Announcing....

Justice Schaller!  As in one of my best friends is the 31st Superior Court Judge in Thurston County Superior Court.  It was such a honor and an amazing experience to witness the swearing in ceremony of Chrissy.  In her professional career she is Justice Christine Schaller but to me she will always be Chrissy. 


I love this picture.  And not for the obvious reason.  For the fact that Chrissy is first and foremost a Mom.  Edward wasn't sure of what to make of the swearing in ceremony.  And all he wanted was his Mom.  We teased Chrissy that Edward is now sworn in as an elected official too!
 
After she was robed, Chrissy spoke.  She is such an eloquent and concise speaker.  My favorite part was her talking of her late father, Ed Schaller.

The girls with Judge Schaller.  Karla, Jen, Chrissy, Jamee and me.  It was awesome that Jen flew up from San Diego to witness this event!

We got Chrissy a beautiful custom made brooch.  It's hard to see in the picture but the brooch has three charms.  One is a red jewel (she loves red).  One is a gavel.  One is a peacock which stand for integrity.  We also got her a print with a quote from Abraham Lincoln which states "Be sure you put your feet in the right place then stand firm".
