This summer has been focused mainly on doing well at my summer job at Michael Best. The job lasted for eight weeks and was the best place I could have possibly worked. It’s located in downtown Madison right across from the Capitol. I got my own office that overlooked the lake and it even had my name on it! The office as a whole was beautiful as you can see from the pictures below. The best part about working there was the people. They were very down-to Earth and friendly. I feel like I made many good friends there. A few particular attorneys really went out of their way to reach out to Ashley and me. One attorney invited Ashley and I to her neighborhood Fourth of July party. There was food, beer and music which meant I was full, slightly drunk and dancing poorly. All around, a good time. Ashley and I also were able to see another attorney’s band play a few times around Madison. They play stuff that Dad likes to listen to and that Ashley and I can’t dance to but it’s still fun to listen to. I was also able to go to lunch almost everyday with a different attorney and every lunch was an enjoyable outing. The work I did there really cemented the fact that I want to be a lawyer. I did interesting and engaging work in a variety of practice groups including business, litigation, land and resources, environmental, criminal law and employment. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will get the opportunity to return. Here are those pictures!
The firm had several social events all of which were a lot of fun. One of the best events was the softball game in the small field near Miller Park which is where the Milwaukee Brewers play. The summer associates played with the partners against the associates. We won 18 to 8. I had two hits and I scored a run. Ashley and I also got to take a picture with the Chorizo! For those who don’t know, every home game the Brewers have five giant mascot sausages that race around the bases and people all cheer for their favorite! Ashley and I also recently went to our first Brewers game where we got to see the sausage race and Ashley got a sausage race t-shirt.
Our new place is super awesome and Ashley will talk about it more in her post. I think that’s about it. We will post again while Corey is here to update you on his Wisconsin experience. Maybe he can guest author a post on the blog! Hope everyone is doing well and we miss you a lot.

mmmm....sausages. Sounds like a lot of fun. I always wanted to go to a Brewers game just for the sausage races. They actually almost trampled the Giants catcher once this year. I'm glad to see that things are going great for you guys, all that hard work has to be good for something right?
I'll try to check in on the blog more often. Later. Lea says howdy hiya!
