A long three weeks

I'm sorry that I have been so bad about blogging (except for my pre-scheduled wedding posts). I have spent the last three weeks dealing with a baseless motion for a preliminary injunction from a professional plaintiff seeking to hold hostage a $94.8 million deal unless paid some greenmail. The hearing was scheduled for today, but within an hour of receiving our opposition memo yesterday, Plaintiff called to withdraw the motion. Now (fingers crossed) I will have more time to post.

To give you a brief overview of the last couple of weeks, we have spent a lot of time catching up with old friends. Karthik and Eve finally returned from their world trip. They made a very professional slide show, which they broadcast onto a sheet in their yard while their friends munched on the international fare that the attendees each brought. So fun!

We had to say goodbye to our good friends Kara and Colby and their family. They are moving to Ireland. We will miss them! We are excited, though, to visit them in their new digs.


The WLU retreat at Deer Valley was a good opportunity to hang out with Mellie, Nici, and Carrie even if the speakers were less than ideal. Both of the speakers talked about how to communicate (in general and in branding yourself). It seems to me that if a room full of attorneys does not already know how to communicate, they should be looking for a different profession. There was an interesting discussion, though, about the women lawyer's retention survey. I am so anxious to see what they find out.



We went to a new restaurant with friends--Brookside Grill. We all got stir fry. The appetizers were good, but the main course was okay. I preferred the Blueberry Pastry we had for dessert at Ally and John's afterwards.

Our book club book this month was "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". I didn't read it, but I plan on it. Adriene, our host, announced that she is engaged. Congratulations!

I also went to Weezer with Carrie and to Zions and Bryce with Min. Both were awesome, but deserve a full post (with pictures). I'll write more later.
