Karl and Angela Rees

Here's some pictures we took from our rather fun day at Tina and Ruston's wedding and festivities. Ironically, most of them are of us.

Karl's thought for the week:
Before pressing the puree button on a blender, it's a good idea to cover it. The blender, not the button.

Angela's thought for the week:
If you decide to try Mole sauce, maybe you should make sure your date's not trying it as well. That way, if it's too hot you still have something to eat.

Karl finished his first year of law school this week. He had a nightmare of a final exam on Tuesday-the professor gave them only 65 minutes to write three essays rehashing the entire course to them. Then he turned in his final paper on Saturday. This meant he woke up on Saturday at the rather unusual time of 5 AM so he could work on the paper all day and turn it in at 5 PM. Of course, he took a two hour break to go play Frisbee. It was such beautiful weather outside. That was before the cold front moved in and got us all wet. Anyway, now he's done with school.  read more »

Angela's thought for the week:
Take a walk and explore the world around you, unless you have blisters on your feet.

Karl's thought for the week:
"There are no 'good' or 'bad' people. Some are a little better or a little worse but all are activated more by misunderstanding than malice: a blindness to what is going on in each other's hearts."
-- Tennessee Williams, directing notes for "Streetcar named Desire"

It has been a busy and fun week for us. Last week was Karl's first week of finals, so he was busy studying for two of his finals. He had one Tuesday morning and one Friday morning--he thinks they went better than last semester (which wouldn't be too hard), but he sure was tired of studying. His last final will be this Tuesday, and his final paper is due this Friday. He was so busy he only played Ultimate Frisbee once all week!  read more »

My Constitutional Law professor spent the whole class on Thursday talking about Gettysburg, which was quite a break form interpreting the Commerce clause. At the end of it, he said he wanted us to take away two key ideas from his lecture:
1) People don't voluntarily risk their lives for interpretation of rules—they do so for ideas. Like freedom and peace.  read more »

The most exciting part about this week was when Karl finished his classes. No more classes until August! Unfortunately, there's still two weeks of finals. And since finals represent 100% of his grades, he?ll be kind of busy for a while [Angela cries].

Angela's still waiting to hear back from MyFamily.com. She interviewed there at the end of last week (i.e. nine days ago). Her chances are pretty good because her old boss was one of the ones who interviewed her. But she?ll call tomorrow probably, because we're dying of curiosity.  read more »
