Where am I now?

Here is a hint...

Don't worry it took me awhile to learn all the monuments too...

And just a little FYI- The lights are never ALL green.

So now you know you can find me strolling down the streets with a book in tow in our nations capitol. Since leaving Vegas I have always dreamt of going back to a big city. I wouldnt have personally picked DC BUT, this place has really shown some perspective and for that I am really starting to value this beautiful life I live! It is quite humorous really. Everyday is a new pick up line in a language I do not know. Seriously- the mexicans love me! The bums love me on payday--any other day I am just in their way.

I live in a MANSION!! (Well atleast it used to be one)

My 'apartment' is an old luxurious mansion that was broken down into mini quarters and broken down some more...and some more. Presently, I am residing here with my boyfriend of 4 years, Tom. Gotta give a shout out to Tom boy! We were fortunate enough to find this place last minute on 16th street in Columbia Heights. Which, from what I heard use to be called, 'ghetto'. So here we are living in the basement...yes, the basement level of this 'mansion' paying wayyyy to much for what they are call a one bedroom suite. I tell ya...those marketing people are super good at what they do. I have posted some pictures below. At first we thought the place was great. That was until around 6 a.m when the garbage truck pulled up to my window and... then the recycling truck pulled up about an hour later. (Going green is costing me my beauty sleep). Luxury living isnt so luxurious when your window is right next to the dumster/recycler. Darn. I will have to rethink the location on my next apartment excursion.

from the outside... The Kitchen I am never in...

Thats my LITTLE living room and................... the One Bedroom 'suite

If you are not familiar with DC I highly recommend you venture here one day to visit and experience this crazy life. Who would of thought you could live and learn all at the same time. Here are a few of my experiences along the way.

Washington Monument






Thats THE White House and the Air and Space Smithsonian

Where did the inspiration to start a blog come from??


It is actually a little silly and sentimental all at the same time. So I was sitting at this Murder Mystery Dinner in Arlington, VA to celebrate my 25th birthday. At the table sat Tom, myself and 7 teeny boppers. Like, hardcore teeny boppers. I bet if I started talking Robert Pattinson, Twilight, Gossip Girl, MTV, all that jazz I would have fit right in. What is worse is I love everything I just listed haha. Anyways, these girls were crackberry addicts. They talked through text. SERIOUSLY! It gave me a good chuckle. They were so focused on some guy who broke up with some girl and yadda yadda yadda. It got me thinking about all of my friends and how I have fallen out of touch with a lot of people who mean so much to me.
