Kristi Setzer: Hi, Rachel!   Just popped in to see how you are.  I noticed your goal about your wedding contract.  I still have 2.5 years (plus the bar exam)until I´m an AZ lawyer, but I did get a great grade in Contracts!  I would love to take a look at it.  (But I wouldn´t let my advice cross it off your list, since I´m not yet the real deal!) Take care! In IIKE, Kristi (01/28/09, 01:53)

HALLOWEEN


Mike and I finally dressed up and went out for a Halloween with friends.  We were going for CHEAP costumes and I think that $30 between the two of us is pretty good.  My wig was the most expensive item at $15 and the gold fabric was next at $7.  

Ever slept in our guest bed? That would be what Mike is wearing.  Ever had a baby session and used my black sheet as the backdrop? That would be what I am wearing!  It took the two of us about an hour to safety pin each other into our getups and then about another hour of Ashley's help to get the eyeliner done.  

Here's the two of us.

and up close...



And then us and our friends the beer garden twins and two members of the imaginary 80's rock band that we hung out with that evening.

FEATURED!


Yippee! I get to cross another item off my 101 in 1,001 list. 

Sandra and Matthew's fun ceremony made it on J Sandifer's Today's Image.  I love when this blog shows up on my reader.  I find artists that I would have never known otherwise and begin to stalk their blog immediately for inspiration!

UPDATE MY PASSPORT - CHECK!


My passport has been valid, it's just only had my maiden name on it and I'd have to take a copy of my marriage license everywhere I go.  So now, it's officially off to have my legal and married last name on it.

My mother-in-law Sandy will be very happy about this.

NUMBER 70 - DONE!


I've been working quite a bit with the local Beta Kappa chapter of Gamma Phi Beta.  I've also gotten involved as an advisor and as the President of the Alumnae Chapter.  It's been fun getting to know so many amazing women.  I know all through sorority I heard about SisterLink and that wherever you move in life, you'll have sisters. It's been very nice to make new friends in Phoenix through this group. 

I have had on my mind for a while putting together an Alumnae website, and finished it!  Some of the pictures are not good quality but, overtime we'll be able to change them out.  Check out the website here!
