I have been pretty excited about this spring — and it’s not just that springtime on the east coast is beautiful (though it is) and that the days are getting longer (though I love that too), this is the first spring since I finished undergrad three years ago that I will remain in the same [...]

surprise!

Last weekend, my litter sister, Kelly, flew to DC and completely surprised me for my birthday. She and Dan had been in cahoots. I am amazed by how many people were able to keep it a surprise. I came out of my building after work on Friday expecting to see Dan and was shocked by [...]

Dan and I have been making the rounds on some of the tourist destinations in DC. We started getting a feel for our neighborhood early on — which took us to the (outside of) the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. Since then we have been trying to hit a few other sites every couple of weeks. So far, we have been to the National Museum of American History, the U.S. National Arboretum, The National Building Museum, the National Sculpture Garden, the National Gallery of Art (West Building), The National Air and Space Museum, the Christmas display at the U.S. Botanical Garden, the (outside of) the White House and the Ellipse to see the National Christmas Tree, the Japanese Lantern and First Cherry Tree Planting, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, and the National Zoo.

I am a naturally cynical person — a quality professors have alternately admired and found impossible. I chuckled out loud on the metro when I read on twitter, “Winter storm watch. If you’re new to DC, protocol is to wreck your car while racing out to buy bottled water & canned canned goods.” Yesterday, as [...]

People have been clamoring for pictures of our place. We spent weeks ordering furniture and hours building it. But slowly we have emptied our apartment of ALL of the boxes and taken some pictures (though admittedly one box full mostly of duplicated kitchen equipment is just in the car waiting to be taken to a [...]
