I guess it is time for an update....

I am halfway done with law school! That is probably the most exciting thing I can say about this past semester. Law school has not gotten easier but it has become bearable. Bearable with the help of my law school besties and our shenanigans in the study rooms, They say it is all down hill from now..I can only hope so.

Steven and I went on a ski trip with his family to Breckenridge over the break. It was a blasty blast. Christmas was interesting, fun, and reminded me for the 24th time how amazing my family is.

My birthday is mushed somewhere in there and I am now 24...ughh not too exciting.

2010 you have been crazy but I survived and am ready for 2011...sooner 2011 gets here the sooner 2012 gets here which means I will be done with school finally!

And that sums up my life over the past couple of months..yes I know not very exciting but o well.

Im Back

Hello fellow bloggers....I am back from my trip to Philly and had a fabulous time. I went to Philly to visit my old college roommate and best friend Maura and we had not seen each other for over a year...when I got there and saw her it seemed like only yesterday that we said our goodbyes in College Station. It is crazy...out of all my friends from college I talk to Maura the most....and she is the one that lives the farthest away. It just shows you that distance doesn't matter...if a friendship is important it will stay alive. She is doing wonderful and I had such a great time catching up with her. I felt like we were in college again.

Laughing is the Best Medicine

I am surviving. Surviving my internship, surviving law school (I didnt fail out my first year...AWESOME....so I guess that means they want me back....), surviving everyday life, and in the meantime trying to improve myself. I believe that each day God gives us a second chance. A second chance at making things right, a second chance at improving yourself, a second chance to smile, say you are sorry, or make a difference.

In the meantime...you will find me laughing and smiling...at least trying to..

To help me on this journey....I have found funny Anne Taintor works of art as I like to call them....why dont you try laughing today!

Hump Day

This has been a long week already and it is only WEDNESDAY! I blame it on the fact that last week was only four days and therefore my mind is wired for four day weeks. Today was a long day at the courthouse...not to much going on so I was stuck in the meat locker working on a draft opinion. The more and more I work on it the more it becomes a monster. A monster that I do not know how to tame. I almost think it is some sick joke from the law gods because this one task consists of, but not limited to, the DTPA, ripeness, standing, Rule 12 and ERIE AND HANNAH!!! It is Civil Procedure class on crack I tell ya. I am slowly trying to muddle my way through it just to survive.

Other than that nothing to exciting going on...just working and hanging out.

Check this out...I thought it was hilarious...and described internships perfectly....found it on Above the Law....

Another weekend has come and gone...

For the past two weekend I have been going non-stop. This weekend Steven and I went to an engagement party for his sister and her fiance. I met some of the other bridesmaids and talked and talked about wedding stuff. Then Saturday, Steven and I helped Kristen and Bryan move out of her apartment along with Mr. and Mrs. Leverett. It was a lot of family bonding time but I wanted to be there since I knew I would not be have the chance to spend time like that with Kristen and Bryan in the near future. They are moving to North Carolina and she is starting her 5 year residency program. I am going to miss having them in Houston so much. Steven, Kristen, Bryan and I always have such a fun time together. We get all get along pretty well and seem to always have fun together. Not having them in Houston is going to be a major adjustment. I am very happy for them though and understand that life and plans are always changing.

Topic Change:

I am starting my fourth week at the courthouse and can not believe how time is flying by. It is crazy to me that after this week I will only have two weeks left here. I have enjoyed it so much and love seeing and learning new things each and every day. This has been by far one of the best decisions and opportunities I have made. Not only will this help my resume but I have learned so much here.

Also, last night I went to a recital to watch the girls I used to babysit dance and I was almost brought to tears seeing how grown up they have become. I feel like it was only yesterday I was feeding one with a bottle and now she is going to be in 6th grade. As much as I want the next two years of law school to fly by I am starting to realize I should not take this time for granted. I need to savor each minute and be thankful for the right now rather than wishing the next two years would fly by.

Side Side Note....I love the this Anne Taintor picture.....definately describes a certain aspect of my personality

SATC 2

So last night I saw Sex and the City 2 with my sister. It was like I was a little girl on Christmas morning unwrapping gifts. I have been waiting for this movie to come out.....O since last year. During finals I would watch the preview over and over again and think to myself..."if I can just get through finals...Sex and the City will be waiting for me on the other side." And it was.

Although the reviews are not that great and the critics are picking a part the film to death I really liked and enjoyed it. It will never be an Oscar nominated movie but that is not the point of Sex and the City. The point of Sex and the City for me is to escape from everyday life and be immersed in extravagant fashion, food, and fun.....and be reminded of how important your girlfriends are.

So last night for a little of two hours I escaped from work, school, and the everyday simple life I lead and was swept away on a magic carpet into the glamorous lives of four NYC girls. My favorite part of Sex and the City is the fashion. Fashion director, Patricia Fields, is never afraid to take risks. Each episode of Sex and the City featured outlandish outfits and the movies are no different. But the point isnt to be practical it is to take fashion and push it over the edge. And that is what you get. The clothes that the characters wear in this movie are gorgeus!


So today I am trying to channel my inner Carrie Bradshaw by wearing my cute red sandal heels and a cute dress. Bring some life to the courthouse....and be daring just like Carrie is with her waredrobe.
