What's new?

So, it's been way to long since I wrote a blog post. I guess I should write about some highlights in my life.

My Wedding
The wedding was good. If you want pics, there are some on facebook. We had a beautiful day and everything went relatively smoothly. The food was good and there was a ton of it (7 courses). Things went so quickly, but it was nice to get to spend time with friends I haven't gotten to see much since we all left college. Jess looked beautiful coming down the aisle. Sigh. it really all went to quickly.

Work
Got to try cases in front of a judge. It was so cool. I won 3 trials and lost 1. I got to negotiate with defendants, charge people with crimes, represent the State at arraignments and write motions. Definitely the best summer job/internship ever.

School
It's been two weeks and I'm still not completely settled in. I continue to work on in the DA's Office and it's tough balancing that and school sometimes. Today I started freaking out because everyone around me very actively seeking (and some have found) jobs for after law school. I've applied for one position and didn't even get an interview. Tomorrow I'm applying for the N e w H am p shire P ub lic def end er's office. That would be a cool job and I really want to go back to NH. I also am going to call C ou nty Att or ney's Offices from around the state to see what their application procedures and schedules are, so I can get started. Otherwise I need to find a small firm that'll take someone with less than stellar grades.

Last weekend we went to Vanessa's wedding. Amber does a pretty good job of summing that up in her blog. It was a pretty ceremony.

That Saturday morning before the wedding, Jess got a call from her sister who told her that her dad had an accident with a planer. Apparently it got jammed, he turned it off and unplugged it and tired to unjam it and somehow his index finger on his right hand was ground up to the first joint. Later she found out that he was in the hospital and that he had been able to call 911 despite his injury, so she calmed down quite a bit, but it was a shock to get on a day with enough stress as it was. Aside from that, a tree fell on our friend Beth's car, totaling it and she ended up having to get a ride back to Boston with us. Jess's dad is fine now, though they couldn't reattach the piece of finger. Her dad was even joking around that now he can only count to 9 and 3/4. As far as I know, Beth still doesn't have a car.

This weekend, Jess and I are going back down to Ct. to see her friend Anne and pick out bride's maid's dresses. I will be hanging out with Anne's fiancee Stephen during this time which is cool by me, because Stephen's a cool guy and we have stuff in common. Jess is Anne's Matron of Honor (Matron and not Maid because Jess is married).

Hopefully, I start posting more often again. I don't know why I don't have more to say.
