Our Last Month in Review

This last month was exceptionally busy for us, and I want to apologize for not doing a good job of keeping up with people, replying to emails, etc. I hope to be better at this as we get settled into life here in DC.

Needless to say, it's been a whirlwind of a month, and our time in DC thus far has been the same. We've been here a week now. Last Friday I unpacked while Ryan worked on a paper. Saturday was spent running errands. Almost all day Sunday was spent at church. Monday through Thursday I worked while Ryan was at his internship, and we haven't gotten home before 10:00pm this week. There's been lots going on, but we're really enjoying it. We even got to tour the West Wing Wednesday night, which I'll write more about later.
