Ben at the Utah State Capitol

So grateful for the time spent with Ben, Brittan, and family last week.  On Tuesday, we all went to the State Capitol building in Salt Lake City for Ben to be officially sworn in as an attorney.


The ceremony was well done, with just the perfect balance of formality and informality . . . Brittan and I were comfortable watching from the perimeter of the small gathering of family and friends, which allowed us to follow James up the steps and walk with Caitlin to explore some of the behind the scenes spots.  Perfect.


This tribute to thank families for their support was perfect because as we know there are sacrifices for all throughout this long process of attaining the degree and passing the bar.


The ceremony took place in the Capitol rotunda, which is beautiful.


Can you spot Ben in both of these pictures?



Here's a bit of the swearing in . . . Caitlin and I were doing a little exploring, so we weren't at a spot where I could catch a video of Ben . . . but you get the idea.


And here's a picture of this beautiful Parker family.


Congratulations to you all!
