back to school

That's right, on Monday Tom will be back to school. Today was his last day at Irell and I have to admit, I was really sad. And not just because it meant saying goodbye to our temporary dual income. We really met some fantastic people throughout the summer and I am going to miss seeing them all of the time. Since we are near the firm there we will (hopefully) still be going to an occasional dinner with some associates. I am very proud of Tom because he has been asked to come back for a couple weeks next summer which means there is a good chance that he will get a job offer! When we were deciding where Tom should go to law school, I would never guessed how much choosing UCLA would change our lives. We love living in LA, we have an amazing ward, and Tom has been able to participate in this fantastic program. I feel so blessed.

Since we had been busy moving and then we were both sick for several days, we haven't been going to many dinners lately. Let's see. . . in the last few weeks we have tried out Fogo de Chao, Mastro's, Jar, Craft, and Lucques. We also had a couple of kind-of-celebrity-sitings; we saw Eddie Izzard at Jar and Gail Simmons at Craft. Everything was pretty good, except Craft had terrible service (they have only been open for a couple weeks) but they did give us these little blueberry corn muffins to take home with us.

Anyway, we are pretty much settled into our new place and we love it. I'll try to put up pictures soon, once our walls look a little less bare :)

Craft is the restaurant originally started by Tom Colicchio from Top Chef! I love Top Chef, have you ever watched it? I'm sorry to hear that service wasn't great...Tom Colicchio would be mad to hear that :)

Glad to hear you and Tom have enjoyed his time at Irell - and glad he has the chance to go back.

So glad you are happy to be in LA.
