Playing Catch-up

We went to Utah for Conference, and our mission reunions, and are just now getting around to putting these pictures up. This is Janay's Mission President, Arlen Crouch and his wife.
Janay with her sisters. Janay threw her sister Vonnie a surprise birthday party.

This is my first convert baptism, Amor Dumlao. I had no idea she was going to be at the mission reunion. Turns out that she married an Elder from my mission, they were married in the temple, and had a baby boy the day before Mackenzie was born. It was great to catch up with Amor, and even better to see that she is still active in the gospel.
These are our tallest friends, the Gainors. We are looking forward to the innaugural Hunt/Gainor Vacation to Canada this July.
Here we are with our friends the Farmers, and my Mission President, Jack Peck. The man walks on water in my book.
Here was another awesome experience. As we were leaving Janay's mission reunion at the Marriott in Downtown SLC, I checked the front desk for parking validation and recognized the man standing next to me. It was Elder Octaviano Tenorio, who at the conference previous had given one of, if not my favorite conference talk ever. We walked away at the same time and I stopped him and told him I just wanted to shake his hand because he had had such a great impact on me. He ignored my hand and said..."Brother, give me a hug!" After my hug he grabbed my arm and went over to meet Janay and Mackenzie, where this picture was taken. He is a very kind man and a great example for us all.

Just Call Me Doctor

Well, not really, but we finally had our graduation ceremony for Dan to get his J.D., otherwise known as Juris Doctor, or Doctor of the Law. He actually has a few classes left to take, and will be done in December, then sit for the February Bar. But all of his friends were graduating this May so he chose to do it now, rather than next May with a bunch of people he doesn't know.
From left to right, Dan, Eric Fernandez (an aspiring D.A.), Mike Saroca (plans on doing military law), Scott Rooker (going to do something with some firm in Stockton).
We tried to match Mackenzie's outfit to Dan's robes so she could match "the purple dragon."


Dan graduated from Law School in the same building he graduated from High school, the Memorial Auditorium in downtown Sacramento...TENDER!

Law and Order

No, this isn't the Sacramento County Sheriff that pulled me over that fateful Sunday morning months ago, but this guy is pretty much the coolest cop I've ever seen, so he made it on the blog. I was not going to let the Sacramento County Sheriff take me down with a speeding ticket without a fight, so being the young budding lawyer that I am, and having watched Law and Order as a kid, I decided to take my ticket to trial. I went to my first hearing a month ago and pled not guilty to the speeding charge. I obtained my trial date and feverishly began to prepare. I knew that I might be going up against a seasoned DA...out for blood.

Yes, this is what I pictured...except that I wasn't a woman, and the court reporter didn't wear hearing aids in my vision of things. I showed up on the appointed date ready for battle. The courtroom was buzzing before the hearing. I brought my briefcase and legal pad so I could look like an intimidating real life lawyer, rather than the chump law student that I actually am. I wore my best suit, glasses, but held off on the cuff links, I didn't want to look too flashy to the judge. As I sat and waited for the trial to start I nervously reviewed my notes, eying the Highway Patrolmen sitting next to me to make sure they weren't stealing my case strategy. Finally the judge walked in and the bailiff called the court to order. The judge called my name and I approached the bench, "Good afternoon your honor." The judge gave me a look like "Easy buddy, this is a friggin' traffic ticket, not a murder trial!" I took my seat and the Judge addressed me, "Mr. Hunt, the officer has failed to appear, and therefore your case is dismissed." I slid my legal pad into my briefcase like I had somewhere much more important to be, like I needed to get back to billing $500 an hour, said "Thank you very much your honor" and walked out of the courtroom. I had just won my first trial, surely to be the first of many. But for now, I can enjoy the feeling of being undefeated in the courtroom.

Technology

I'm sure you are all wondering why we haven't updated our blog...For starters, our lame computer won't read our memory card from our camera. Therefore, we don't have fabulous pics to go along with our fabulous stories. Then this fabulous computer crashed in the middle of Dan's fabulous law final this past week. "...But I still love technology..."
