The Highlight of Our Summers

Since summer has arrived for most of you, (we've been doing summer since March) Much like the rest of you, we're looking forward to upcoming vacations, possible camping trips, and family reunions.
But unlike most of you, we're also gearing up for what seems to be our yearly bar exam. With two states down, Boo has gotten into the study rhythm with his outlines and BarBri books. Oh how we would love to burn that large pile of maroon and gold books, but the resale value is too great. Starting in a couple of weeks, he'll be holed up in a remote location like the library, home office or any other place he can find that doesn't involve potty training and nap times, combing through criminal and constitutional law, estates, and torts. As he gets into his routine, that is when Noelle and I make a mad dash for greener pastures. No, really it will be greener than Arizona. We'll make our yearly pilgrimage to see grandparents and Auntie and all other kinds of family, spending an extended period figuring out what to do with ourselves while they all go on with their day to day lives and work schedules. We'll enjoy Pioneer Day for what its worth and take in some fireworks and seeing friends we might not have crossed paths with otherwise. We look forward to seeing family, but also look forward to being done with the bar, hopefully forever.
