I'll never forget the day. It was a humbling experience, and one that I have never taken lightly. A lot of things have happened since that day. Rick has published two books and traveled from one end of this country to the other more times than either one of us would care to count. I have served on this committee or that at church and in the community, and I have survived cancer.
And with the addition of Jesse and Adam to our family, I became a mother.
Being a district court judge is a tough job, but one that I'm incredibly honored to have. I have heard countless cases in the 11 years that I have been a judge, and I have done my best to treat each and every person who comes through my courtroom with the respect they deserve. I look forward to serving the people of this district as a district court judge for many years to come.
