Since my last post:

Things we have done:

I started a new job at Onsite Health. I am in the finance department at the corporate headquarters. Who knew one day I'd be doing accountant stuff? It's just three blocks away from our apartment which I love.

Evan started his job at BCG. Only two business trips so far, so it's been nice having him around most of the time.

Lots of double dating with Torrey and Justin. Annapolis, Kind street, backyard BBQs etc. Love them.

Trip to Philly with David Trichler to watch the US soccer team play Turkey in their last game before the world cup. They won 2-1. We sat in the crazy fan section with the drums and horns and beer splashing. Very interesting experience.

Trip to PA with BCG for three days. Very fancy hotel, good food. 70's dance party with 200 of Evan's coworkers. Very cool costumes. And bunch of bigwigs in green polyester. Nice.

Lot's of walks in Arlington cemetery. It's nearby so on Sundays we bike over and walk for an hour or two. Beautiful, nice, peaceful place to be.

I started reading Eat, Pray, Love and Evan has read a lot more than me but the last one he finished was Romney's "No Apology"

Evan surprised me with a subscription to "O" magazine. I love him and I love Oprah.

Bike rides into the district. Last one was to the American History Museum. I love DC.

Our pool opened on our rooftop. Lots of laying out and reading up there. I love the sun and have my Thailand tan back.

Lots of great restaurants. My fave dinner place was on U street. I forgot the name but it's right across from Ben's Chili Bowl. Another fav is biking to the corner bakery for breakfast and having the cinnamon rolls. Yummy.

Went to Eastern Market for the first time with Nikki.

Spent a Saturday with my cousin Steph who recently moved out here at the Library of Congress.

We got called to be nursery leaders. Gives church a whole new meaning.

I (recently) started running every day. Have usually hated running and avoided it at all costs, but running on a treadmill in an air conditioned room while listening to Jack Johnson makes it a lot more bearable.

Started a little garden with David in Torrey's backyard.

Got a wonderful assistant at work. He is a BYU sophomore working here for the summer. Nice kid.

We purchased a Gliding Bench (or whatever it's called) for our balcony. Enjoy spending a lot of time on that reading, eating, and watching sunsets.

We are in the last season of West Wing. Life as we know it will soon be over. What will happen next?




Five things I want to do in June:

Go to a Bikram Yoga class together (right now Evan does yoga with me every Sunday, but I think Bikram would be more intense)

Learn to cook one more kind of meal to add to our regular menu.

Get some more plants for our house.

Have Torrey and Justin over.

Play more tennis.
