mysanantonio.comWhere I Live: Castle Hills
Out of law school, my husband found a job through a friend from school at Thomas J. Henry Injury Attorneys. We were pregnant together twice, running our own law firm, and it was the best support system I could ask for. Castle Hills is just outside the city limits, so its close enough that we still feel like were part of everything. Turmoil at Castle Hills City Hall was recently a big concern too and still is to a lesser extent. I love having friends and family over, and the house is big enough to fit everyone comfortably.
