I'm Back!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything, but I spent last week in San Francisco for a law school thing (and got to see Elaine, which was quite nice :-)), and since the internet connection at the hotel was pretty bad, I was a terrible person and neglected my blog.

But, updates on my life: well...very little is new. I'm finishing up my paralegal work (my last day is August 15th), and will be packing up my stuff to move to Michigan on the 20th, which I'm quite excited about. I've then got a few days of settling in time before Orientation, which starts something like August 27th, and then eventually classes begin the first week of September. I've of course been told by many past and current law students that going to school will consume my entire life and that I'll have little if any time for anything else (last week someone actually said I should set up automatic bill pay for everything since I won't have the 10 minutes/month to pay my bills. Riiiiight), but I'm pretty sure I'll squeeze in a few minutes every now and then for the important stuff, like updating my blog.

Carson City!

Elaine and I took a trip down to Carson City this weekend, and of course she took a bunch of pictures. I'm getting them up before she does so I can accuse her of copying me. :-)

The giant miner guy at the candy store we HAD to stop at BOTH there and back.
I know what you're thinking: yes, Elaine is that tiny.


The State Capitol, which used to be where the legislature met, but is now pretty much the Governor's office.


This is the view from about halfway along the walkway to the Capitol. You can see the gate and, across the street, the office of Nevada's Attorney General.


Elaine looking important (and maybe a little awkward?) in the old Assembly Chambers


Me, looking less important (and definitely awkward) in the old Supreme Court Chambers



The new Supreme Court building


The USS Reno, also known as the Mighty R!


Mammoths > me and >>> Elaine


Elaine at the Governor's mansion. I can't believe they don't have any security beyond a camera by the entry and a metal chain across the path to the front door (that tiny thing right behind her). I feel like the terrorists are winning in Nevada.


Really good picture of the mansion again (good work, Oscar!)
