2011 has been pretty eventful for the Muirs! Life is rapidly changing before our eyes and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon...
In February we went to Vegas with the Glendenings and had the absolute BEST time! Nate & I both had a lucky streak - although, I'm not so sure that any of us brought any of that lucky money home with us...Vegas definitely won! We saw Mystere, a Cirque de Soleil show at Treasure Island which was amazing! We also went out for dinner at the Stratosphere - yum! We spent the majority of the rest of the time playing Black Jack and hitting up the slots. It was one of our best vacations yet with some of our very best friends - what more could you ask for!?!?
March was quite the month for us! We found out that I am officially going to be working with Ed Hageman at his office in Stockton and will also be the Assistant Rooks County Attorney - very exciting news! (Champagne!) I couldn't ask for a better attorney to work with and learn from. I am very lucky to have such a great opportunity. We also couldn't be happier about moving back home and living so close to so many friends and family. Bryant was also offered a job with Farmers National Bank in Stockton! (Champagne!) He will be the Branch Manager for the Stockton office. I am so proud of him and excited for him to begin a new career. He couldn't be happier! Bryant will be starting on May 2 and I will be moving home shortly after.
We also started the process to buy a home in Stockton! (Champagne!) As of now it looks like we should close around June 15, so there will only be a month or so where we are crashing at our parents - sorry moms & dads! :) We cannot stop talking about how excited we are to be back home and be able to slow down. The thought of being able to run out to the lake on a beautiful day makes me want to do cartwheels! I know Bryant is very excited about the 2 minute drive to work everyday.
Graduation is quickly approaching. I currently have 4 weeks of school left and then my VERY last set of finals! The BAR exam is becoming more of a reality and anxiety is setting in. I plan on studying for the BAR via the online course - that way I can move home with Bryant right after graduation, rather than waiting until after the BAR in July.
It looks like we only have a few more things that need to fall in place - which means there are at least a few more champagne bottles in our future! We are still trying to sell our house. We have been on the MLS for 33 days now and have only had 2 different couples look at our house. One of the couples has been here 3 times in the past week and should be making their decision by tomorrow - if they do make an offer, they will need to close by April 27...AHHHH! Keep your fingers crossed! I also need to start focusing on the BAR so that I can pass with flying colors...or just pass...I'll take either one! :) Hopefully we will be packing our house up in the next month and making our move towards home and the rest of our lives. CAN'T WAIT!
Cheers!
Bryant, Danielle & Belly
