Dear Sweet Family from Detroit we met in DC,
Thank you so much for noticing us standing with our lunch trays frantically looking for a place to sit and waving us over to sit with you. And thank you for being forward and gutsy enough to come right out and ask us if we were Mormon, we knew you were thinking it when we said we were from SLC and your approach was refreshing. Eating lunch with you was one of the high lights of our very stressful trip!
Dear Cute Guy at Barns and Noble,
Thank you for steeping aside and holding the door for me even though you were with your very attractive girl friend and it would have been all to easy to just keep walking. Your mother raised you right!
Dear Nice Lady in our* Weight Loss Class,
Thank you Thank you Thank you for telling me my hair was cute - it is the one thing that I am majorly self conscious about. And Thank you Thank you Thank you for telling me I look like a ballerina!
*I was there helping a coworker
Dear Dude in the Black Pick Up Truck,
Why would you hang a giant plastic scrotum (aka - balls) from the hitch on your truck? Are you compensating for something? Because that is what we women think when we see that; this is just a guess but I am betting you don't have a girlfriend, but then maybe I'm wrong. After all nothing says: well educated, handsome, polite, all around good guy who happens to be great in bed like giant testicles on the hitch of a truck. I'm sure your mother is just so proud!
Our New Hood
900 N Randolph St., Arlington (Ballston Neighborhood) Virginia
As of August 21st this will be home - looks ghetto right?
away we go
We are off to Washington, DC in the morning to find an apartment and for a job interview. So send some positive thoughts in our direction!
No worries friends and fam this is not good bye we will be back in a week.
"Kids" BBQ
Saturday was the annual "Kids" BBQ in Springville, UT. This is where a group of high school friends gets together every year for a mini reunion and to celebrate their super coolness. Lucky for me these awesome people let me hang out with them in high school and now they can get rid of me.
me, heidi, & mel
Now you may think your BBQs are cool but do they include a concert by Viewers Like You - the coolest band in Cash County and all of Utah for that matter?
Viewers Like You - Jer, Mike, Devin, Chris, and Trumpet Dude

Attitude Adjustment in Progress
Things don't suck so bad after all...
I still don't have a job in DC but that is ok, I will eventually...I do rock after all!
I am loving my new mini laptop, its fast, little, and cute - lets name him Gus!
I am starting to get excited for our scouting trip to DC but I am a little nervous about my hair and the humidity. I am also starting to get really excited to discover a whole new city with LB - if you have recommendations for things to see, do, and eat while in DC let me know!
I am still working on selling all of my personal belonging - does anyone need a washer, dryer, bed, mattress, desk, dresser, kitchen table, microwave, TV, tv stand, etc.? Let me know I will give you a great price!!!!
I also want to say thanks for all your words of encouragement left after my last post - thanks for loving me friends, heaven knows I don't always deserve it!
Sucks........
-job hunting sucks especially when you are perfectly happy and content and fulfilled with your current perfect job
-moving sucks and the need to see everyone that you possibly can before you can never see them again
-saying goodbye to your best friend who lives in Texas that you won't see for like 4 years really really sucks
-selling all of your personal belonging because they won't fit in the back of your piece of #!*@ VW Jetta sucks (don't by a VW even if it is the last car company not being bailed out by the government and they are selling cars for a penny - get a bike instead it will be more reliable or try walking)
-seeing children sunday after sunday fighting cancer really sucks even if its a church calling and the kids are amazing little angles
-working every single night of the week and on saturday sucks, even when you love your job
-needing a attitude adjustment really sucks
