New Year

So the new year is coming up quick. I can't believe it's going to be 2008. When did time start to go by so quick? As of January 1, I can say "Next year I'll be a lawyer." That's crazy! Also, as of today I'm half way done with law school (presuming I pass all of my classes). My papers are in, my finals are taken, and my brain is dead.

Dave and I are leaving Sunday for his grandparent's in Modesto. We're going to spend a few days there with the *entire* family. I'm really looking forward to it. Dave's family tends to be pretty welcoming, even though we have different points of view on a lot of things. Then I leave Modesto on the 26th to head to Phoenix. I'll be there having Christmas again on the 27th and catching up with a lot of friends for sure. Then I head back to Seattle on the 31st. Until recently I didn't really realize how short of time I'm going to end up being in Phoenix. It's kind of sad, but since school ended so late this year, travel got all screwy.

Plus, since Dave and I got Lola I really don't want to be gone too long. Sadly, I'm sure I'm going to miss her like crazy. I mean I won't have a little cuddlebug to sleep with me all of the time.

Ohhh for Christmas Dave got me a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. Since he's working nights until we leave for Christmas, he told me yesterday morning he was going into work for a couple of hours and would probably be home by the time I was leaving for school. When I woke up he was home and told me he got me something from McDonalds. I jumped in the shower and when I got out, I went to the kitchen to get what I thought was one of McDonald's new burrito. To my surprise, there was actually a jewelry box with a bow on it in the bag. I was so excited and really gave me motivation to get through studying for community property yesterday. I'm so excited to put them in.
