Barrister's Ball...

We went to Barristers ball last weekend...which was so much fun!  It is basically prom for the Law students..kind of funny.  We got to have a great fancy kidless dinner with great friends.

Womacks, Woods, Wilborns and Hartmans

Don't know what I'm going to do when this lady leaves me in May.  
Love you Nat :(


The theme for the night was "Kentucky Derby".  How cute does Jodi look? I was wishing I had a big fun hat all night!!

Hope and Jamie.  Jamie (on the right) will be moving to AZ after Law School and I could not be happier!! Her kids are the same ages as my kids...we love their family so much!!

So, some of you know that we were trying to transfer to ASU for Noah's last semester.  We just found out the Immigration clinic that Noah wanted to take is not being offered this next Fall semester...super bummer.  So with that and a few other things we have decided it would be better to stay and finish here in December. We both feel really good about staying actually.  I'm excited to have more beach time this summer!!

Say what??

Why does my weather tracker say we are in the 30's again???  I swear it's almost April! 
We had a little taste of Spring last week....please come back to stay!!!

Visitors from the WEST...

 May parents came to visit a couple weeks ago.  Since we just saw everyone in December we were not expecting any visitors for a while but we were pleasantly surprised when they told us they were coming!! We planned a jam packed schedule for them since we didn't really do much last time they were here.
 Straight from picking them up from the airport we headed straight up to DC to spend a couple days. You really could go there every weekend and see something new!
 The Capitol.  My favorite part of the whole DC trip.  We got to do a tour of inside the Capitol...super sweet! It was like being right back in Social Studies learning about the House and the Senate. There is an imaginary line in the middle of the Capitol that they literally do not ever cross. Crazy!!


 This is the inside the top of the dome...this is also the room where Presidents who have died lay and people come and pay their respects before they get buried.


Supreme Court...Noah's fav.
Museum of Natural History (Night of the Museum!)

 Our niece mailed us a Flat Stanly to take pictures with for her class project.  He made it all the way to the Lincoln memorial!


 The view of DC from Arlington Cemetery.



 Next on the agenda was Williamsburg.  
We walked through the Colonial Williamsburg, ate at the yummy Cheese Shop, drove through William and Mary, went to The Christmas Mouse store, and shopped at the Outlets...all in one day!!

This is out of order but we drove by the DC Temple so my Mom and kids could see it for the first time.  Amazing as usual.  It would have been great to go in if we had more time.
My Dad had been wanting southern fried chicken all weekend so we ended our trip with a yummy but seriously greasy need to take a shower now dinner.
I'm so thankful my parents could come see us and love that they took time out of their busy schedules for us. It meant a lot!!!

4 weeks and counting...

No Diet Coke for 4 weeks (or any caffeine)! I knew I needed a break when I would wake up thinking about Diet Coke. I still get head aches here and there but overall it's really not so bad. We'll see how long it last!
