Last weekend our friends Nat, Syndi, and their daughter Sophi hosted a farewell dinner. Nat is a fellow law student who just graduated with me. He is originally from Hawaii and is now returning with his wife and daughter. Unlike some of his fellow graduates, he has a job waiting for him. We will all miss them greatly. They have been such good friends to us over the past three years. And they have hosted many wonderful parties, but Saturday’s was exceptional.
Syndi is a chef and as a goodbye she put together an amazing six-course dinner with wine pairings for each course. The food was truly delicious and the wine was perfect! We love you Syndi and as much as we will miss you, we may just miss your cooking even more!

The Sunday before last my friends Erin, Megan, and I threw a baby shower for our friends Melissa and Mike. Melissa is a fellow law student and her baby is due a week after our graduation. That means she will be studying for the Bar exam with a newborn baby at home. I don’t think any of us are worried about her passing the exam and I don’t really think she is either. If anyone can do it in such challenging circumstances Melissa can. She is hardworking, brilliant, and the most motherly person I know. She will be an amazing attorney and an incredible mom.
Our best friends were there to celebrate with us.
Eleanor was very good during the party. She always seems to enjoy having new people around.
Erin made all of the delicious food and brought a beautiful diaper cake designed by her cousin as a centerpiece.
I made the cupcakes and we decorated them with little plastic babies.
Here are Melissa, Erin and I at the end of the afternoon.
