Mother's Day
Happy Mothers day to the woman who made me who I am. My mom, Meg Richards, is the type of woman that most people don’t know exists anymore. She gives without ever asking for anything in return, she loves with the sort of abandon that ensures you never doubt her love. She is beautiful, talented, and passionate. She always put my big sister and I first, and because she made that sacrifice we...
The Face of a 2L!
Despite all the odds…I just completed my first year of law school! The last exam was a doozy, but I just looked back over a few of the questions I was worried about and I got them right! Now I get to pretend to not think about grades for awhile, and enjoy the summer! Thanks for all the support, next update should be photos from the weekend in Indiana celebrating the nuptials of...
1 exam left, starting in 9 minutes! Ready to nail this and hit the road for INDIANA!
hercrossroads asked: Love the response to my QOD :) Thank you! I got back to my apartment after my last final and literally just stood still in my room while I looked around for about 2 minutes or so - I honestly didn't know what to do with myself! Congratulations again on the new job! I am SO excited for you and hope that it is nothing short than all you expect it to be! How was your L1 year? Can you believe...

Now Entering: The Real World
I didn’t even dare tell anyone I was interviewing for this job last week. It just seemed too good to be true. It has been such a struggle fighting for opportunities over the past couple of months, and after many emails reading “We can’t wait to meet you, send your resume” followed by weeks of silence, followed by months of silence, I was ready to just about give up. And...
Sunday Happy List
1. My new job and the purpose it has filled me with.
2. All of the crossed out items on my year-long to do list: RCIA, 5K, writing lots of letters, etc.
3. That I only have two exams left of 1L year.
4. That one week from today I’ll be in Fort Wayne, recovering from Kristy’s wedding and two weeks from today I’ll be packing for Columbia/Charleston. I need my family near me...

Con law: Check!
I honestly feel like I nailed that one.

Beyond expectation.
humbled.
After much prayer, hard work, and determination… I have been offered an incredible summer position. I start next Wednesday and am so filled with joy and excitement. Whenever I am stressed out about the future Joe always asks me to think about the things I was stressed about one year ago. I realize that only rarely am I still plagued by the doubts of yesteryear. This is such a great reminder...
sometimes...
sometimes I think that I’m getting really sick because I’m so tired and then I get worried that I have an iron deficiency and then I drink a cup of coffee and I’m like “oh, yea now I’m fine.”
sometimes I call someone and only let it ring 2-3 times and then when they call me back I don’t answer. I like to think the other person understands that I’m...
