First Post - my new job

Here it is! My first Blog. I figured that I really do not talk to people enough, and even when I call my family, I generally cant get ahold of all of them, so somebody is left out. So here I am telling everyone what is up with me.

Honestly a big reason I didnt start a blog until now is that life was rather boring. Every day I went to school and work and did nothing exciting. There, that is my blog for most of the last 6 months. In March, I had a great wedding celebration/reception with lots of friends and family. Those pictures can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8211004@N07/

I recently got a great externship working for the Oregon Department Of Justice, in the Civil Enforcement division, Financial Fraud and Consumer Protection section. It has really turned me back on to being a lawyer. For a while I was considering utilizing by MBA more than my JD, but I think I will search for a job in an enforcement type area such as this. I have been able to draft legal documents, file documents with the judge, interview victims, and research topics that interest me greatly. The people I work with (both the other law clerks and the Attorneys and the staff) are all very nice, intelligent, and just fun people. It is a relaxed atmosphere where nearly everyone just works 8 or 9 hours a day. There is also alot of collaboration within the office. Just generally a great place to work.

well, I think I'll save some for later ;)
till next time, I bid you
adieu
