I may not be as busy as my dear friend Jenny (my prayers are with you girl) but I have been pretty active lately! I started the month with a trip to Lynchburg, VA with Megan and Lucas. Megan grew up there and Lucas went to college at Liberty which is located there. So we spent several days checking out the town, visiting Megan's family, seeing some of Lucas's old friends and even did a little hiking! Upon returning to Fredericksburg, I worked, took an ACLS course (required for my job) and worked some more! There was a little bit of playtime in there, dinner with Megan and then a couple of hours on the playground with Lucas! Last night he and I went to DC and had a very late night bike ride - we left around midnight and I dropped him off at 0430! It was such a great night...no traffic and very few tourists (I think we saw 5 people, not counting security guards) so it felt like we had the National Mall to ourselves! I'll post a few pictures after I finish rambling!! I work the next 5 out of 6 days, have a few days off, work my three days and then get to go home for a visit! I'm very excited to get to see everyone and meet my new niece! After that, I will return to Fredericksburg to work for a couple of weeks and then go to California for my friend Kelley's wedding! I'm excited to go but very sad for the day to come because when I return to Fredericksburg, Lucas and Megan will be gone! I hate to admit it but I miss them already! I'm hoping to be able to work enough that I won't get too lonely plus I definitely plan to take a train ride to wherever they end up (either New York or Boston). It is unbelievable how cheap and fast the train ride will be. I have only checked into NY but that is a 5-6 hour ride costing less than $100. Hooray for cheap travel!! Okay - here are some pictures!
This is me on the peak of Sharp Top which is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Chillin' with George Mason!
Jefferson Memorial - my favorite!

Korean War Memorial - my second favorite - you have to see this one in the dark, it totally changes the tone!

The facial expressions are amazing...you can almost feel what they are thinking!
For those of you that have Myspace or Facebook - there are many more pictures should you be interested!!

What beautiful mountains behind a beautiful girl! I really like the Jefferson monument, too; it's where I first saw his quote about the past as prologue. I'm so glad you're having fun adventures, and I hope you have a GREAT time on your upcoming trips!
Stephanie -
You are BEAUTIFUL! I love it when you post pictures!
It looks like the trip was a lot of fun. Yeah for a few days of relaxation.
