Aaron has some job prospects. He has his 2nd, and 3rd interviews with the Boy Scouts next week. It's down to him and one other guy. He has a test with the county sheriff's department on Saturday. Plus a few other things he's been looking into. He won't be taking the BAR, at least for a few years.
Here's why: After law school, he'd sign up for a BAR prep course. This costs somewhere in the neighbourhood of $5000 (which we do not have), so we'd have to get a private loan for that. The BAR prep is essentially a full time job (and then some), which means no working, which means more loans. Then after he takes the BAR, he'd work in an unpaid internship until the results come back, in November. Then, he can finally start applying for paying jobs, but would still need to do the unpaid internship until he got a job. So it would be at least 8 months, likely longer, with no job. So it's a no go. But maybe in a few years, when the type of legal job he wants is more available.
My Crohns is flaring up again. It's making me grouchy. And it's painful, of course. And, it likely means I'll have to switch to Humira or Remicade soon.
We're starting to get our adoption stuff together. Basically, as soon as Aaron is employed we're going to turn in the papers. I had a form for my GI to fill out. He'll basically write that I can't get pregnant, due to my Crohns, and then we'll be in review. And a long process will begin.
Speaking of babies, we were just made God-Parents of Aaron's cousin's son. Woot. So we'll go to his baptism next month.
I got Aaron a new Timbuk2 bag for graduation. When we found out he was going to law school, and would be commuting so much we decided to get him a Timbuk2 bag. (They're usually used by cyclists and bike messengers, and are nearly indestructible, and thus, are kind of pricey). We were at the BYU sports shop and saw some Timbuk2 bags on sale (for $75). We got him a nice eggplant one (purple is his favourite colour). I found a nice one of clearance at the Timbuk2 website for $79, and it's grey and purple. He loved it. :-)
