Last weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Lanham (Peg’s Parents) had us over for one of their famous Sunday Dinners, which is basically like Thanksgiving, but for no reason at all other than to spend some time together and consume massive amounts of food :) After the feast, we had grandma show us her dress collection! We found this fancy little number which both her and my mom instantly recognized…”This is the dress I wore to Peg’s wedding!” I have heard of Bride’s wearing their mother’s gown, but never mother of the brides, wearing their mother’s dress….perhaps we could start a new trend! Pretty class for the late 70’s!

Let us eat cake! Again!!!
For those of you who don’t know, I love Cake, cookies, brownies, ice cream, pies, and pretty much anything sweet. So, when St. Patrick’s day rolled around, I decided we needed to celebrate with a cake! So we called Aunt B’s (our wedding cake creator) and asked her to come up with an idea for a St. Patrick’s day Themed Cake, and oh yeah, make it the same flavor as our wedding cake!!! (we love it!!!) So here is what she came up with….PRETTY AMAZING HUH? :)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Chris and I ran in the Leaping Leprachaun 5K together…He sported this fancy bow tie :) while I donned Green Leggins and Knee High 4 leaf clover socks! What a fun race! -
Time Flies
I wrote this awhile ago. Funny how things change. I’m now back in TC. Hopefully still a nice guy who loves golf.
I like visiting the home where I grew up – where my parents still live. Because I am not married with children, I still call my hometown, home.
“Sometimes there are moments in life that surprise me. Not in a startling way, but in a subtle way. When I go home, after all of the hugs and catching up, I carry my luggage up to my bedroom on the second floor of the house. After I set it down and I flip on my light switch, I see some of my golf clubs in the corner by the door. A few putters and a couple of short irons. If you know me at all, then you would expect me to have golf clubs in my bedroom. If you don’t know me, think of a nice guy who loves golf in your life. That’s me. Seeing the clubs in the corner, holding them in my hand and making short swings with them brings back many childhood memories for me.”

Happy March!
Well it is finally March, spring is just around the corner and it is also the 115 day mark! Whoo Hoo!!! The planning is going quite well and I wanted to take a quick minute to thank everyone who has sent us their well wishes! We love hearing from everyone and cannot wait to have everyone together come June 25th! It is beautiful out today, so it is time for a hike! Have a great day, and hopefully, even though March is in like a lamb, it will go out like one too. THINK POSITIVE right?!?!
Here’s a fun picture from our hike today…quite a beautiful blustery day down by the bay!!! Yogi is so cute in mid shake! Sorry its flipped the wrong way….i’m still learning wordpress!

Law Practice: Two First-Year Points of Practice
Two things I’ve learned the hard way during my first year practicing as a lawyer:
- The Michigan Court Rules are extremely handy and offer clear directions in most situations. It’s good to read them thoroughly, and then revisit them for each specific matter.
- Reading on paper is easier and “better” than any digital replacement for paper. This statement might surprise a few of my co-workers, but as I head into my second year, I’m trying to better strike a balance between using paper and striving to be paperless. The idea of going paperless is nice, but there has to be universal access to all files when out of the office for it to really be a benefit. I’m finding it easier to simply plan for work out of the office and take specifically what I need. Working out of the office is tricky because I usually forget exactly what I need to really get down to work. This is where I’d like to have greater virtual access, but that requires diligently scanning everything and then ensuring it’s on the server and in the right place. Baby steps!
