I enjoyed living near NYC this summer and working 24/7. Mike and I went to NYC area to work some temp/contract attorney jobs. They worked fabulously in our favor! I applied for a LL.M. program at George Washington University Law School which has a great program in Intellectual Property law. I was accepted and then in a whirlwind I moved to the D.C. metro area. I actually live in Northren Virginia. There is so much to explore here! I will eventually post some shots of sightseeing in D.C.. Mike, My brother and I did some sights the day after moving all the furniture and stuff in but we didn't take any pictures.
2008-2009 is going to be lots of fun!
Mike and I are exciting to be taking this next phase of our lives on together. We are planning our wedding on March 15, 2009!
We are going to have an intimate, and laid back wedding. On our wedding day we will have been engaged for two years and together for 4 years. We met in March in 2005. We got engaged in March 2007. Now we are waiting for the big day. We do wish we could afford to invite more people but it does not seem fiscally responsible for us to ever consider a big wedding since we both have tons of loans from school. Also I am in school now and not working. It also wouldn't be fair to invite people to come from far away and only offer a small reception.
Also the excitement for this year is that I am studying patent law at GWU and looking for some patent/IP jobs. I am doing a second interview on an interesting internship related to lobbying in IP for this semester. Hopefully that will work out! I really would like an internship with the one of a few courthouse here but I will have to really work for that. I plan to take the patent bar this year or early next. I am hoping there will be a patent review course in D.C. this December.
Mike is a barred attorney in the State of North Carolina, like I am and he just applied to be barred in D.C.. He is starting a contract attorney job this upcoming week but is also applying for permanent jobs in D.C.. I hope he gets one he really likes!
So we will keep you posted on our adventures in Va and D.C.
