Happy Birthday to Me

Hi All:

Thanks for all your warm b-day wishes. Life has been hectic- it's hard fighting racism in the midwest. Anyways- let's just say, I have a lot to say when I come back to CA. Maybe by then, I'll have my book out and made my appearance on Oprah already:)

Anyways, please see my lovely birthday pics in the "28th Bday" folder. I celebrated my b-day with two other Californian law students. On Friday, 3/9- the three b-day girls- Robin, Emily and Nancy wore white dresses and b-day crowns. We were princesses:) We sang karaoke at a noodle restaurant for five hours. It was uber fun. Then, we went dancing afterwards. On Saturday, 3/10- we went dancing at a restaurant called "Mercury." The owners let us use the space at no cost and played whatever music we wanted. Hong and I left at 2 a.m. but the other b-day girl celebrated until 6 a.m.

Hong and I leave for Vienne this week. I will be in Austria on Thursday....I cannot wait to sit in a Vienna cafe and watch the world pass me by. Maybe we won't return to the U.S.?? We will be there for ten days. Coincidentally, Jenn and Andrew will also be there backpacking through Europe.

I compete against a law group from Latvia on Sunday- wish me luck. Hopefully I will advance. It is the International Commercial Arbitration Moot.....Can't wait to meet all the folks from all over the world.

I miss my family sooo much. We were hoping to go back to CA for Spring Break but now we won't make it until summer.

I have heard soo much good news lately- babies, marriages, and much more. You know who you are and I am so excited for you!

Well, Hong and I are well. I've been busy fighting institutional racism so I've lost a lot of face time with my baby....it hurts to only see Hong in the evenings. But at least we'll have ten days to ourselves in Vienna.

Okie doke---check out my bday pics. I also included one pick of our bathroom. Hong did the flooring and he installed the sink himself. Isn't he crafty??!!

XOXO- NV
