A lot of things have happened in a YEAR... Oops.


Lets see... I haven't posted in about 11 months. Whoops. I'll give you a quick and dirty update with more details to follow. Lets see...

May 27, 2010 - I graduated from Washington and Lee
Packed my bags (with a lot of help from the fam!), and left lovely Lex Vegas


That summer I played the boomerang child until we left for Cambodia and Vietnam for the month of July. The trip was amazing, but I have never been so sweaty.

The one and only Angkor Wat, complete with scaffolding!

Ha Long can we keep the puns up?!
(My sister gets the credit for that one. You can find her blog here:http://eternalsummers.blogspot.com/)

August 11th, I packed my bags an headed to law school in Philadelphia.

Mommy in Love Park. MWAH!

A few weeks later in between Contracts, Torts and Crim, I found myself back in Lexington for Homecoming. I was in for a surprise!


October 9, 2010 in the beautiful Blueridge Mountains, Kevin and I got engaged!

Its been a wonderful and amazing year. Hopefully I'll post soon. I have my first law school final Tuesday. Wish me luck!

I'm a bad blogger.



So its been over a month since my last post, but I have excuses! First, a month long Christmas Break, then my last Rush Week. For those of you that don't know, I'm in Pi Phi, a national sorority that has a chapter at Washington and Lee. Anyway, as a senior I'm being phased out from my old office so I have lots of free time.. Yay! I'll try and use all this new time to post more often!


So let me explain about my family Christmas tradition. We don't do presents. Well not really. Instead we all go down to the Bahamas and have some much needed relaxation and a little family togetherness. Its not as cheesy as it sounds, actually it gets pretty cutthroat with vicious board games and the annual flipper race. The flipper race is exactly what it sounds like... sprints in flippers.




This year we also played a game of capture the flag which is rough when each side only has two people, you're running in sand and through sand burrs. Kevin and I were victorious but Andi and Jeff dispute the win.



This was also Kevin's first trip down to Long Island. He loved it and even spotted a shark while we were out swimming. Andi and Jeff passed their first underwater digital camera on to me and I was lucky enough to spot this little guy:

It's a baby triggerfish living in an abandoned conch shell. I love how bright the stripes are on him! We also saw some octopus, lots of sea turtles and plenty of lion fish. Lion fish in the Bahamas are an invasive species so you're supposed to kill them when you find them... Personally, I don't want to mess with the spines.


I'm not sure what my favorite part of the trip was... Probably getting my LSAT score back while sipping a Guinness at Max Conch's Bar, listening to Christmas carols and eating conch fritters. It was a great trip.
