Travels To The West Side

Last weekend Reid and I decided to venture over to Seattle for a little get-away. This was probably the last chance we will have to be out there for a fun (non-work related in Tara's case) trip. We were able to do some shopping at the outlets, try a new brewery (Pikes Brewery), hike in Discovery Park, and catch up over lunch with a highschool friend. Even though the weather was a bit scary driving out there, we had a great trip and a much needed get-away.

Not So Sunny, But Still Beautiful California



Reid recently went to San Francisco, CA to participate in the Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court compeition. His team spent a lot of time preparing a written brief to submit as well as prepping for oral arguments. They are happy to report that their brief won first place in their division! Congratulations guys!!

After the competition, Reid drove down to Monterey to stay with Tara's cousin Erinn. Erinn was running a 5K the following morning and Reid decided to join, and do the 10K. Good work Reido!!



"No wonder California has such happy cows."

 Now that Reid is finally done with all the preparation for moot court competition he finally has a bit more free time...I saw a bit more because now the time will be spent preparing for the Patent Bar Exam and prepariang his application for the Colorado State Bar. So close but it still feels so far away.

Full of Surprises!

Last weekend I was able to go back home and surprise my friend Stephanie for her baby shower! She had NO idea and it was wonderful to see her. I was also able to catch up with a few other friends and have dinner with my grandma and aunt and uncle. It was a short, fun-filled weekend! While Tara was away, Reid judged a debate tournament at a local high school. Even though it was an all-day event, he was thoroughly entertained by some of the topics during the improv section. His favorite: Who is the original gangster...Teddy Roosevelt!

In other news Reid and I have a fun announcement to make...we have thought and thought and decided to follow our hearts. After graduation in May, we will be moving to Colorado!! While we both love the Northwest, Colorado is much closer to family and friends and it has always been one of Reid's dreams to go back there. Come on May :)
