Summer in Seattle

Time flies! I can't believe how quickly the end of the semester, finals, an awesome visit from my mom, a trek to Seattle and the first five weeks of my summer job have gone! It seems I am always playing catch-up with this blog. The end of school went as well as could be expected; it was busy, busy, busy! My mom came to visit the Saturday after finals ended, and we had a great time. We went to David's Bridal and tried on dresses with Maisha, it was a fun time.




Then we went to New York and got fabric for my wedding dress! I am very excited, it will be awesome. We met up with Nick and Kayt for dinner, and then took the bus back to Philadelphia. We visited the fabric district in Philly, too. Mom helped me get ready for the summer in Seattle, and we had a great time gallivanting around Philadelphia. The week went too fast, as usual.

After mom went back to Bozeman, Gordon and I packed up and left for Seattle. We got a direct flight from Philadelphia to Seattle and were picked up at the airport by a friend of a friend. The place I am staying is great, right near the bus with a big yard and lots of flowering bushes. Gordon took a while to warm up to Moose, my roommate's dog. They now seem to get along pretty well. Gordon has realized that Moose doesn't want to hurt him and tolerates him most of the time. Gordon has been going outside and exploring the neighborhood. I think he is enjoying his summer.

I am already halfway through my summer at Lane Powell. The attorneys I work with are great, the work has been really interesting, and I am having a wonderful time. I've been working on all different types of issues, mostly relating to litigation. I've even played on the firm softball team a few times. I am not good, but I try, and they don't hold my lack of sporting ability against me :) On Tuesday we are taking a trip to the Portland office to visit the attorneys there. It should be a lot of fun.

I am looking forward to the next five weeks of work and to heading back to Bozeman to visit for a few weeks. I am going to meet Christina, Erin and David's daughter! Mom and I will do some wedding planning, and then it'll be back to Philadelphia for my third and final year of law school (!) I hope I get another update posted before then, but given my past record, I am not making any promises.
