On Thursday evening (August 30th) Jeremy and I went to our first law school "event". We drove up to the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City to attend the Founder's Day Dinner, an annual event for the J. Reuben Clark Law Society which commemorates the founding of the BYU Law School. BYU Law School alumni, professors, and students were invited to attend the event. The hotel was beautiful and elegant. It felt fun to go out to a "nice" event. Being new to the law school there were only a few familiar faces. Jeremy and I were mingling with the other 1Ls (first year law students), when we turned around and practically ran into Elder Dallin H. Oaks - who was directly behind us! I said something classy like, "Oh - hi," but Jeremy saved both of us by saying, "You're Elder Oaks." Elder Oaks just smiled and laughed, and we shook his hand. Wow! So, this is the ballroom at the Little America Hotel where the dinner was held.
We sat at tables with 4 other couples, chatting about law school and life in general. Dinner was yummy. What more can I say? Then Elder Bruce C. Hafen spoke about how the BYU law school came to be. It was amazing to hear about all of the little (and big!) miracles that occured to help BYU law school be where it is today.
Jeremy and I went away from the event with full tummies, and a deeper sense of appreciation and gratitude for our opportunity to be here at BYU during this phase of our lives. It will be a hard journey - but it will be worth it!
