Lucky Eight

With hearts full of gratitude, Carianne and I are overjoyed to announce the arrival Kate Annette Crandell. Kate was born on November 8, 2008, at 10:08 p.m., weighing in at 8 lbs, 8 oz (and yes, Kate rhymes with eight). Kate shares her middle name with her Great Grandma Buehner. As you can see, Kate is absolutely gorgeous. We are so thankful for the blessing she is in our life. We love her more than words can express.

Trust Me . . . I'm a Lawyer!

It's official. I passed the Arizona bar exam! I am now a practicing lawyer at Perkins Coie Brown & Bain. It's a good feeling knowing that I will never have to take an exam again. You can see my attorney profile here. Thank you everyone for all your support and for putting up with me as I locked myself away for three months studying for the bar.
