Law Girls 2008

Each year Tessie and some of her friends from Creighton get together for a weekend of fun. For some crazy reason they chose Boise as this year's destination. I loved having six hottie-lawyers around the house for the time that they were there. It was good to see the girls again, most of whom I have not seen since they were wearing matching dresses at our wedding. It was also nice to see them in a more-relaxed state without all the hustle and anxiety of the wedding weekend.

The girls went to Mai Tai for dinner the first night and they invited me to tag along. There were some misunderstandings about the restaurant's tipping policy which left a bad aftertaste in the mouths of each of us, well okay, really just the girls. I'll probably still eat there in the future.

Poor Ms. Pond was stuck in Denver for the night after some problems with her flight left her stranded. The next day the girls hung out at the house and relaxed while waiting for Anne to arrive. When Anne arrived in Boise her luggage was not available. A driver from the airport delivered the bags later that night.

The next day the law girls floated the Boise River and hung out in the sun. That night Amy arrived at the house. Jeanne and Tessie hosted a party which turned into a long night. I ended up falling asleep on the living room floor. Ali took some mean-spirited photos of me at that point. Thanks Ali!!!

On Saturday the Law Girls floated down the Payette River. Karma from the night before returned to Ali as she was tossed from the boat. Ali managed to get back in the raft with some strong-armed persuasion from Tessie. Sunday was largely a time to relax and prepare for the flights back to the Midwest and to Colorado where the Law Girls live and work. Ladies, I look forward to many more good times with you all.
