Summer Update!

Is it REALLY already June 25th...?! This summer has gone by much too fast! Here is the update on our lives:

Andrew finished his first quarter of Chiropractic school last week! He did fabulous :) His grades were great and he survived the 27 hour course load just fine. His "summer" is a 3 week break from class, so he spent the first week in Atlanta keeping me company and is now up in Ohio visiting with family and friends for a week! I'll join him up there next Wednesday, and then we'll spend the following week in Canada on our annual family vacation. We can't wait! Oh, and Bella girl gets to come this year, too ;)

I'm busy working... but I'm having a ton of fun doing it! I'm babysitting three precious little kiddos 3 days a week, and working at their parents' bankruptcy law firm the other 2 days! It has been SUCH a good experience so far! I've learned a lot at the office, and at home with the kids haha. It has been excellent birth control - despite their cuteness. I'm excited for a break though and can't wait to see my fam and friends up in Ohio!

In other exciting news, I received a WONDERFUL email the other week! I was awarded a $32,000 scholarship for law school!!! We were thrilled with the news and now there is hope that we may actually be able to reproduce before the age of 35... just kidding. Sort of. But really, we're so excited! My hard work is - literally - paying off.

Looking forward to what is left of our summer and will keep y'all posted! Uh oh... I've been in the south almost a whole year now, y'all is starting to sound like English. I better get back to school......

Law School Ball

At the end of every year, law schools (well, most law schools) hold a Barrister's Ball... people call it the law school "prom," but really it is a fun night out to get dressed up and celebrate the fact that you've survived a first, or another, year of misery! Ok, I'm exaggerating. It's not that miserable! So maybe Barrister's Ball is more of a last hoorah before finals? Those are quickly approaching - in fact, I had one the morning OF the ball! - so I suppose the ball was probably the last night I'll spend out on the town until summer. In any event, we had a really great time! My grandparents were staying with us for the night as they passed through from Florida to Ohio, so we ended up going to the ball pretty late, but had a fabulous time nonetheless :) Here are a few pictures of us all dolled up and having a good time w/ friends!

Savannah Weekend

Andrew and I spent Easter weekend exploring Savannah, GA! It was our birthday gift from my parents (and each other!) so we made the most of the fine dining and historic tours the city has to offer. We LOVED the beautiful scenery - especially the old trees and gorgeous gardens. It was a much needed getaway, and we're so glad to have had the chance to spend a few days in such a quaint little place!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Andrew turned 23 on Valentine's Day!! :) My parents and Meredith were in town for the weekend... so we had a fun visit filled with shopping and dining! Mere hadn't seen our new stomping grounds yet, so we gave her the grand tour! I baked my first fancy cake to celebrate Andrew's life - and it turned out to be (surprisingly) amazing! Andrew's birthday definitely overshadowed Valentine's Day, as we spent our evening eating sushi and seeing The Wolfman haha. Not one of my favorites, I must say... but the birthday boy enjoyed it. Bella loved my baking - and by loved, I mean that she wanted to attack it! Enjoy the pics...



The Red Velvet Cheesecake was a success :) The trick candles... not so successful! His "gift" is that we'll be spending a long weekend in Savannah next month! Can't wait!!!
