Current Skippee Events
Hi! I haven’t been able to go through our Asia photos yet but just wanted to update you all on current Skippee events.
SMALL NEWS
I applied to become a California real estate broker a long time ago. Nope, not changing careers…I just wanted to get my broker’s license to be able to help our family & friends with buying/selling properties without having to pay commissions. I kept procrastinating until I found out that my application would be expiring in just a few weeks so I was forced to take the exam. LUCKILY, I passed! Yay!
MEDIUM NEWS
I’ve retired from law firm life! Who knows if this is a permanent thing but I just realized that there are so many things that I love doing that I’d rather focus on. I actually have a “wish list” of over 50 things I want to do (i.e., volunteer at the animal shelter, take more photography classes, learn how to sew). My main goals now are the pursuit of happiness and helping others.
Good-bye office!
Retirement card from my dear Teresa
Bella, Esq. (Bella in her smaller/younger days)
BIG NEWSThe biggest and happiest news of all is that we’re going to have a BABY!!! Yup, so that’s part of the reason I’ve been MIA~~ I’ve been toughing out morning sickness. The baby is due at the beginning of 2009!
Bella is going to be a big sister!

oh wow! congratulations skippee! lots of wonderful things happening in your life <3
Congrats!!!!!
*Cannot stop smiling*
Congrats on passing your real estate exam, retiring from the law firm…and having a baby!
I am so excited for you guys
Awwwww take care and best wishes!
YAYYYYY!!!! Congratulations!!!!!
omg, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know you’ve been wanting to become a mommy. Hopefully your morning sickness isn’t too bad and will be gone soon.
Yay for quitting the firm too!
OMG yay !!!!! ^___^ im so happy that good things are happening to you …*CONGRATS on your baby news!!!* =) and also congrats on starting alll the things that you wanted to do before ^____^ yay ~ !
yay you finally made the big baby post! hehe congrats again!!!!! (thanks for the outlet vip thing!!! you’re the best!!)
OMG~ Congratulations!!! That’s a wonderful news on the baby! And the other two also. I’m so proud of you for leaving your law career to discover and pursue something you enjoy! Life is too short to be wasting on something you don’t love, y’know? I’m hoping to encourage my hubby to get a formal training in becoming a baker/pastry chef. It’s something he loves…so why not leave his bean-counting job to do that y’know? He thinks he’s too old for it, but I think he’s still very young, I mean, nobody’s too old to do what they love! Haha, congrats on passing real estate exam too! Lots and lots of great things going on over there! Sorry about your morning sickness, my close friend is finally over her terrible morning sickness phase. (She’s due end of this year) She’s an attorney, but she owns her own firm so he’s already training someone to fill in for her when she’s out being a mommy.
What! I can’t believe you’re having a baby! You were talking about it before…then voila! Hooray!
Congratulations!!! All such great news! I’m so thrilled for you, especially on the last item

OMG~ CONGRATS Skippee!!! Wow, I slightly teared up when I read your news! I’m soo happy for you~ Words cannot express how wonderful the whole experience can be..(once you’re over the morning sickness of course! i had it real bad too.) As a new mom, I can’t wait to hear about your pregnancy experiences from here on out!
Yay, for quitting the firm! For some reason it doesn’t seem like you. Seems to stuffy and rigid for someone who has so much creativity and joy to share with others… =) Sounds like your life is doing a 180..exciting times!!
Yay! CONGRATULATIONS! You know, I also kind of had a weird feeling you might be, or would be soon!
congrats!!
congrats!!! how exciting!
Congrats! Hope the morning sickness gets better, for me the first trimester was the hardest. After that the morning sickness went away and it wasn’t too bad after that. Has Bella started to get protective? I read where dogs will do that, but my dog never did. She’s still a daddy’s girl.
Congratulations~! Happy 9 months~!
hey, i just emailed you! i’m so so happy for you for all of your wonderful news…can’t wait for the little bub to arrive..we can hang out and breastfeed together. haha btw ~ did teresa make that cupcake? it looks so dang yummy. i’m salivating here.
CONGRATULATIONS and good luck to you in your life changes!
YAY! That’s so exciting ^_______^ Congrats and I can’t wait to see your pictures
So many exciting things happening in your life! A) I think it’s awesome that you got your broker’s license! Joe has been suggesting that I do the same thing! B) You’re starting off on a brand new adventure! Life is too short to not pursue the things that make us happiest. And of course you are the type of person who really wants to make a difference in the lives of others – 2 legged and 4 legged.
C) This is incredibly exciting news! CONGRATULATIONS! No doubt you’re embarking on your biggest adventure yet with a baby on the way and I can’t wait to hear all about it! You’re going to make a fabulous mommy! And I still can’t wait to see all the pictures and hear about your trip to Bali. We need to meet up in person sometime!
