So I have spent the last few months in Utah working at this rocking customer service job so I can help support my husbando while he finished school. No, husbando is not a typo; it was intentional.
I have learned a lot about real estate investing...mostly that I wouldn't do it unless I had a lot of money to spend...and I have learned a lot about business and taking responsibility for your actions. I have a few friendly clients that are not quite sure how they feel about signing contracts and then being responsible for properties they own.
Mainly, I am excited to go back to Arizona and start law school again. I miss reading through boring case materials and trying to stay entertained in class. I feel motivated again to work hard and get better grades. Most importantly, I just want to get a better education and finish school and be able to start working and getting on with my grown up life. Before then, though there is wonderful Christmas and I love life and Christmas music and cookies and fudge and Christmas shopping!! Happy Holidays!

Giving up Provo All-Stardom
So for a long time I thought that I would be a Provo all-star for a very loooong time....but then I failed for a few different reasons.
First of all, I kept leaving Provo. You can't be a Provo all-star if you don't even live here. I lived in Guatemala, and then I moved to Arizona to go to law school.
Don't worry, though, I still kept tabs in Provo. I visited when I had school vacations and I decided to date another fellow all-star up here. But then that leads to my next fail in Provo all-stardom.
I got married.
Ouch.
Yeah I pretty much failed when I met Paul. My commitment issues and freak-out tendencies were no match for his good-looks and charming personality. He pretty much swept me off my feet. I decided that I would give up my life-long dream of being an all-star and take the ultimate plunge...and I have not regretted it since. The boy makes my life fantastic. I also wanted to post some pictures of our wedding/reception. It was a blast....some of my very closest girlfriends and all of my family were able to make it to the event. It was probably the best day of my life thus far...except for the day that I found out I was incredibly talented and good-looking.
Don't worry, though, I'm back in Provo again living the dream, but I live with a boy now and we go to church with a bunch of married folk. It's definitely different from the single scene, but still fun.
I've taken a break from law school for the semester so Paul can finish up his degree, and then back to Arizona we go so we can burn our pasty white skin to a crisp. I miss the weather, only slightly, but it's been beautiful since we've been back in Provo. I think Provo missed me and is trying to get me to stay here. Sorry my love, I have to grow up now. Thanks for the memories. I can't wait for what my next adventure will be.

Reasons Why I Love Law School
1. Random comments: say what? So our class topic today was about hunting wild animals and when you can actually claim them as property. One of the cases talked about this guy that was hunting a fox and right before he caught it, someone else swooped in and killed the fox instead. So then, this guy raises his hand and starts talking about how hard it is to catch a fox...where in the heck did that come from? Well apparantly foxes can jump five feet into the air. They can also clear entire classrooms if they want. Just in case you needed to know...
2. The cases: Oh yes. The next case was about how a guy owned a pond that he would try to catch ducks in. His neighbor apparently didn't want him to have the ducks anymore so the neighbor sat on the other guy's property and would should his gun off just to scare the ducks away. I got a pretty good image out of this one.
3. The passionate opinions of my classmates: They are hilarious. There was a meeting today about healthcare reform and the guy sitting next to me was getting all worked up. The speaker was very clearly a democrat and in support of the health care bill...so instead of talking about the actual healthcare bill she spent the whole time talking about how we could get it passed. I'm assuming that the guy next to me does not support the health care bill...He couldn't stop talking about it. Then he left early. I was highly entertained about how worked up he got about it. This is my opinion about politics: We elect officials and then from there the decisions are out of our hands. If we want to have decisions made right, we should be electing officials we agree with. There is no point in crying over spilled milk.
