in the courtroom

i had to go to court today for my CASA case.  it was an initial progress review (IPR) hearing.  which basically means we check the progress of all the services the court ordered for mom and dad at the last hearing 90 days ago.  today was the first time i actually got to go into the court room and be in front of the judge.  every other time so far all the parties have agreed and we just signed the papers before going into the court room.  but today we had a few minor details to work out so we got to go in front of the judge.  since they were just minor things, it took a total of like 15 minutes actually in the court room.  but it was awesome.  i felt cool.  i got to talk to the judge.  and things worked out well with the case.  i think all parties were satisfied with the result.
