Training

Today is Monday and the start of our jobs! Last week we completed training which I wasn't able to blog about because I could not get a good internet connection. The following pictures will show all I learned during training.



I learned that after a hard day of training, you need a good stretch and a good pose.


After a hard day of training, you should take a stroll through a sweet little neighborhood with bright blue houses.
And after a hard day of training, the best thing you can do for yourself is explore who you really are and find your destined calling.

Blast from the Past


This was Memorial Day in D.C. My roommates and I walked all over the nation's capital. We climbed stairs, saw the Fathers, climbed trees, saw fishermen, and a lot of hot dog stands. We sweat in places we didn't know we could - and I'm not just talking about famous marble memorials that require our utmost respect.
Our favorite memorial was that of FDR's. He hated war. He also that the most important thing we could do as Americans is to maintain hope and service for all.

Eat, drink, and be merry and be good, too

Sorry, I've been gone for a while. I've had a busy past couple of days believe it or not. I, myself, am having a hard time believing it especially since I haven't even started my internship yet. Tuesday is the start of our Pre-service Training, a.k.a. PST. This next week should be fun and busy.
My roommates came yesterday, Heather and Liz. Three more will come later this week, so there will be 6 of us in this fancy apartment. They are very nice, very talented girls. It's always little bit funny to start living with people all of a sudden, but I think things will be fine.
I put my foot down on the whole recycling thing, so that's good.
Church was awesome today. These aren't just BYU student wards anymore. These are D.C. doctorate student wards, or YSA's making lots of money already. This is going to be quite the experience.
So what I really want to blog about is what I made for dinner the other night:
a little caprese salad with fresh basil and yummyyummybread and flax bran muffins.
a few days later, my mouth is still watering over this.
