To save some paper this year (and the cost to copy it), we decided to post our Christmas newsletter online. Hope you enjoy our year in review!

The biggest news for us this year is that we moved to Illinois!

| View from Elizabeth's work this summer |
Elizabeth is originally from there, and after getting accepted to DePaul to finish her last year of law school as a visiting student, the whole gang moved out in late August. We're living in a quaint suburb north of the city and have really come to love it.
We had two "trips" this year: Dan came out for a visit to Chicago this summer while Elizabeth was clerking and then we spent Thanksgiving in Indianapolis with some great friends from Arizona. We were so excited to see them as well as another couple who came out from Phoenix. Add to that a visit with Elizabeth's brother and his wife, our first trip to Indianapolis was a great one.

Dan is almost finished with his master's in electrical engineering, one more project! For now he is working in Glenview at Whole Foods. They are a great employer and who wouldn't appreciate a discount at that place? He was a great sport about moving from Phoenix to Chicago, and seems to be enjoying it so far. Dan still loves politics, hiking, and video games.
Elizabeth feels grateful for the opportunities she's enjoyed while in law school and can't believe it's almost time to graduate! This year, she was able to go to NYC, D.C., and Kansas City for competitions. She also won DePaul's Negotiation Competition. Since May she's been clerking with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, and under their student prosecutor program has tried 17 cases before a judge. Next step: passing the Illinois bar - fingers crossed please! In her spare time she likes running, reading, exploring Netflix, and playing video games.

Mr. Tinkers has adjusted well to the move. He seems to love our new apartment, especially in the middle of the night, when he shows his enthusiasm by running crazily across the floor, waking us up. But we love him. When we finally get some snow on the ground, we plan on taking him out and seeing how he likes it - he's never seen it before!
We hope you have had a wonderful year and wish you a
Merry Christmas and fabulous 2012!

I'm glad to see that you are all enjoying Illinois! It sounds like you're all doing very well. Thank you for the update. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you crossing the bar but I don't think you'll need that extra help. I think you'll do just fine. Happy New Year!
