Well, we did it! After a year's worth of twelve hour days, law papers, Gordy practically living in his carol at the library, and TWO finals weeks we can finally say that we made it through Gordy's first year of law school... and you can definitely say that it was 1L of a ride! The 1L year is the most dreaded of all three years (or so they say). This is such a major accomplishment for Gordy and we are so proud of him. I can hardly believe that we have already made it through 1/3 of our time here in Bloomington. I feel like we are going to blink and law school is going to be over...
To celebrate finals being over we decided to have a little outing with the Castellano clan. We went over to campus (because I don't think that the guys had enough on campus time yet) and we took pics of each other's families. We went to Dunn woods, a little forest in the center of IU campus to take pictures. I was so happy that we picked this location. Heather did a great job snapping away and Dan did a great job too, getting Jack to smile in all of the pictures. I would also like to give props to Jack for being particularly cute and waiting until we were in the car leaving to have a melt down. Seriously, the stars aligned for us to get some great shots.
So without further ado.... Here are some of our favs
In other news, my parents made it in early this morning (4:30 AM) and Gordy's parents are arriving on Tuesday. It is so nice of our parent's to come help and support us while Jack has his surgery next week. We love them for sacrificing to come out here to Indiana and make sure we are taken care of. We definitely have the best parents in the entire world.
Next Thursday is THE big day! Little man is getting his heart fixed up! I think we are just going to be holding our breath until Friday. We have great faith that all will be well with him, but we are still sad that our sweet little guy will have to go through such a big ordeal he doesn't understand. It is all for the best though, that's what we keep reminding ourselves.
