About me:
I'm living just outside of San Francisco, where I wake up to views of the SF skyline and the Golden Gate Bridge, and go to sleep after watching some of the most incredible sunsets only God could create. I just passed the California Bar and expect that bigger and better things will soon come my way! I am helping my sexy man prepare his big sexy sailboat for a long-awaited adventure, and I can't wait til we can test her on open seas. The world seems so much more full of hope and wonder now that I can breathe easy about my bar results and I'm looking forward to reclaiming my life. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


Who I'd like to meet:
Jim Belushi - yes, just him. Oh...and old friends are always welcome too :)

I'm headed out to visit my mom in Utah in a few weeks, then Nicole's bachelorette party at the end of the month. I'm actually off 8/19- 8/21 and am in town...I know it's the middle of the week, but if you're interested in coming up, I'm totally free. Let me know what you think.

Ah, mi amiga- it's been so long! How are you? Hopefully relaxing and enjoying the summer now that the bar is behind you! Life in Tahoe is good...been busy working nights(yuck!), hanging out with girlfriends and getting things ready for Nicole's wedding.
We should figure out some way for us to meet up sometime soon, before lawyer-land takes over and you don't have any free time left!

Thanks Karen for the photo comments. So glad that this 4th pregnancy is almost over.
I can't wait to meet our newest little man and complete our family finally! LOL!! How are things with you? You are a full fledged lawyer now, right? Are you practicing yet? Hope you are doing well!!

after i talk to you on friday, i called alexis and left a barely intelligible, sobbing voicemail.... seeeeee, three years living together and you DID rub off on me :) call soon so i can hear all about life as KLA,ESQ.

ps... just a second ago i was typing popsugar to read whats been happening in celeb gossip land (since ten minutes ago when i last checked) and i accidentally typed "poop" hehe, i LOVE my subconscious :) and i love even more that when i did that my first thought was to sign on myspace and comment you!

miss you my lovely lawyer - and love you too!

Hey! Hope your study week in Tahoe goes well...maybe once the bar is over we can have some play-time in Tahoe together?!?!? Good luck w/ the studying!
Maryann





Feb 12 2008 5:20 PM

I loved, Loved, LOVED your voice mail! It made me smile and laugh, and yes, I DO want a life, and it was the best birthday wish, because sometimes I really do believe this bar-monster has completely overtaken my life. I just want a life without flash cards, ya know?

So... as part of my mission to have a life, I've booked a ticket to California! I booked a ticket from DC to Laguna Beach for March 6-9. It would be so great if I could start my post-bar life with you in it! Let me know what you think. Love you and miss you!

OH! I was just thinking about you, and then I checked my email and saw I had a message from you :) How are you, gorgeous girl? I hope that your new job is great and that studying is going well. I'm starting to get to the stressed-out-mess-I'll-never-pass stage :( Sigh. We'll be through it soon enough, right? Miss you and love you back!

Hey Sistah!!! I just wanted to say hi!! It was great having you & the parental unit known as "madre" over here! But please, come again when you can stay longer!! And when you are healthy. Both Alli and I caught colds from work the past two weeks. One of my buddies even got pneumonia! We were quite a pair, taking the day off from work to sulk in urgent care waiting to see a doctor. I love you and I miss you!!!!
rebecca jo





Jan 8 2008 3:30 PM

Love You, xoxo

Yeah, I stayed in Reno the last few days for work. Worked yesterday then drove home last night- was greeted by 3 feet of new snow in the driveway! Spent about two hours last night shoveling before I could even get my truck in the driveway! I'm flying to my mom's tomorrow for a few days though, so I won't get to really enjoy it for awhile. How's everything w/you? When does the new job start?
Maryann





Jan 4 2008 5:06 PM

Once again I logged on to your myspace page just to hear the song and watch the slide show for a pick-me-up! Best study break a friend across the country could ask for :) Miss you!
melissa





Jan 2 2008 3:08 AM

Happy New Year! So, I guess congrats are in order w/ this new job! I know you're gonna be crazy busy these next two months, but if you ever need just a day or a weekend away from it all, my place is always open to you!
rebecca jo





Dec 28 2007 11:16 PM

new job?? please, do tell :)
melissa





Dec 13 2007 2:17 AM

Yep, there's snow, but not a ton. All the resorts are open tho!

I'm actually working this weekend:( So I won't be able to hook up w/you guys. Have a great time tho! The weather should be pretty good too- no major storms coming in.
Maryann





Dec 12 2007 4:40 AM

I can talk any day net week before 3:30 pm Eastern Time. I can also talk this Thursday before 1:30 Eastern, if that works too? I hope you're having a great week!!!
Amy





Dec 11 2007 7:42 PM

ohhh you are going to tahoe?! nice! yes, we have gotten snow. it actually snowed the first day of december when i was in NY, very pretty. and then it snowed again last week here in Philly, it was really snowing for awhile but not sticking -- but it looked so pretty outside my window. :)
Gabe





Dec 11 2007 5:46 AM

Hmmm I'm thinking it was Scooby Doo. That is random! Ha ha - are you gonna be in B-town for the holidays? I'd love for you to meet Alina Rose.
rebecca jo





Dec 11 2007 12:52 AM

hey :)

the party ended up being a lot of fun - i took jp along and he was charming and conversational and lots of people came up to meet me.... today was good too - i have a LOT of work to do though, ugh.... but the people all seem really great, so all in all - good day!
rebecca jo





Dec 10 2007 1:22 PM

i watched best in show yesterday and made fun of you in my mind the whole time - for the record, it would have been much better if you were actually there enjoying it - my "making fun" would have made so much more sense!!
Amy





Dec 4 2007 9:47 PM

rebecca jo





Dec 3 2007 2:58 PM

it made me laugh - and think of you :)

miss you!
