Our cute little firm

This is a picture from last night at the Las Vegas 51's baseball game. Tyler (my partner) and his family, and our wonderful (Queen of awesomeness) paralegal and two of her kids. So fun! I love memories like this.

update!

It has been a long time! But, Tyler and I have been up to our eyeballs in work. We were blessed with wins for our August trial and our 3 week trial that just ended. I finally feel (today) like I have recuperated. It took a day of sleeping and staying in bed to do it, though.

Every time I go to blog, I stop writing what my heart honestly wants to say. It feels like it is too vulnerable of a place! My life is good. I am happy and Chad is happy. We are blessed and I am going to tuck my sweet little one into bed and say our prayers of thanks. Here are a few pics from our recent trip!

Testimony of the Book of Mormon

Bee happy!

That's my comment for today. I had a friend who called me heartbroken because his girlfriend broke up with him, and I am thankful my heart is whole. I know of girlfriend going through hell because her 2 year old was molested by her dad, my son is safe. I had a client telling me how thankful he was for part-time work, I have a full-time job. I may be counting calories, which means I am eating and have plenty. Sometimes we gripe about exercising, but I can walk and run and frolick because I am not paralyzed! Gas prices high? You have a car, congratulations! Upset about the wind? You can go indoors, unlike those in a tent city. We are so blessed. Bee happy!

Just a little humor...

Background information: every time I pick up my son from his dad's for church he has not brushed his teeth. Hello, this is so frustrating on many levels, but I digress... We didn't have time for me to turn around for him to brush his teeth, and I finally responded yesterday to it all with a mild fury while we were driving to church. Here is a conversation with my son from yesterday in Sacrament Meeting after feeling bad about the contention and my humorous effort at trying to resolve it:

Me: I am sorry that I got so mad about it. I should have been mad, but not so mad.
Son: I am sorry that I forgot again.
Me: You should be so sorry, not just sorry, and I should not be so mad, just regular mad.

Anyone else cracking up like I was/am?

Progress!

I have been soooo frustrated because the blog wouldn't let me change my header picture. I had to search the web for a solution and risk losing the blog altogether to do it. But, I had success, and I am STOKED! I love doing things that are hard for me and a risk. Silly to think of this as a risk, but computers are sometimes a mystery!

I have been doing the "Ladies Olympic Challenge" (see www.ladiesolympicchallenge.blogspot.com) for the last 2 months and I am excited about it! I love the positive reward for doing it, and if any of you want to join, let me know! We are starting our next 5 days on/weekend off one tomorrow, March 22nd. If you can't find a partner, let me know. We did 2 that were 3 weeks on, 1 week off, and then this is our second round of 5 days on/weekend off. I like this one better.
