Perhaps there is Light at the End of the Tunnel????
First, I want to say that I am so proud of my three children! While each of them have their unique characteristics, all of them are intelligent, creative, talented, funny, inquisitive, good-natured, caring, sensitive, with beautiful souls.
Taylor Terrasa (now Taylor Terreau) -- Isn't she beautiful?????
Ryan Terrasa - a handsome and sweet young man!
Dylan Reichle - My little man!
Taylor and Justin's Wedding Reception - Summer 2004: (L to R: Ryan, Max, Megan, Hannah,Taylor, Riley, Justin,Tera and Cody):
--Today I am beginning work on my Research and Writing requirement -- which is supposed to be a "rigorous writing experience evidencing legal analysis resulting in a paper of professional quality." Fun, fun, fun .... (not). I am truly behind this semester in all of my courses! I do have a pretty heavy load this semester -- 16 hours (Professional Responsibility, Remedies, Evidence, Administrative Law, Constitutional Law II and Research & Writing). Fortunately, I do have an office at the law school, so I can get a lot more done this year than last year (although I do have more work than last year).... Oh well, only one more semester left after this one (assuming I take 6 hours in the summer session). I am hoping to be looking at graduation in Dec. 2005!! I am VERY excited about that.... I can start paying off my student loans and (hopefully) start bringing in the big bucks, getting my family back on its feet (after all the many sacrifices that were made which allowed me to go back to school).
Susan wants me to eventually partner with her when I finish where I will continue to do employment related immigration law (faculty members, outstanding researchers/professors, national interest waivers, EB-2/EB-3 professionals, multi-national managers/executives, etc.), which I totally love and enjoy, having done this type of law for the last 13+ years (first with Howard Eisberg and for the last three years, and for going on 3 years, with Susan)-- and she will do the family related and temporary employment related immigration law (H-1B's, TN's, and family marriage immigration cases). Susan's practice is really taking off---- now that our website is up and running, I am sure it will expand so much more (we just need time to update/work on it!! -- but we are far too busy, even turning clients away at this point) -- It doesn't help that I can only work a maximum of 20 hours a week right now until I am out of school!!!

My sister Dana also has an exciting practice in Southlake, Texas -- wherein she specializes in family law and employment law. In addition to her regular office, she and her partner have an office at the Grapevine mall called "Justice and White" where they help clients with quick types of legal issues.
I am so ready to be out of school and back to a "civilian" life (ha!!!). These last years have wreaked a sort of havoc in my personal/family life (no longer get to do everything I enjoyed and took for granted, like read a good book or watch much t.v. or go for my usual LONG walks in the park, or talk on the phone with friends/family) --- so all this bullcrap stress must pay off in the end!! I can see light at the end of this crappy tunnel!!!
