Paul passed the Oregon Bar!! He took the exam back in February after months and months of preparing, and the results came in yesterday after months of waiting. Congratulations Paul! Of course it comes as no big surprise to most of us that he passed. :)
To celebrate I took Paul out for dinner at Departure, a new restaurant and bar on the top floor of The Nines hotel, situated in the heart of downtown. It has a very cool retro nautical/1960s jet liner/world traveler theme... which sounds hokey, but it really isn't. I think the Willamette Week sums it up nicely: "Depending on where you stand, it looks like a near-death experience, an airliner from Dubai, a catamaran designed by Star Fleet, a Barcelona penthouse, the inside of an engine block, the Winchester Mystery House and a particularly nice bank office on the Death Star. And it is amazing."
Not to mention, they have two incredible rooftop patios overlooking almost the entire city. We had some cocktails out there before dinner, and man... this is the life. Our friends Kelly and Eric met up with us to celebrate as well (Eric is an accountant, who was also ready to celebrate tax season being over!), and after enjoying round after round of dim sum plates, we topped the night off with dessert at Pix Patisserie. Amazing.
Here are some shots of the rooftop patio:

A very fun evening indeed. We have a wave of warm weather coming up, so we're headed out to enjoy it!
Love,
Jenny (and Paul Mayo, Esquire)
