Do you all remember last Fall when I had the tremendous honor of meeting that judge (my idol! lol)? And during that meeting, I got a picture with her and she let me read a book she had in her office? (And then later she signed another copy for me.)
Well, yesterday, she announced her retirement. I was surprised and disappointed. I plan on seeing her, of course, before she leaves. I am just so thankful for being able to meet her when I did and for everything she has done for me. Ever since I first observed her, she has inspired me to become a judge. I will aspire to be a judge as empowering, loyal, headstrong, and caring as her.
I know this is unnecessary, but I just want to thank everyone for their support and kindness. Special shout-outs, however, go to @thecambridgees & @kates-middleton. These two lovelies have been behind me since day one and I love them for everything they have done for me.
