Overdue Update

i cannot believe i've been working for almost 2 1/2 weeks now! life in arlington is still going really well...two weekends ago, i went to PA for alex's mom's birthday. he drove up from the burg friday afternoon, we baked her a chocolate cake (best way to avoid traffic ever!), and then we drove up to his house. the weekend was great; we went to a huge craft fair with his dad (his mom was working unfortunately) and ate french fries and funnel cakes and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. sunday, we just hung out at his house and relaxed, which was a welcome change of pace from work.

as far as work goes, i've officially been placed on a project at the coast guard! it's a fun place to work, and everyone seems relaxed (most of the time). referring to my supervisors as commanders or lieutenants definitely takes a little getting used to, and my team (there's just three of us) is still working out the dynamics, but so far it's keeping me busy.

this weekend, jennie and kate were here staying at our apartment, and we had so much fun. friday we got to see christina and celebrate her birthday. saturday we went to allison's wedding and sunday we went to the zoo! it was a very full, but very fulfilling weekend :)
