It's Over!!!


Finally Mark is finished with the Bar exam. It has been a long couple of months and really stressful couple of days, but what an accomplishment. When Mark was standing on his books (that cost a fortune) he said "This was all in my head!!" Let it out babe, you are done :) Congratulations.

Although the circumstances were far from ideal, we really did have a nice time in Downtown Tuscon(where the Bar was). We stayed at this adorable Bed and Breakfast with 5 other test takers. It was a great relaxing environment for a really stressful time.It was the The Royal Elizabeth and nicknamed "The Liz". It was a fantastic place.We had the Sydney Marie room which was originally a law office of a local Tuscon attorney back in the day.Our room had a private enterance to the pool, where I spent all my time totally relaxing.Jeff and Chuck (the owners/chefs/hosts) made a fantastic gourmet breakfast each morning.I walked a couple blocks and picked up our lunches each day at the cutest little Italian place, Caffe Milano. Delicious!Thanks Mark for letting me tag along! Maybe we can go back another time and enjoy ourselves under better circumstances.

Tell Mark congrats for us for being done with that nasty test...keep us updated! Hopefully now you can make a trip out here to La Verne so we can catch up! Can you believe the last time we saw you guys was almost a year ago when Mackenna was about 5 days old!! Crazy! I have the picture of you two holding newborn Mackenna right here on my desk and look at it all the time.
