I wish there were something exciting going on in my life that I needed to report (i.e. graduation, engagement, new job, moving...), but there's not. But... if it makes you all feel better, I've kind of taken a 2-month hiatus on my other blog as well and decided that maybe it was time to start coming out of my winter-induced hermitage.
Ah, spring in Washington D.C. The Cherry Blossom Festival was beautiful, the azaleas at the National Arboretum are blossoming, but sadly the nice 70 degree weather is already quickly leaving. My roommates turned on the AC today when it hit about 90 outside. I'm also discovering that teachers get spring fever as much as the students do. Everyone's itching to be out for the summer - I just need to figure out what I'm doing with my summer. Any suggestions? Anyone want to come travel with me? Some friends and I are also on a quest to explore DC even more - lately we've visited the Arboretum, Fredericksburg (VA), an old LDS chapel (that actually used to have a Moroni on top) that has been converted into a Unification Church building, and saw the luminaries at Antietam battlefield. Plenty of more adventures are planned for this summer (you know, just in case anyone wants to come join me!)
For some reason I was under the delusion that a college degree and a job meant that I had my life all figured out, but it turns out that there are plenty more decisions to make. I would really like to go to graduate school (shooting for Fall 2010), but I'm still not entirely sure what I want to study / where I want to go. So that's another current project: figuring out my life.
Here are a couple pics from our family's spring break vacation to the Caribbean.

I love you all!
