Change, Change, Change

As if having another baby and moving into/remodeling a new house was not enough change for our family, Matt quit his job last Friday (or notified the firm that he will be leaving in a few weeks). Starting July 1st, he will join two of the partners he currently works with as they start a new firm - Slates and Harwell. It is exciting news and a good opportunity for Matt. Of course, it is also scary because it is a new very small law firm (the two partners, Matt and maybe one or two associates that currently work at Gardere) that is basically a start-up.  I have postponed blogging about his new venture because he has been stuck in trial and he hasn't had a lot of time to tell people and the news wasn't yet public at his current firm. In addition, most of our conversations have taken place after he gets home at midnight - so I wanted to make sure I wasn't just dreaming it all up. However, everything seems to be out in the open now and, given that Matt's trial ended today, he will soon start wrapping things up in preparation for the big move.


In other news, I got a message from Matt (while typing this blog post actually) that the jury came back and his client won their case! This is super great news. I am so glad that they got a good outcome and I am sure a lot of it is due to Matt's hard work over the last few weeks. I am so looking forward to getting my husband back - it has been a long six weeks!!
