San Diego, CA...

I just returned to Cincinnati, after attending the national Child Life Conference in San Diego, CA. I had never been to California before and as luck would have it, it was freezing. It was low 60's, overcast and windy the entire time I was there. (And of course, Cincinnati weather was gorgeous, sunny and in the 70's). We still managed to have a good time though. I enjoy spending time with most of my co-workers and on Friday night a large group of us went to Coronado Island for dinner. It was fun getting to put our feet in the Pacific Ocean. You could see Mexico from this island, which was cool for me since I have never been there. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see too much of the San Diego area since I was only in town for 4 days and most of that time was spent at the conference. I would love to take another trip to southern California sometime in the future. I just hope it is warmer next time.

Northwestern Law Class of 2008...

Dave is a lawyer! Three long years of commuting back and forth to Chicago and living on one salary while paying our house payment and Chicago rent are finally over... I am ecstatic! Graduation was this past Friday and it was actually a lot nicer than I was expecting. In the picture, Dave is in the middle in front of the photographer. As much as I am glad that these years are behind us, I do have to admit that I will miss Chicago. Chicago has been such a big part of our lives. Dave and I enjoyed our home away from home in Lakeview - well, the neighborhood, not the apartment. It is also the city in which we were married and spent our first week as a married couple. I have wonderful memories of the time Dave and I spent together in Chicago and the city will always have a special place in our heart. For now though, I am happy to have my husband officially home with me and now he focuses on passing the Ohio bar. It's going to be a long summer.
