I just posted tons of pics on my facebook profile and will soon be adding to my blog but I just want to write about some of my favorite times of the day here in Washington DC...

1) commuting to work and feeling like a professional. I love to check out what all the ladies are wearing. I also love to zip past people because it makes me feel like a local. People ask me directions and I can help them.

2) lunchtime. I work in a very professional part of town. Everyone around me is a professional on their lunch break so it makes me feel like a professional on my lunch break. Though I often feel like the youngest person around. And though I'm surrounded by people, it feels kind of lonely.

3) walking home at dusk. At the metro a trumpetist plays a jazzy version of "Come thou Fount of Every Blessing" (totally MY kirtland song!!) and sells bouquets of flowers. It gets me excited for a fun evening.
