One Month Anniversary Living in DC

So - how has the last month been?
Crazy. Exhausting. Exciting. Lonely. Fun. Stressful. Confusing. Frustrating. Exhilarating.
I spent today unpacking....again. As of today - our printer is hooked up and our computer cabinet is finally organized! Woo hoo! I also finished loading the pictures to the August 1st post...."Backtracking through the summer" ...be sure and scroll down to that post or click on the link at the right to see my favorite "Gangsta Girl"!

Also, if you haven't read about how we came to be in DC, you can either scroll down to the post, "Genesis of this Journey", or click on the link at your right!

Here are a few moments from the last month:


We visited the capitol buildings last week before Luther flew home. It is hard to believe we only live about 15 blocks from here!






Joyce and Luther got to go tour the White House last week with our friend Floyd. I am jealous - but happy for them! We couldn't go b/c our appointment was booked for a Saturday night and that is a night that Brad works/trains. Hopefully we will get to go soon! Can't wait!

Arlington Cemetery. If you look closely you can see the Washington Monument over Brad's shoulder. We were standing in front of Robert E. Lee's house at AC.

Mia at the Lincoln Memorial.

Our first Sunday here in DC we attended the location (our church here at NCC has 4 locations) where Joel and Shauna Oswald attend. Joel and Shauna were one of the couples that were in our travel group when we went to China. Both of our families adopted little girls from the same orphanage in Guangdong Province. Kylee and Mia are 8 days apart in age...and this is the first time they had been together since we left China over a year ago! What a small world that we are now living not too far from them and even working with the church that they attend!
