Tim and I celebrate our 5- year anniversary today, and that means 5 years in this wonderful city we call home. It is amazing to look back at all the people we have met, jobs we have had, places we have lived, and changes that have taken place over the last couple of years. We feel truly blessed.
We plan on spending the weekend trying out new restaurants in DC: one of our most favorite things to do. Tim has also scheduled massages for us tomorrow morning followed by brunch in Georgetown. I hope to report back with some great restaurant suggestions!
Hope you all have a restful weekend. Happy Labor Day!

Catching Up
I recently had some down time at work so I started reading some of my old posts. Wow, I used to write on this blog a lot! And I used to find joy in little things. I want to get back to that. I want to feel alive again. If I am going to be perfectly honest this year has been a difficult one, although I could not put my finger on why. Sometimes I feel like I am in limbo: working hard at my job but really yearning for what is to come (whatever that may be). Other times I feel very content: I love owning a house, decorating, and gardening. I try to chaulk it up to being 27: it is a bland year.
Although it is up to no one else but me to change that.
If I were to be completely honest again, I remember the summer before my wedding as one of the happiest summers of my life. I woke up every morning and walked 2 miles to a Paul Simon cd. I was a lifeguard from 11am-8pm. I swam for more than an hour every day. For two weeks I coached lacrosse at a day camp. And I planned my wedding. And I loved it. How do I get back to that happiness?
Again, I feel a big finger pointed right at me.
I leave tomorrow for a week on the Vineyard. I really hope to spend that time reading and praying. I want to feel content again, feel a certain strength in my faith, a certain gentleness in my heart.
