The United States House of Representatives

My boyfriend works in the Longworth building, well thats where his office is based, which is the size of a bathroom and has electronics stuffed inside it. I came to visit him on Friday because it was "Bring your Girlfriend to Work Day." It wasn't really but I declared it as so. It was really interesting to see my male counterpart move about from office to office solving problems as "can you fix my printer from default so I can print from another printer?" or "my blackberry's mail inbox is not coming up." I didn't realize how much he is on his feet all day. He literally probably walks about 10 miles a day from Longworth to Cannon to Rayburn. So here are a couple photos to prove the distance and one for posterity. 

Prom

My sister and I went to Prom last night at camp. Every summer the cottage girls throw a smoothie party and have a theme to it. This year's was Prom. I still believe 80's night was the best. Oh those were the days. Anyways. I'm hoping April will post some good shots from last night soon. Her hair was huge!! I didn't take my camera to the party because it was acting up like it had a demon inside of it and wouldn't let me take pictures. Here are a couple from Carrah. 

Deprivation

I think I have sleep apnea. 

The Beach

I went to Rehoboth for the weekend with Ilya. We had some good times. We sang karaoke at a gay bar. Mingled with the local yocals. Ate the best bagel sandwich in the whole world. We used our bikes to get around and I'm so glad because everywhere you wanted to park you had to pay. 

Behind the Times

I just got this book and I know that it came out awhile ago, but it is such an interesting book. I couldn't put it down last night. That means I'm putting Dead Man Walking (I told you I was behind) down until this one is finished. It was Day 2 of VBS today and my kids are so wonderful. I thought I would have trouble with the guys but they are getting along with me and the only girl in our group. Working with children helps me appreciate them even more. They're creative, courteous (most of the time), and funny. My sister got the New Pornographers cd "Challengers" last night. SO good. I ripped it last night from her. 

Read A Book! Read a Book!

You know the end of this little diddy. I went to Borders yesterday with Ilya and pointed out all the books we want to read. Good times. Then saw a life touching movie, WALL-E. It was so thought provoking and adorable at the same time. Johnny 5 meets Cast Away meets E.T.  A must see! I'm working VBS (vacation bible school) at my church this week and I'm excited to be working with little minds who have just reached the age of eight. I'm sure God will use me in ways I can't even imagine. 

New Developments

My dad said that he wants to move here if Obama becomes President. I don't believe him, but I have seen brochures on his desk. And he's also had lengthy conversations with his brother about it. I hope he does move. I think would be fun to visit my dad in New Zealand.

Also check out Ladytron's new album Velocifero. It's pretty rad and life changing.
