What a special day

Today, June 27, 2008 was just designated victim advocate day by Governor Huntsman at the Graduation Banquet for the 2008 Utah Victim Assistance Academy. I was privileged to go after my Supervisor was given permission by our director to let me go this year. I wonder if the person in charge of the Academy was the driving force behind this or even the incentive award that my boss left on my desk on the day I almost didn't come to work, and then I was surely motivated to stay. Our theme was "Boot Camp: Operation Freedom-justice for all." It was a great week. I was in a victim advocate's group called the "Ecko Company" and I wrote the marching chant that was used in our contest. We didn't come in the top two, but I heard we came in 3rd. I just wrote the words. The whole team contributed to everything else with what we did in our performance. It was such a great week with wonderful presentations. I had the sweetest moment today, however, when I got to share something special with a Cheif of police who was there. We both had something in common with a special case we had to deal with.
