I feel like a true DMV resident now!

I was quoted in The Washington Post..! :)

National Christmas Tree!

Last night BD and I went to see the National Christmas Tree. It was awesome! (Click here to see photos.) I love December in DC! ^_^

Holiday cheer!

Last night, BD and I went to the National Zoo for their annual ZooLights event. It was really fun -- click here to see photos. It was very festive, and hopefully it will become a tradition for us each December :)

A very memorable Thanksgiving..!

So I just got back from New York City... Exhausted, but a great trip nonetheless. I went with BD to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It has been a childhood dream of mine, since every year I watch the parade on TV. Anyway, we took the bus last night and arrived in NYC who knows when -- I think it was around 1 a.m. or 1:30 a.m. We hung out in Penn Station until 5 a.m., when we headed over to Central Park West to camp out. We got there at around 5:30 a.m. and surprisingly there were already a ton of people lining the parade route. But thankfully we found a good spot, and then it was just a matter of waiting for approximately four hours. Although it was only 41 degrees Fahrenheit, it still felt very, very cold, and I was very, very sleepy, but ultimately, it was worth it..! Once the parade started, it was a blast! (Click here to see photos.) The highlight for me was definitely the Sesame Street float ^_^ Overall, it was a very memorable, wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

A lovely day

Wandered around the U.S. National Arboretum with BD yesterday..! It was truly wonderful. (For photos, click here.)

Not POTUS, but...

I saw Bo Obama this morning at the White House! It was quite excellent! ^_^

Oh, how time flies...

Last Halloween I was in Madrid, Spain; who would have thought that a year later I would be a graduate student at Georgetown University, carving a pumpkin with my man friend, BD? Frankly, it's a little crazy... Although I miss living abroad, I'm pretty happy with the way things have turned out since I've been back in the States -- I've found love, I'm working on getting my MA... What more could a girl ask for? :)
