So that's why

[baronessekat]

I got tons done at work by 1:15pm and headed out the door to drop something at the post office then go pick up the Boogie.

We then went and got the Boo from work and the three of us headed up to the event. A one hour drive to go to court because the Boss said that we needed to be there.

We went. Had to pay site fee for being there an hour because the YMCA people were doing a head count at court and if their numbers were more than troll there would be bad results. Not pleased with having to pay $13 for an hour of court.

But Boss gets called in and his squires go in with him so he can do his oath of fealty.

Then after he finishes His Majesty says that they have business with one of Boss' squires and my name is called.

Talk about my work occurs and then BAM...

Order of the Pelican called in
Writ of Summons read
Vigil at Pennsic
Elevation at AEthelmearc court at Pennsic.

So yeah.. I guess I had to be there. I'm in shock.

Those who want to help... contact the dicea, bakestondone and meirwen

Okay, so for someone who hasn't been around the SCA in a while, what does this mean?

[baronessekat.livejournal.com]

It means that I am going to be named into the Order of the Pelican.

It means that I will be the Service Order equivalent of a Knight. It's the highest rank for Service you can get.

Peer of the Realm

[eternalmusings.livejournal.com]

WOO-HOO! Congratulations!

Congrats!

[emt-hawk.livejournal.com]

I hope you'll let us all in on your thoughts about elevation and peerages as you have them.

[baronsteffan.livejournal.com]

Congratulations.

YES!!!

[3fgburner.livejournal.com]

'Bout damn time, says I. You've been busting your butt forever. I've seen you handle some of the worst crap to come down at Pennsic, with a fair amount of grace and aplomb. At your most-stressed out, you still serve.

They're finally recognizing you for what you are. Guess I'll have to break my "I never go to court" rule, this year.

*squeee!!!*

You, dear lady, rock! Sneaky, sneaky Family... :)

[hearne.livejournal.com]

OMG!

[unadesaintluc.livejournal.com]

CONGRATS!!! I wont be there at Pennsic but I will be thinking about you!!

[swordandmug.livejournal.com]

I am very thrilled for your and am sorry to have missed this; however, YOU not missing it was the important part. Very glad you had a rough week end so very well.

[annaeisenkopf.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! was so excited for you and glad I could be behind the throne retaining so I could see you face. Congrats!!!

I just caught up on the court report and had to pick my jaw up from the floor, and then had to explain to Giovanni why I was screaming, "YES!" really loudly ;)

Congratulations, and well deserved!

It's been a long time in the making...

[portiastluke.livejournal.com]

...but congratulations, now that you've "made it!"
