We officially made it through the first year of law school. Friday we went out and celebrated Ross becoming a 2L (second year law student) and then enjoyed our first weekend without studying since Christmas. Now it's just the anticipation of getting the final grades back. Once those grades come and we figure out how they are figured (second semester only or cumulative) in I will post them on here. Needless to say both Ross and I are glad that finals are over so we can both relax a little. Even though summer classes start this Thursday, 2 classes is better than 5.
To enjoy our first weekend of not having to study or read or write papers, we relaxed all morning on Saturday and enjoyed our evening at Disneyland. Sunday was also very relaxing with just a few errands to run. To help enjoy our time of doing nothing, we added to our collection of games with the recent purchase of Phase 10, Sorry, and of course Candy Land. I'm sure you can guess which one is Ross' favorite!

Happy Mother's Day!!
Ross and I would like to wish everyone a Happy Mother's Day! Being the first year away from family during all the holidays has definitely been a hard one. We are always thinking of everyone back home and how much we miss all the excitement. But you can be sure that we are staying busy and creating our own excitement out here.
This is the final week for finals for Ross. He has 3 left for the Spring semester...Mon, Wed, and Fri. After that last final on Fri, everyone goes out to celebrate! After that celebrating, Ross only has a few days to relax because Summer classes start next Thurs the 20th. Thankfully he is only taking 2 classes and the Summer semester is only for 7 weeks. So he will still have some time to relax before Fall starts.
The new job for me is still going good. Slowly starting to get a better grip on my responsibilities. This coming week I will head up to Los Angeles with my boss to get some documents legalized at two of the international consulates located up there. Something I am looking forward to doing.
This weekend was pretty nice weather wise so instead of being stuck inside the house studying or sitting out on our back patio, we decided to go relax by the pool while I read legal flash cards to Ross to help him prepare for finals. Minus the loud kids in the pool, it was a pretty relaxing afternoon (at least for me).
But Happy Mother's Day again and we hope all the Mom's had a very enjoyable day! We love and miss you all!

Finals Week
This week marks the start of finals! 5 all together. Today was the first final, the second one is on Wednesday and the last three are next week. Thankfully today was the most stressful one so now things for Ross will be a little bit easier. Still hard none the less but at least the stress level should reduce some. And then after the finals are finished, summer classes start the following week along with volunteering at various public interest centers.
This week also marks the second week at my new job. I'm still getting into the swing of things and still learning all the responsibilities I will have. After the first week, I learned that my job entails making sure any and all changes that are made follow both domestic and international regulations. On my first day, I got a tour of the entire company which includes offices as well as a manufacturing facility. This company manufactures medical devices used in cardiac surgery. Once they are made, the devices are packaged and shipped out to various distributors. I will also be working with the distributors. When these distributors, both domestic and international, contact us wanting to create a contract to do business, I make sure all the paperwork is legalized in the US to where it is recognizable and legal in these other countries. As of right now there are over 30 countries and just within the last week I was given 5 new ones that will need documents researched and legalized. I think this job is going to keep me very busy and I am going to learn a lot. A huge change from the call center atmosphere that's for sure!
