June 2008 Update

Can you believe this July, it will already be 1/2 a year of marriage for Bob and I? My, how time flies!!!
This past month has been a rough one, as Bob has been in California, working as an intern for one of the top talent agencies in Beverly Hills. He's been working 12 hrs/day, 5 days/week. He's ALWAYS been such a dedicated and hard worker. I admire that about him. During his internship, he's been able to meet the agent for Harrison Ford and had to deliver a package to Jamie-Lynn Sigler (the actress "Meadow" on the hit series, The Sopranos). He was so excited, as he LOVED that show! When he returns to DC, he has an AWESOME opportunity to work on the McCain campaign. He's had a few different offers. Please pray for God guidance on which offer to take.

While Bob has been away, my whole family came to DC to visit me. SO MUCH FUN!!! Oh, how I MISSED EVERYONE (10 total family members visited) and I can't believe how fast my 4 nephews have grown up!!! Such precious boys!! And one more baby boy on the way!!
I don't think my family was expecting to do so much walking. The first full day they were here, we did the tourist stuff- walked the National Mall (5 miles round trip); checking out the National Monuments (U.S. Capitol, Washington Monument, War Memorials, Lincoln Memorial). My poor dad had a horrible blister on his toe by the end of the day. But the kiddos did GREAT, probably because they were pushed in strollers the whole time, LUCKY!!! I think the fam is use to hopping in their cars to get to places. NOT HERE IN DC!!! You want to go somewhere, you walk or walk to the metro. They'd ask "how much further?" and I'd say "just a few more blocks." Well a "few blocks" is more like a mile. I guess I'm just use to walking everywhere.
While here, we were able to take a day trip to New York. Definitely different than DC. We all loved the big lights and busy life. I'm so glad to live in DC though. The life here is so much more relaxed and CLEAN!! NY, not so much!

It was DEFINITELY HARD to say goodbye to the family. I love my family so dearly and was thankful they were all able to come see my life for a few days.
Next to come visit.... my wonderful mother-in-law, Pam... YEA :) She'll be here July 1-8. And my hubby finally comes home to me July 2nd!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!! We all get to celebrate the 4th of July together and are taking a dinner cruise on the Potomac River while Pam's here. It'll be lots of fun!!

This summer seems to be full of vacations!! With my family here, then Pam, and a Charles vacation in San Diego in August. Hey, I can't complain! Who doesn't love vacations????
It just means I have to work EXTRA hard at work (don't worry, I'm allowed all this time off).

Work is going well! I have received a promotion and now am an Associate Director of Law School Development. What does that mean? I work with Law School Alumni and try to get them to donate their big bucks to the law school. Luckily, I work at the top 20 law school's, where most of the alumni are very successful and love donating to a school that has given them such great opportunities. It's A LOT of work, but I love the challenge! I'm working on 5 big projects now and am constantly on the go! I love the busy work!!!
