Cathy Visits Charlottesville Again 2006

Cathy came back this weekend. She got here early on Friday, so I did a half day at work and I took her around Charlottesville. We spent most of the weekend partying with my law school friends and she got to meet Sarah, Donald, Josh, and Jon. Good times!

Jefferson's Monticello 2006

Becky and Brandon invited me to go to Monticello yesterday with them.

Monticello

Monticello was Thomas Jefferson's plantation, and Jefferson designed the main house. Monticello is just south of the Rivanna Gap. A lot of the of what you see when you walk around the property is the history of the slaves who lived on the property.

Cathy Visits Charlottesville 2006

Becky and Brandon just moved to Charlottesville this summer! Becky is my friend from college and her husband will be starting at UVA Law next semester. So Cathy came to visit. We went to Cathy's niece's party too.

Got My Driver's License! 2006

Finally got my license for the first time on today at 27 years of age! About 10 years after I should have gotten it. Thanks to all the people that gave me driving lessons- 1 or 2 at a time. And thanks especially to Alec that lent me his car today so I could take the test. You're brave and awesome!

With my license!

My Parents Visit Cville 2006

My parents visited this weekend. I showed them a little bit of Charlottesville, and they met Sarah and Donald. Though for some reason my mom insists on calling Donald, "Dominick." We also decided to wear hats because, as Sarah taught me, everything is more fun that way.

Summer Legal Jobs 2006

I started my two part-time jobs this week. It's been extremely busy so far. I'm working at Legal Aid Justice Center. At the beginning of the week I do Immigration Law on-sight and the end of the week I do Elder Law at the Adult Protective Services Building way across town.

Legal Aid Justice Center

It is interesting, but it's going to be a long summer. Especially since in order to get to the Elder Law job I have to take a bus (or walk) to the church, take the trolley downtown and then walk the two miles there.
