Pictures from DC!

This is a picture of the Longworth Building on Capitol Hill. I spend a lot of time at this building, Mon-Fri. 9-5.
Here is my lovely decorated room! I know, my bed isn't made, but it's kind of hard to make it when all I have is a little blanket that slides off the bed! It's where I call home though and it will have to work for a while. I just can't wait till my comforter comes in the mail!!!

For our first weekend in DC, my fellow interns and I (I would like to call them my friends!) took a trip to Gettysburg. It was a day filled of driving, walking, and lots of information. It really helps when all of your friends are braniacs and know everything about history! Love it!
Erika, Me, Blane, Mike and J.D. Here is the crew! All 5 of us at lunch before we started our tour of Gettysburg.
This is me riding a cannon! Don't worry, I didn't get bucked off!
This picture is taken at Little Round Top, the very left flank of the Union Army. Yeah, I had to ask because I had already forgot where it was!

Well, I am now in Washington, D.C. Kind of hard to believe that I actually just got up and moved out here for the rest of the year. So far, I am loving it! It is crazy to me that I ride the metro to work everyday and then work right next to the Capitol Building! I am answering phone calls, delivering mail, learning everything about Congress, and going to be giving tours. This is a once in a lifetime chance. I have made some really good friends so far and hope to make some more. My ward is extremely big, like 300 people big. Just a little different then the Branch back at home hu! Anyways, as soon as I take some pictures, I will get them uploaded so everyone can see just how cool everything is! Love it!!!
