Yeah, it's been awhile since i've decided to post, and this one won't be a long one so don't get too excited. Two days ago, I celebrated my 1 year Anniversary as a DC resident, and today was an utterly perfect example of how I have acclimated to my new life here. It was pretty much your run of the mill day, work wise, but something just kinda felt different. I love how familiar it's become, how 8 months ago I was shy and didn't know anyone, and now I'm kind of a part of the office dynamic. I love absolutely everyone I work with. I realized today, walking home from our offices first softball game, that there hasn't been a day at work where someone there didn't make me laugh so hard that it hurt. We have so much fun, sometimes it really doesn't feel like work at all.
As most of you guys know, I haven't made my assimilation without looking back. I go to NJ a lot, so much that my friends down here think I'm nuts, but I really can't help that I want to see my friends, as often as I can while we're all still settled in the same geographic areas. This weekend is Steiny's pool party, which i'm looking forward to, mostly because i get to see Mel, who I haven't seen in 8 months. I highly recommend that we don't do that again. It was a really dumb idea.
I don't know what else to day except I'm extremely happy. Happier then I was last year at this time, unable to see what the future would bring, and less than thrilled with the new city I was residing in. I've also lost nearly 35lbs since then as well. I feel much better overall, and just amazingly grateful for what I've been given. I hope I will not blow it.
later chicos

I miss Rachel! If we don't see you when you're up here, I know there are DC plans in the works, although I don't know when yet. I will find you though. There will be hugging. Prepare yourself.
