Today is my law. school. GRADUATION! Law school was something I’d always wanted to do so I decided to go straight from undergrad so as to not “waste” any time. Cheers to staying motivated and sticking to my goals!

Tomorrow I begin my review course. Wish me luck! I might not be around blogland as much but I will try my best to! ***If anyone is interested in guest posting during the summer PLEASE let me know!!! post signature

Memorial Day

Filed Under: Uncategorized // May 27, 2013

Timmy and I have been fortunate enough to spend each Memorial Day together thus far. I am always thankful for the service of our brave men and women who’ve served and especially those who gave their all while doing so. Today I squeeze Tim extra tight because I am so very grateful for him, as well. Our Summer 2011 trip to the Arlington National Cemetery was eye-opening for us as we read tombstones and sat through the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns. I highly recommend a visit there.

“It’s compromise that moves us along”– Maroon 5, She Will Be Loved

Singing to each other on the dance floor at my 23rd birthday celebration While my and Tim’s relationship might seem to be picture-perfect, it’s most definitely not. Because neither of us are perfect. We’re human. We have disagreements & arguments. We have “tiffs” – what I refer to as “annoyances.” But it works for us. I think disagreements keep our relationship healthy, honestly. I don’t know if every relationship has them – maybe there are those that don’t, not that it matters to us really- but I couldn’t imagine our relationship being based on 100% similarities. Actually, a huge part of why I love Tim is because he is different than me in some aspects. Now, I’m not saying we have these all the time because they’re pretty rare. Also, though distance plays a part in some, I think there will always be little issues we’ll have to confront as we grow old together. The important thing is that nothing we disagree over is not fixable or so important that it drives up apart and that our love remain bigger than all of it. Looking back so far, I’m proud of all we’ve overcome together.

“Good relationships balance over time. This means that at any particular point in time, the relationship may appear quite unbalanced: One partner may be more nurturing; one may be more needy; one may be providing all the financial support, etc. But if both partners are loving, understanding, giving, dedicated and flexible, then the relationship can handle all kinds of ups and downs, and still be strong, exciting and, yes, romantic. The best relationships are well balanced. Not a delicate balance; not a static balance- but a dynamic ever-changing balance.” — Gregory Godek post signature

Quarter-life Crisis: Averted!

Filed Under: positivity // May 20, 2013

I’d recently been feeling the onsets on a quarter-life crisis. Family and friends would call me crazy for feeling as though I haven’t accomplished much just as I am about to graduate law school. Is law school a great accomplishment? Of course. Should I be proud? Certainly. And I am. I did not even think I could get into school let alone a great school. BUT I could not shake the feeling that graduating without an employment and life plan would render my accomplishment null and void. Time and time again I’d question if I’m good enough or have what it takes if no job, especially THE job I wanted, seemingly wanted to hire me. Well, here I am to tell you that life has been nothing short of amazing lately. God is great. I think I’m still in shock and trying to be cautious. I’ve always been a person who tries to keep things in perspective so I try not to be “overhappy” or overjoyed of fear that something will fall out of place. Nevertheless, I am very excited beyond words to share the news that has averted my crisis! It looks like I’m EMPLOYED with my DREAM job and just might be MOVING this year … !

Which also allows me extra time in Hawaii this summer/fall:

AND enables me to move my baby brother into college 🙂

My and Tim’s relationship is just 1/3 away from being a civilian, or at least non-active duty, relationship!

& speaking of Tim, he’s HERE … talk about excitement overload! We have much to celebrate 🙂
