Officially an Esquire!

That time I tried on a wedding dress

 Now that Steph's wedding is over I can finally post this and cross it off my bucket list. When we went to look a bridal gowns a funny thing happened....I ended up trying on a wedding gown. Now, before you go rolling your eyes thinking geez what an example of an overly eager maid of honor stay with me. I tried it on at my sister's request! She couldn't make her mind up between two absolutely gorgeous bridal gowns and she wanted to compare them while they were both on someone. So I stepped in to help her out, and in the process got to wear a pretty snazzy get up!

She ended up going with the one I had one because she liked the back more.

Cruise Recap: Our Haitian Adventure

Today's post is a follow up to my Cruise Recap post about my post-bar, anniversary, and birthday celebration vacation. We cruised to the Western Caribbean for seven days and visited Labadee, Haiti, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Falmouth, Jamaica, and Cozumel, Mexico. The islands were AMAZING and I got so many incredible photos that I can't even share them all (but I want to!). This post is just for the time we spent in Labadee, Haiti.

Cruise Recap: The Ship and Stuff

After the bar exam in July, my boyfriend and I went on a 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean to celebrate us turning 25 years old, our 5 year anniversary, my law school graduation, and of course the bar exam being over. I wanted to just do a couple of posts talking about how the cruise was and share some photos we took throughout the week! If you're interested in cruising or just want to see how the trip was, stay tuned!

This post is a quick loooooong recap of the Bridal Shower so keep reading if you're interested in some festive photos and bridal shower ideas.

My Brother is a High School Graduate!

Yay! I love when I get to celebrate my siblings and this past weekend my brother graduated high school so it was very special day for him. I'm glad to take a break from bar prep and have a great day with him. Congratulations to him!

Blog Break While I Study for the Bar Exam

Hi everyone, as you know I'm preparing for the Bar Exam because I graduated. I wanted to give you all a heads up that I will not be blogging from June 1st to probably sometime in August so that I can adequately prepare for the exam. I might do some status updates throughout and always know that my nails ARE painted, but I might not be able to stay as active as I would have hoped! I'll talk to you all in August!

I Graduated Law School!

I graduated!! Finally, after three years of law school I have my Juris Doctorate! On my way to being an Esquire!!Turns out I graduated cum laude, 16th in my division (total of 107 students) and within the top 15% of my overall class (total of 170). I was honored to wear not one, two, three or four but FIVE honors cords! I wore a red cord as a graduate with Pro Bono Distinction (meaning I performed at least 60 hours of pro bono legal service during law school). Additionally, I wore two more cords: a dark green cord as a member of an honor society and a white cord as a member of law review. I also wore a blue and gold striped cord for graduating cum laude. Lastly, I wore a red, white, and blue striped cord as a member of the Military Law Society. I was well decorated to say the least!

I was so excited to wear this regalia!
