Bom dia!

It's been awhile. Finals preparations have taken over for the last couple of weeks. I don't have anything too intense going on, but I'm writing two large papers, making a thirty minute final presentation, and taking a final in Trusts and Estates.

In cooler news, Matt and I finally booked our honeymoon. We're going to be in Portugal for ten days and we are both super-excited. We're going to do our best to hit up the entire country while we are there - Lisbon, Nazare, Obidos, Fatima, Porto and the Duoro Valley, Elvas and Evora... and about two dozen other places. Okay, realistically, we know we won't make it everywhere, but we'll definitely venture outside the capital city for much of our trip.

Recently I got asked to be a bridesmaid in my friend Kate's wedding. She's having a Notre Dame wedding around St. Patrick's Day next year. This will be only the second wedding I've attended in the gorgeous basilica, and both Kate and I were bridesmaids in the other one, too. Anyhow, I'm so excited to be part of the day. My friend Bethany is getting married in just over a month back in Iowa, and I get to read in that one. Another cool role, though there's more potential for embarassment if I trip up over long, biblical words. Anyhow, I know some people hate being in bridal parties. I love it. ;-) I can't decide if I love the social aspect of it, the support aspect, or if I just like weddings. Probably some combination of all of it.
