In late May/early June I will be called to the Bar! Finally! I feel like I've been treading water here at the firm lately, with nearly all the partners away (in France, no less!) and very little work. I have started to look for my next employment opportunity &, although life is really uncertain right now (where will we live? will we get a dog? a car? both? neither? and what about my gym?) it's also really exciting.
I can't get over how good life is, how exciting it is, how lucky I am! Monster & I went on a real date downtown at one of the fancier restaurants I've been eying for awhile. Here we are, in this city we love, having lived smack in the middle of downtown for a year and a half, ten months after graduating law school, with the Bar exams behind me and newly-found friends in the industry helping me look for work. I am running a mini-mini marathon with some of my sisters this weekend (I slightly injured myself while training for it, so I will probably be walking this one) and then a mini-marathon with my dad and more sisters in May. And I get to hang out with my adorable, sassy little nieces this weekend!
Gah! Life is so fun, and I am so lucky!
