I started moving in today. My shoes are here now, so I feel complete...

Leah flies out tomorrow. Tonight we watched Baby Mama and ate rainbow colored sorbet.

Beautiful afternoon in the sun.

Went to the Basilica at Catholic University for Saturday mass

Ran a 5k race. Finished third among the ladies. Won two plants.

Jason came to visit

Dropped off in Chinatown this morning so I could take the yellow line to the Fort Totten station for service learning.

Fled school so that I could get my research paper finished in the quiet of Alexandria.
Stretching after a run.

I couldn't have described the city better in words:

the first thing I saw this morning

lunch with Savannah

Reading in bed after an 8 hour long research paper stint.

Making biscuits.

We built puzzles and played with blocks while Mommie and Daddy went to dinner and a tennis match.

An afternoon in a hammock.

Union Station was sunny and warm on my last day of work this semester.
Why yes, Phyllis, that cup of coffee will surely quench your thirst.

My adopted room at Maddie and Brantley's is ocean themed. I move in for the summer in two weeks!My night light

Mandi and I walking back from work on 7th - a new route for us.

My childhood classics.

She loved finding the plastic eggs Milan and I hid for her.

It may have been a 30 degree, super windy day...but Jesus Christ has risen and is alive!

Grams' flowers.

sometimes I feel like my life is dictated by glowing orange numbers. a very welcome guest!

Ellen enjoying Union Station - I forget what a treat it is to be there every morning. Today, 1.1 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water...and yet it is so easy to take for granted the blessing of a glass of tap water. http://www.bloodwatermission.com/

Brantley dropped Ellen and I off in historic Alexandria today. We went to "bread and chocolate" for lunch, and then sat on the edge of the pier and watched the river taxi come in.
