Entry: Night at the DAR Thursday, May 03, 2007



Last night I attended an event at the DAR (I should note here that I've become "DC" with my over use of acronyms, DAR is Daughters of the American Revolution.) It was so much fun! Entitled "Girls Night Out" a $12.50 ticket got you unlimited Martini's by Finlandia and entrance to an exclusive shopping party. Everything was designer and at least 50% off. This was the kind of event I wish B was here for, she would have loved it! I ended up not buying anything but admiring how everyone else found such fabulous things. The Martinis were strong but absolutely delicious so I stuck to my two and perused the sites.



I'm really starting to love this city and get to know it. It's amazing how intimidating it can be when you first get here but after you figure out where you are you realize that everything isn't as far away as you thought and your only worry is getting on the Metro before it closes.



I've found another piece of this city that makes me happy and I just love to smile about it. I've been fearful of speaking about so as to not jinx the situation but I think it's quite clear that I can't screw this one up… just yet anyways.



It is amazing how the words are just flowing today and for the past few months I'm been too inarticulate of my life here. There was so much to talk about but I just couldn't put it into words so I didn't even try. Or I'd already told someone and didn't feeling like retelling the story.



Having moved so far away it's been hard being so separated from my family but at the same time we talk about the same things like there isn't any distance at all. I'll be going home in July and if you're there and want to see me let me know because I would probably like to see you too.



What else?

I am now a member of the Colorado State Society and an honorary member of the Wyoming State Society. Needless to say my social life has taken a huge boost for that. Next up a volunteer position and my life here will be complete. Job, house, income, social life…. Perfect right? I LOVE IT!!!



This weekend is a trip to the beach with the roommates and hopefully a relaxing time away from the city.

I've got a friend who works at the DAR there, and those sound just like her kind of drinks: STRONG!
