Welcome Home Car!!

After almost 5 weeks and a lot of phone calls, we finally got my car back. Thankfully things weren't too bad with just one car, but it does make going to work and school a lot easier when we each have our own transportation. But since it has been 3 weeks since I lasted posted anything, I have some catching up to do on what's been going on.

Last time I posted Ross had his tryout for Trial Advocacy. He found out the following week that he was one of 20 people that made it on the team. There were a total of 50 people who tried out and they only took 20. So that was really exciting! And now that he is part of Trial Advocacy, that means more time at the school. But this is something he was really wanting to be apart of to help build skills and experience. Law Review is still going well. This past week he finished the first part of his article which was creating his outline. And as for classes, the first midterm is next week so the heavy studying has begun.

As for fun stuff, a couple weekends ago we went to our first movie premier in Los Angeles. One of the ladies Ross goes to school with did stunt work and small acting parts before going to law school. Well this is a B rated movie so it was nothing like the red carpet in Hollywood and it was something that was completed in 2008. She had a small speaking part that lasted about 5 mins but it was still fun to go to. There were 20 of us total that went and we all rode in a limo to the premier and then we went to a night club in Santa Monica for a few hours. Even though neither of us are really into the club scene, we still had a good time.

The following weekend we enjoyed a campfire/bonfire on the beach with a group of friends from school. That was a lot of fun....roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over the open fire on the beach listening to the ocean in the background. The last time we were around a campfire was in the mountains back in Colorado.

So September was a packed month. Now we are moving on to October which means my birthday, Halloween, the start of the holidays, and another visit from the family! Mom and Dad, and Shaun and Amanda are making another trip out to see us....this time together. They will be here the weekend of the 23. So we are looking forward to seeing them again. This time we plan on spending a day in Disneyland and then we are all hiking to the Hollywood sign. Can't wait, it's gonna be a lot of fun!
