Happy Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Happy CINCO DE MAYO everyone!!! I made it through exams which means we are officially done with our first year of law school!!!
Can you say….WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Exams are over, I am so glad, and we are taking this time to celebrate with some delicious margaritas (of course! what else?). We aren’t completely done because we have law journal competition this coming week…but right now I don’t care about that and we are just celebrating! We are so grateful to have made it through the first year in one piece. We are still going for our degrees, we are STILL MARRIED (yes, thank you to the doubters out there who thought law school would make us get divorced…wtf…), and we are SO HAPPY! We look forward to everything else that God has in store for us in the future. We can’t wait. Soooo one lime margarita for the hubster:
And pomegranate for moi:
I’m on a little pomegranate kick lately. To make it all I did was start with a regular lime margarita recipe (we used the frozen concentrate + gold tequila + crushed ice) and then pour in about a cup of pomegranate juice and another cup of crushed ice. Blend well and enjoy!
We’re having loaded nachos for dinner! OLÉ! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day! Tomorrow I will be back with a legit post and recipe, I promise.
Thanks for reading!
