Justin Gradutated From Lawyer School!

I know it's been a while since I've posted but I've been running around the South East like a mad woman! Last Thursday I spent all day in court in Dillon, SC dealing with an appointed DSS case. A heart wrencher to say the least. It took 2 1/2 hours to get to Dillon due to thick smoke/fog. You literally could not see more than 5 ft in front of the car. Scary. On the way back to town, I got a call from an attorney I have been in talks with about a job and got a formal offer--- Of which I accepted. I'm super excited about this new avenue. I think it will be a fabulous fit.

I left out Thursday night for NC and on Friday my parents and I drove up to Grundy, VA for Justin's law school graduation! Hip! Hip! Hooray! He did it! Okay, enough with all the exclamation points. After graduation on Saturday and lunch at Cuz's (a crazy BBQ place with fantastic food), Justin and I headed to Knoxville to unpack all of his "stuff." I've determined that men/boys do not have belongings they have "stuff" or maybe the better word is "shit." So off to K-ville we went, truck loaded down with the Virginia mountains in our rearview mirror. Leaving Grundy was bitter sweet. In my heart I knew I would not be returning for quite some time. There's something about that little, tiny mountain town that makes my heart so happy and warm. Maybe it's because I loved all of my classmates so much, or maybe it was where I found out what I am really made of, or maybe it's because Grundy is the place that Justin and I met. It's the place that we became friends, made 2 am Huddle House runs, played Scrabble for hours and the place where I fell in love with that silly boy. Ah, I just love Grundy and ASL.

Okay, enough with my stroll down memory lane. We spent Sunday unloading and unpacking and on Monday we left out early for Franklin, TN where we picked up a car Justin bought. After a 12 hour fiasco, we hit the road for NC. We stayed in NC and hit the road for Myrtle Beach on Wednesday night. AH!!! I'm so sick of traveling.

Today, I met with my first big personal injury case and I really am excited about helping my new clients! I really feel like I can make a difference and do it well. YAY!

This weekend is Justin's birthday and I have no clue what to do for him......last year I took him to Abingdon for dinner and a drive in movie. Maybe we will go to the Darlington race this year. He loves Nascar and I know he would have a blast.

Time for bed,

Amy
