Another week gone by! I can't believe how fast it is going. That's ok, cause even though I am having a blast out here in DC, I miss my family and home so much. I have a lot of pictures to add again. Last Saturday, us girls went shopping in Georgetown. I wish I had a lot of money to buy everything that I wanted there cause I loved it all! I had to resist a lot, but I did buy a couple of things. I have done so much this past week! Monday was FHE, Tuesday was Institute, Wednesday was ice cream night, Thursday was Sushi, Friday was Imax theater, and the Saturday was our ward BBQ. Holy cow something every night, plus working all day! My journal is going to be chuck full by the time I get home:) Today I went on an adventure by myself. Everyone else took a car trip so I decided to go do some sight seeing myself. I ran along the Mt. Vernon Trail and took it into DC and went and saw the museums. The animal museum was the coolest. Not much of an art looker! I did a lot of walking and wore myself out thats for sure! Here are some pictures of this weeks events!

This is the view just right before I crossed the bridge. It is definately prettier when it's dark.
This is the WWII Memorial. Idaho and Utah happened to be right next to each other so it was a picture worth taking right!


The notorius White House!
This was taken at the Smithsonian Museum. It's my sister from anothe mister! Don't we look like twins! ha ha

Wow it's been a crazy couple of weeks! It's hard to find time (and the internet because my apartments won't let me hook my laptop up at my apartment) to post everything. I have just been working away here in DC. I ride the metro to work everyday and I feel like a real city girl, even though I would trade it all for the country! I miss the mountains and I get so lost without them!!! Congress is now back in session and my job is a little more intense. I still answer phones, deliver and sort mail, print faxes, you know the normal office work, but to add on to that, I am taking people on tours of the Capitol, attending briefings (which I have no idea what they are talking about) and doing whatever the Legislative Staff needs me to do. I am learning so much just being in the office. I love it! I just hope I can remember it all and become smarter!!! So here are just a few more pictures of what has been going on during this adventure in DC!

Mike, Me, Erika, and J.D. posing so cute in front of Abe Lincoln!


This is me standing in front of the Vietnam Memorial. On Labor Day we went and saw all the sites around DC. It was an extremely hot day, but it was really fun seeing everything around me.

Me and some ducks in front of the Relecting Pool. This always reminds me of Forest Gump!

One of the saturdays, there was a tropical storm warning because of Hannah. They weren't lying when they said to stay inside because even with an umbrella, I was soaked to the bone! This is in front of the Washington Masonic Museum. It is my favorite museum so far!


Hey it's the Jackson's room! We are famous.

Me and George. Don't we look cute!
