brief (verb): to give essential information to
A brief in terms of law typically describes a document presented at trial to defend something. For us, it could mean lots of things: the amount of time we have to clean the apartment, the amount of free time Danny will have away from the books, the amount of sanity I have left after a day with preschoolers, or the amount of regurgitated law I (Meg) can understand. Briefings, as used in our blog title, means to us that we will share tidbits of our life. Our thoughts, our experiences, our growth, our new knowledge, our pastimes, and our ideas will be posted here. In some ways the blog is for us to express ourselves and keep in touch, but it is also a way for us to inspire others.
To some getting married, starting a new job (with preschoolers mind you), moving to a new city, and starting law school within a two months span sounds crazy/insane/stupid. But to us, it just made perfect sense. We are thankful to have the Lord's guidance and blessing in the whirlwind of these changes. Danny and I are excited about our future. You may look at the first three years of our marriage and see struggles, but we know it will be a time of growth. Danny will learn all he can of law to become a lawyer after God's heart. I will pour my heart and passion into the hearts and minds of preschoolers while keeping myself occupied during Danny's long hours of studying by crafting and cooking. We look forward to sharing the essentials of our life with you...
