Third year...

We have been loving this new semester. Some might think that the 3L law students are just not fair with all their freedom the last year, but I sure feel like we have paid our dues in many ways. I do, however, have sympathy for you strong couples studying in PhD programs--you are a tough group! Luckily I don't feel like we have suffered extensively from the intensity of the 1L or 2L years. It was definitely a blessing that I was in school during Skyler's first two years so that we could study together instead of me wondering what I could do for entertainment while he studied.

This photo brings me feelings of happiness as I consider that Sky still gets to have tennis shoes out next to his dress shoes. Soon it will just be dress shoes and more dress shoes.

So, what have we done with our free time? The first bit of the month we spent soaking in the last bit of warmth that Ithaca had to offer. We love Ithaca in the summer, but missed it at it's best. We were able to do a nice hike through Treman and also walk along Cayuga Lake. I didn't have my camera for either event because they were spontaneous (which is huge for us).

Other than that we have just been doing various projects. There is lots to do, but we are loving the fact that we can do most of it together. Best of all, Ithaca is in all its glory now with the Autumn in full swing. I took some photos yesterday because I just can't get over how beautiful the trees are with the freshness of fall.

The colors of Ithaca.

I love the beauty of the small droplets of water that cover everything this time of year.

So you might all hate tags, but I like getting them once in a while. I have been in a slump about what to post, so this will get the ball rolling again. I was tagged by Skyler's cousin Bridi, who is the sweetest girl! And yes Bridi, I read your blog!
