Jury’s over and we are back from Maui!

I didn't realize till Erik pointed it out, but I forgot to update my blog after Jury Duty was over. It lasted for a week, including deliberations which took a whole day. At the end, we were able to come to a unanimous decision about each of the six charges that had been brought against the defendant, and the trial was successfully concluded.

Then I had one tiny week to get caught up on all of my work before flying out to join Alberto in Maui! He was there for a total of six weeks – Feb 8 to March 22. My plan was to join him the last week of his stay, from March 15 to March 22. We had lots of things planned, and I was ecstatic about taking some much needed time off!

I am going to start posting excerpts from my journal for each of the days that I was in Maui. About one a day, and it will include photos, since we took almost 400!!

Maui was awesome and I am elated to be able to share some our experiences with you here. Stay tuned…

Natasha will be on a jury!

I'll get the opportunity to serve on a jury for the first time in my life. I have been called for jury duty three times since moving to California, but have never actually been seated. Today was different - it seemed like fate that I would have to sit. I was called to be sent to the first available trial of the day, I was one of the first to be called to the jury box, and I ended up remaining one of the few original people to be in the box at the end of the day.

I am very curious to see how this goes, though I really hope it won't be too boring! The trial is expected for 10 days, so who know if my attention span can hold out! :)

It's a good thing I have some people working with me on BPI, since I'll be out of pocket for a while. eP will have to settle for me playing catchup at night.
