Here are all the books he read, 3x5 cards he studied and notes he took. I had to make two trips to the dollar store to get packs of cards. I believe there are over 1000 cards!!
Friday, at 10:45 pm, I saw Twilight!!!! Okay, not as impressive as passing the bar, but I think waiting almost a year to see this movie without going crazy is an accomplishment. We had our friends Kara and Aaron over for dinner and dessert before we headed to the theater. Travis had read Twilight and was surprisingly looking forward to seeing it with us. And Aaron not wanting to be left at home alone decided it would be worth seeing as well. 
I bought the tickets about 2 weeks in advance just in case it sold out. We also showed up an hour early to get good seats only to find there was already a decent line.
Kara and I, of course, loved it and couldn't stop talking about it. The boys enjoyed it as well.
As a side note I decided to make cinnamon rolls for our dessert. It's Travis' mom's recipe that she helped create with a friend and is the best homemade cinnamon roll recipe I have had. I had never made them before so I thought it would be a special treat for Travis for passing the Bar. Let's just say cooking is not an instinct or even common sense to me, although I think I am getting better. My point is, if it is not written in the directions then I simply don't do it. 
Apparently, unbeknownst to me, I was supposed to place the cinnamon rolls a 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart to let rise before baking. I let them rise alright, but nowhere in the directions does it say to place them a 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart. I guess I just don't have the instinct or common sense to know not to stuff all of them on one tray. I'll be penciling that part into the recipe so I won't have another dysfunctional batch trying to escape over the edge of the pan.

Ha! I love those humongous rolls in the front. They look really good, though. Good job!
And congrats to Travis for passing the bar!! That's awesome!
Congratulations to Travis for passing. That's a relief huh?! Was Twilight now so AMAZING? I loved it to death!! I loved your cinnamon rolls. As I scrolled down my husband said," What happened to those poor cinnamon rolls?!" HAHA I think they look good!
You are too funny. I think the cinnamon rolls look delicious! :)
I totally skipped work to see Twilight! I was so excited! There were a few things that I think they should have done differently, but overall I liked it. I want to go see it again!
CONGRATS!!!!
That's nice of you to do something special for Travis. I bet the rolls tasted just as good, even if they weren't picture perfect.
I have so been wondering what you thought of Twilight! We saw it on Friday and I was thinking of you the whole time. I thought it was good! Seriously intense chemistry between those two.
Congrats to Travis! We never doubted he'd pass. And that is so funny about your sweet rolls! So something I would do. Speaking of cooking, Ryan's birthday is Sunday. Who is going to help me make that blasted red velvet cake this year?!?! I'll have to find a bakery around here!:) Miss you!!
