So it has officially been over 4 months since I last posted on this website and so much has happened that I don’t even know where to begin.
Ross ended his second year in the top 3% of his class…again, which means he was awarded another full tuition scholarship! This year he has quite a full schedule. He is on the honors board for Law Review as an Executive Editor. He is also on the honors board for Trial Advocacy as the Treasurer. He is also a member of Trial Advocacy and will be competing in San Diego October 13-15. And he is the President of the Criminal Law Society. In addition to be involved in all the above groups, he has two other classes he attends. So needless to say he is busy again this year. Once the competition is over, his time will free up a lot more. And this summer Ross got a lot of court room experience thanks to his externship at the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Besides school, we were actually able to take a few small trips or mini-vacations. In June we did a super quick trip out to Las Vegas to see Shaun and Amanda. Our entire trip ended up costing us $40 thanks to my luck on a slot machine. In August we came home to Colorado to celebrate a cousin’s wedding. Even though it was a short 3-day trip, we still had fun seeing family. The following weekend we headed back to Las Vegas to celebrate Aileen’s birthday. This time I wasn’t so lucky, but we still had fun.
Once we got back from our last mini-vacation, things changed for us. Ross started his last year of school and that same week I was laid off from work. As disastrous as I thought it was, it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I was unemployed for about 2 weeks and had already made plans) to go back home to Colorado for 3 weeks (per Ross’ suggestion). However, those plans were quickly changes when I was offered a job with a start date in a little over a week. Thankfully I was able to find a last minute flight home and I spent an entire week in Colorado catching up with friends and spending some time family. Unfortunately I had to do this trip solo as Ross was busy with school and getting ready for the Trial Advocacy competition.
So now we are finally to the present and I have spent my first week at my new job. Right now it’s hard to gage and explain what it is I really do considering it’s only been one week and things are still being worked out. But so far I have no complaints, maybe except for the commute. Going from 5 minutes to 30 minutes is a change. But I’ll get used to it.
Hope this is a good summary of the last 4 months. If you’re wondering about the potty training deal with the cats, we had to start over because one of them is a little stubborn. But so far things are going good.
I’ll post a few pictures from our two trips to Las Vegas, the wedding in Colorado as well as my week stay back at home. Enjoy!
