Barristers' Banquet 2010

This last Friday was Barristers' Banquet again! I can't believe it was almost a year between my blog posts. (I'm sorry!)

We went over to my friend Ivette's house to get ready. I'd like to thank my wonderful friends Margo, Cindy, and Candace for helping transform Ivette and me.

It was a long process! First, Margo straightened my hair.

Then Cindy curled it while Margo did Ivette's make-up and Candace pinned Ivette's hair up.

Margo did my make-up.

We went out to Ivette's front yard to take pictures. It felt like prom! :0)

Ivette and her husband John.

Ivette, Brittney, Me, and Tara at the Banquet. We got there late so we didn't get many pictures with people this year.

Keeping with tradition we went to Ivette's house afterward and took more pictures.

This might look a little familiar if you look about 3 posts back! :0)

Overall, it was a great time!

Easter 2010

I'm sorry I haven't written for so long! Law school has a way of making time fly and taking up all of that rapidly moving time!

These are pictures of my Easter Break in Kentucky. My friend Cindy and I went home with our friend Candace to Versailles, KY (near Lexington).

On Saturday we went to Lexington and ate at the Pub. It's supposed to be an authentic British Pub. (No there was no drinking involved!) They have amazing fish and chips!

This is Cindy and I in front of the Pub.

Carlyn (Candace's sister), Candace, Cindy, and me at lunch.



This was a chair in the entryway of the Pub. I thought it was pretty awesome just sitting there so I had to take a picture. (BTW this is what my new haircut looks when my hair is straight.)

I went to my first Kentucky Horse Race at Keeneland. It was awesome! (No, I didn't bet.) We got to stand up against the rail right at the finish line!

This is us in front of the track.

This is us in front of the grandstands. If you look closely above my head you can see some women with little white parasols.

And they're off!

Here they come down the final stretch!

We spent Sunday at Candace's grandparent's house for Easter. We went to the little church there that her parents grew up in.

Candace said I looked like a mime in my white gloves so I posed for her.

Everyone all dressed up for Easter.

More Easter Dress Pictures

The Easter Bunny (aka Candace's mom) got us all baskets! It was a lot of fun! I was so excited because I got a PedEgg! I've wanted one for a long time!

That's all for Easter Break!

I'll try to keep you posted with more pictures of all of my adventures!

P.S. I'm super excited because I realized today that there is a lilac bush at the back of my house!!! I could smell the lilacs!!!! I love that smell!!!!!

I'm Back!

Hello all! I'm at my sister's house and don't have any pictures to post so I'm just writing for now. I'm sorry I haven't written in so long! I have been super busy! I'm now officially half way done with law school!!!! Yay!!! Hopefully when I get settled back in school and have high speed internet again I will have some pictures and more to tell. God Bless!

Barristers' Banquet 2009

You may be wondering, "What is Barristers'?" Barrister is a fancy word for lawyer. The Barristers' Banquet is a formal Banquet that the law school puts on every year.

The following two are pictures that I took when I got home before I took my hairdown.

Margo and Candace helped me get ready for the event by doing my hair and makeup!

Thanks Guys!!


I went with my friend Ivette and some others. They are from left:
Matthew, Amanda, Yours Truly, Ivette, and her husband John.

The girls!

The event was held in an open warehouse below Amazement Square. Amazement Square is an interactive children's museum and it's awesome!! I want to go sometime when I'm not all dressed up and my feet aren't killing me! ;0)

Inside the Museum: Ivette, Me, Mary, and Britney.

At our table.

John, Ivette, Me, Spencer, Megan, Two 3L girls I don't know, Professor Hesch (my Civil Procedures Teacher), and Mrs. Hesch.

Me, Mrs. Tuomala (she works in the admissions office), and Ivette.

Mark (He was my pretend client for client interviews last semester), Me, and John.

John (different John) and I. John is from Oregon too!

After it was over we went to Ivette's house and took some more pictures inside.

I hope you've enjoyed this trip into the life of a lawyer! (OK, future lawyer!!!) ;0)

Spring Break 2009 - North Carolina

For Spring Break this year I went home with my friend Margo to North Carolina. Here is a pictoral view of my adventures!!!

We went to the Outer Banks and stayed at her aunt's house in Nags Head. This picture is of me and the Alligator River on the way to the beach!! I was so excited to finally see the Atlantic Ocean!!! I had been wanting to since I went to DC last spring!

Here is my first view of the Atlantic Ocean!!!!!!!



I finally stepped foot in the Atlantic!




Here's proof that I actually stepped foot in it!

This is where Brad Paisley taped his video for the song "Waiting on a Woman" with Andy Griffith!

Nags Head is right next to Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk. This is the Wright Brothers Memorial.

They were filming Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in Jamesville (which is where Margo lives) while we were there!!!

For the fans of the show, the guy in the window in the white hard hat and black shirt is Michael!

I caught Paige in her pink hard hat!

They still had to do a lot of work on the house the day of the revealing!!! Here is them putting on the finishing touches.

The limo got stuck in the mud!!!! It was so funny! Margo said, "Only in Jamesville!"

Here is the finished house. The family didn't get to come home until it was pretty dark. I don't think we got in any of the camera shots but if you listen real closely our voices will be in the crowd shouting, "Move that Bus!!!!"

Here's a shot of Margo's house. I love the porch and the bay window!!!!

Here's me and Margo's parents!
