Since they have so many mutual friends, it made sense to have one party (sort of like I ... http://www.velvet-rose.net/index2.php/?p=569 I wanted to do an echo of my friend Karie's blog post about her first year in Texas.

We bought our first house, we got married, we moved to Texas, he started and graduated law school ... yea, a lot of major ... http://www.velvet-rose.net/index2.php/?p=563 Hubby graduated law school last weekend! Finally, after 3 long years, graduation day came.

Technically the training was longer, ... http://www.velvet-rose.net/index2.php/?p=562 So I've still been entering book giveaways (it's sort of become an addiction, actually) and I've still been winning a few here and there.
