Work party in the woods

Today we had a work meeting at Tyson's Corner, Virginia. It was actually awesome, and I got recognized and won an award for doing a good job, yahoo! Then we went over to a nearby park to BBQ and eat and play. My boss grilled Moroccan burgers like a champ, and not 1 hour later it was POURING rain. We rain to our cars, but I got soaked. Fun day.

Plus, Collin got a well-paying-month-long gig through the temp agency. I can't help but think that this is so right for us right now, and that Heavenly Father has something amazing in store for our future...

FRAMES!

5+ months later we've finally unpacked the last box and unwrapped the last picture. It was kind of awesome to see them all laid out on the ground. PLUS we have about 6 large framed pictures/pieces of art. Lots of stuff to hang! We hope to get it and everything done before my family gets here next Wednesday the 30th.

NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHH!!!!! Yay!!!!!! Mom, Dad, Joe, AJ! (David, Sneek and Mickey in spirit)

Friday night we BBQed in the backyard with neighbors, Tais & Rob.

This IS the best burger I've EVER EVER EVER HAD. Every part of it contributed to the deliciousness.

s'mores by coals? not so great.

We finished the night with CLUE! I WON!

Next morning, BRIGHT & EARLY! We celebrated the Washington DC Stake 70th Anniversary by cleaning up the National Mall. I started off the morning by stepping in vomit at the metro, but by 1pm, we were eating apples and heath bars, mmmmm.

Simply Limeade and Raspberry Lemonade popsicles. TO DIE FOR!

Alright! I'm off to GIRL'S CAMP tomorrow! I'm exited/nervous as I LOVED Girl's Camp growing up and went all 6 years but also seeing as how that was LONG LONG AGO, in a galaxy FAR FAR away. Wish me luck! I'll miss you Smith! You and those runnin' dreams.
