Hello to All!
It's been nice to hear what you guys have been up to through your surveys and your posts. I thought I should do my part real quick and fill everyone in.
My life has been filled with education and then more education on top of that. I finished up my bachelor's in Reno w/ a Marketing degree and a minor in E-Business in winter 2002. I started law school that following fall. I just graduated in May and am currently studying for the bar that will take place in about 3 weeks (along w/ Lisa's husband, Taylor).
Law school definitely took a toll on my whole life. My social life isn't what it was, and even when I made time to hang out and do anything non-law school, I never could totally relax. I always had all the things I needed to be doing running through my head. Even so, I would try and hang out with my friends and family as much as I could and travel when time allowed. The beach is a nice quick get-away for the wknd. I've been to Miami and Seattle in the last year. They are both beautiful cities in their own right.
After my first year of law school, I travelled and studied in the Mediterranean. I visited Greece and all the Greek Isles, Italy, South of France and Spain. I really had the time of my life and felt that I did a lot of growing up on that trip. I made great friends that I still see/keep in touch w/ on a regular basis.
I externed in the Family Court and worked at a family law firm after my second summer. I may end up practicing family law, but we'll see. I have doubts about being a lawyer now. I'd much rather go back to Europe and live for awhile and work random jobs while I'm not tied down.
I haven't joined the marriage/baby bandwagon yet...which is a good thing for me. There have been lots of frogs, and even good guys where it just hasn't worked out, and broken hearts, and good times, but haven't found "The One". If you know of any good-looking, single, educated, professionals...set me up! I'm on the look-out for Mr. Right- but a Mr. Right now will do too. ;)
The photo above is fairly recent- graduation day in May.
Take care everyone and I look forward to hearing more about what is going on in your lives!
XOXO, Amber

Amber, you look and sound great! Congrats on finishing Law School and good luck on the Bar. I am sure it will be a huge relief to get that over. I felt like a single mother when Dean was studying for it, because he was gone all the time. It was so nice when he could come home in the evenings and feel like he could just relax instead of like he should be studying. I am very excited for you!

Amber!!! Way to stay strong (fighting off the man-frogs with a large stick)! I loved reading what you've been up to--traveling, law school, what have you NOT done??? By the way, you look AMAZING. I sure miss ya. How did the bar go? Good feelings? I heard you're gonna do family law. That would be so interesting, and so tough! I work a lot with judges and the like fighting for these kids. Sadly, though, things don't go the best way for the kids, so we need more people like you fighting for them! You go girl! Love, Kali
Amber, you look Great and it sounds like you are doing great as well,I admire you going through so much school and stress. It is a turn on in my book, RRRRR lol. I hope you pass your test. Keep in touch let me know if you ever in SLC...
