Hey Ladies (and others),
I'm not sure who knows, and who doesn't...but I am officially employed for an attorney position in Minneapolis, MN!! They are a small patent firm in downtown Minneapolis.
I know Urs has recently dealt with this, and I have an inkling that it will take me a few years to come to terms with this, but I am actually going to be in a financial situation where I can own a car and not stress over it breaking down on the side of the road at any given moment. I've never owned a car with that understanding. And if my car does happen to break down, I don't have to call various towing companies while on the side of the road to get the best price. I can purchase healthy food and not have to worry about whether what's in my grocery cart will deplete my bank account. I can pay rent and be convinced that the landlord I'm supporting is not, in actuality, a slum-lord. I can start paying back my $100,000+ in debt. I can go to a doctor's office and know that I will be able to pay a bill that I get back, if I get one at all. I can afford a couch that I didn't collect from the side of the road with a "Free" sign attached, or pay $15 for at a garage sale (after I talked them down from $20). I can put furniture in a place that I can call home and live there for more than nine months. I can thrown out my socks with holes in them (although I'm not sure that I will). A parking ticket will not be as devastating as it once was. I can afford more than two bras. I can travel without feeling guilty about the debt I am incurring. I can pay Planned Parenthood back for the years of free services and products they have given me. And give them more to help out women who are in the position I was in.
I cannot fathom this sort of luxury that will become my life.
Holy shit.

Brag a little more, Rock.
/jealous because this will never be my life
Congratulations!
Thanks, man. And I know that this will be all of our lives once we all have jobs...these really aren't luxuries I'm talking about. Just a simple life where money doesn't dictate every movement we make and where we don't have to scrounge for basic things. I just can't fathom it yet.
Awesome. I dream about the day when this will be my life. Not that it's been so bad because I get paid and Justin had a good job until we moved to Lincoln.
Congratulations - especially on being able to live in the Twin Cities, but I already mentioned that.
When do you move? Do you get any unemployment time?
Awesome. Especially awesome that you're giving back. Someday.. someday.

Congratulations :)
It's awesome to finally be 'comfortable' in life!
I'm in D.C. to prep for the bar, and then after that I'll be moving to Minneapolis (end of July). I start work September 1st, so that gives me a month to decompress...I think I might travel somewhere, so if someone feels like a trip, let me know!
We're going camping with the entomology club in the Rockies August 2-5. You could join us if you wanted.
...or, you could see Alaska in the summer. I'd have an apartment this time, and a bed for you to sleep in.
Nice options! I totally need to think on this...
I don't want you to forget the Bay :]
How could I possibly forget the bay!?!? :)
