Happy Holidays!

I had good intentions of sending an update with my Christmas cards this year, but it didn't happen again...oops! Here's our electronic version:

2007 has been a great year for us! We made it through Brandon's first full year of law school and it wasn't as bad as we thought it might be. He did great and I am so proud of him. He had a great summer working for Judge Posner at the University. He also got an offer in Phoenix for a summer associate position next summer at Osborn Maledon. We aren't hardly half way through with this winter in Chicago, but we're convinced that Phoenix sounds great right about now - even if it will be the dead of the summer. We're looking forward to a change of pace in AZ.
I changed jobs in May and moved from Tag to Aon - great choice. I knew Aon would be more challenging and demanding on my time, but I have had amazing opportunities and experiences that are invaluable. If I'm not working, you'll find me at home hanging out with Brandon, out with my girlfriends, or with the Young Women. If Brandon's not studying, he's either watching sports, playing sports (ultimate frisbee, basketball, flag football), or being the best husband ever. 2008 has a lot in store for us as well and we are looking forward to our new adventures.

We're off to Utah this Saturday for the holiday festivities. Chicago to SLC for a few days and then to Oakland, CA for my brother's wedding, then back to SLC for me (sorry for Brandon who has to come back and start school again).

p.s. It snowed A TON today! I'm basically ready for our indoor parking spot - I think I'll go sign up tomorrow.

If you're around here on December 30th, Daniel Miller and Seth Church are speaking in church at 1:00 before leaving on their missions on January 2nd. Thanks for the electronic update. It's always good to hear what you are doing. I loved the picture on your Christmas Card!

Hope you guys have fun in Utah! And as of yesterday, I was definitely wishing for an indoor parking spot. It took 10 minutes to dig our car out, then we got STUCK on our street because it wasn't plowed! Fun chicago winters.
