It is fall, officially.

So.  In the past couple weeks, I've felt a little more settled into life up here.  DC is still aweshome, I'm now in my second week working with Langley School (k-8 private school where I'm an afterschool program counselor), and there's just a lot to do/ things to get involved with.  I've reached a point where I feel like I still have so much to go explore in DC, but I've now been here a month, and I'm starting to know my way around better and stuff.

All that to say, things are alright.  Now for a brief recap through pictures:

This was the first attempt made at a roomie pic.  Needless to say, we will be trying again.

The last two photos are from Becca's surprise visit to DC!  We had a picnic lunch of tomato, mozzarela, and spinach sandwiches on good, fresh french bread from La Madeleine, in Georgetown.  Sidenote: the weather's been so nice; we spent a long time just sitting by the Potomac.

Whit and I wandered to the National Cathedral one day a couple weeks back.  It was really cool walking around inside, the pictures don't really do it justice.

Well, yours truly did turn 23 a couple weeks ago.  The important thing to take away from that is the fact that Al and Whitney made me a delicious meal (and y'all know about the cake already...which was so good and despite it's appearance, only took us about 2.5 days to demolish).  They made me margaritas that were a variation from Porch Parties cookbook, because we decided to make them with mango!  Yum.  Dinner was homemade Philly Cheesesteak and baked potato wedges.  Altogether, it made such a good meal!

I'm loving reading everyone's posts and I get more and more excited about Girl's Weekend.  I love and miss y'alls.
