I am sooo sorry!  So much goes on here that I have been very lax with my journal.  I will try to update you much more often.  Let's see...

I have dating a wonderful man, Ben.  Normally, I don't mention men but we've done so much stuff together it would be hard not to!

Despite the insane amounts of snow, we've managed to get out and about quite a bit.  One weekend Ben and I went to watch the planes take off from Reagan--they literally fly right aout you!  for President's Day we ate at this lovely place called Vermillion, and on Valentine's Day Ben and I had dinner with his parents.

Recently, I got to see John Mayer!  That was a great day, involving some seriously awesome sushi and ski ball.  The concert was great-John Mayer played for about 2.5 hours and performed extremely well.  It was also my first time to the Verizon center and in Chinatown, which I wasn't too impressed with.  Seattly and San Francisco have much more impressive Chinatowns.

I have started an alernative work schedule where I work eight 9 hour days, one 8 hour day and get every other Friday off.  My first Friday off is this Friday, in fact, so I'm looking forward to getting som eerrands done.  I believe I will also be helping Ben move, as he has to be out of his apartment this weekend.

Last night I caught up with some old friends from Walla Walla who were in town for training.  We had beer at Murphy's and chatted about things back home.  It was nice to see a familiar face!

Not much news in terms of life events.  I will be flying home with Ben on Memorial Day weekend, May 27-31.  We are so excited and have quite a lot on our agenda for the few short days we'll be home.  I would love to see everyone, and we felt the best way to do so would be a BBQ at mom's house so pencil it in.  Also, Buggy visists me here by herself April 01-05, and I am super excited to show her DC.  Also, my car is coming soon!
