Dear friends from everywhere

I have been very blessed to have wonderful amazing friends. Some of them have been in my life for 26 years, some for 10, some for a couple and some just a few months. Each place I live you care for me, listen to me, share your heart with me, and make a lasting impression on my life. I sincerely think about you often. I wish I kept better contact, but I do think of you and love you. There are people in Phoenix and Utah that I haven't seen in 6 months to a year or more, but I still feel close to you. Don't forget about me. I'm so thankful for friends.

I know that about 5 people read this, but it goes out to you.

PS. Dear friend, Natalie, daughter Madeleine, and I went and got some cupcakes yesterday.

Like mother, like daughter

D.A.R. women represent.

Yumm. Chocolate PB chip

Little M was teaching this doll to go potty. Good job. :)

Ps. I love the doll.

It's been pretty rainy romantic out lately.

I've joined the D.A.R. Daughters of the American Revolution.
Okay, this didn't exactly come about just by moving to DC. My mom is an American Patriot through and through and has been trying to get me in for years. You have to have substantial evidence of a BLOOD relative who fought in the American Revolution, and my mom finally found Benjamin Conger, from New Jersey, through my father's line. PHEW. Mom is still working on getting herself in. So since I'm getting inducted in this weekend, and the National Headquarters and museum are here in the city, Collin and I thought we'd check it out. It was actally really amazing! These women have devoted their lives to Eduation, Historical Preservation, Patriotism, and service! I'm getting pretty excited about the Continental Congress this July. You get to dress up in formal gowns and be Fancy. Lorelai would think I'm lame, but Rory, you'd understand wouldn't you? Collin gets to be a HODAR Husbands of the D.A.R. Hehe.

Another fun day of being an American. Here's me in front of the White house. It is smaller than I thought, but it's awesome. Hi Obama daughters.

This is the awesome scary building Collin had a meeting in. U.S. Commerce.

IN EVEN BETTER NEWS: We've bought 3 colors of paint and've started painting our place!!!!! We eat, sleep and pee paint. Seriously.

Never wasting time.
