Pile up

Probably tough to tell, but this adorable kite banner says "sunny days". The joke's on me because it has rained 10 out of the last 12 days. It was sunny on Easter, and yesterday, and poured rain every other day in between. My hair is just loving this (not pictured-it would be too scary, but believe me when I say "Bride of Frankenstein" would give you a good mental image.) So, as usual, things are crazy because tomorrow is MAY (May, people!) and that means the end of another semester, and another year of law school, is coming down the track. This also means that Andy is finishing classes, which spells full blown chaos at the Riley house.

Here's some snapshots of what I've been up to:

My mom visited for Spring break (over a month ago, that's how crazy it's been) and we made the best cards ever. Andy got artsy, but you can see my new "home collection" of miss-you cards. Yes, that's a 3D fireplace, with fire, and armchair in the background.

We had our annual banquet for Law Journal, with these classy folks. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such talented, brilliant, and nice people everyday. I really do love law school. Good thing they are so nice because right after this picture, I was surprised to learn I would be speaking in front of 60 people in about 10 minutes. Ask me how fun that was some time.

So, when I make chicken pot pie, I cheat, a lot. But this particular episode found me calling Andy to ask him to start by making the biscuit dough, and I would do the rest. We were also missing a few of my usual cheating ingredients, like cream of chicken soup, so I knew there would be extra work ahead of me. I came home, and because I told him to follow the directions on the package (what man actually does that?) he was rolling out the dough to cut biscuits. So, I figured, well, why not? We cut heart shaped biscuits to top the pies rather than my lazy drop (or, more likely, plop) method. Delicious and so cute.

This is our Easter pic. I know, we both look like Easter eggs, and you know what? I'm glad. It only comes once a year, and you have to be silly at least once a year. It's a rule somewhere.

And that's a quick gloss on what I've been doing since March. There's more, but, of course, I'm supposed to be studying business associations (gag) so another time.

I hope this finds you enjoying sunny days (just don't tell me about them) and basking in the new, the green, the rebirth, the graduations and warm breezes of spring.

All my love,

Kelli
