Great Falls National Park

Lake and I took a few hours to enjoy the outdoors and went to Great Falls National Park. "At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge." National Park Service. Great Falls National Park. www.nps.gov/grfa/. Great Falls Park is a 800 acre park only fifteen miles from Washington, D.C. Visiting Great Falls was a nice opportunity to stretch the legs, breath fresh air, and enjoy some spectacular views without having to travel far from the city.

Our Newest Friend in Northern Virginia

Our first new friend in Northern Virginia is Olivia who is the daughter of our good friends, Chris and Amber. These pictures were taken when she was 1 week old. We figure a sure-fire way for us to make new friends is for our current friends to keep having babies! We also find that having a picture of baby on our blog increases readership and comments. Thank you Olivia for being our new friend and the subject of our eye-catching blog entry!

The Big Move

Lake and I recently undertook a move from Charlottesville to Northern Virginia. We got back from Roanoke at 8:00 p.m. the night I finished the bar and a mover came to pack us up at 10:00 a.m. the next morining. One mover packed our entire aparment in six hours by himself while we watched in amazement.

The next morning, movers arrived ahead of schedule to load up our stuff, but unfortunately, we were still in bed when they called to let us know they were on our street! Needless to say, it was a hectic morning with our stuff being loaded, and Lake and I scrambling to get the apartment clean for move-out (still in the dirty clothes from the day before, mind you!) The movers loaded up the entire apartment in 1 hour and beat us up to DC in the moving truck.

Now we live in the cardboard jungle/castle depending on your perspective. We are still trying to get all the boxes unpacked and get situated in our new place. I always forget how much work moving is, which is probably a good thing, or I would be rooted permanentley in our one bedroom condo! If you are ever in DC, please let us know, we love to keep up with our readership!

A Big Post-Bar THANK YOU!

We survived the Virgina Bar! As for passing, we will not find out for a couple of months, but it is a big relief to be done!

I want to thank all our family and friends who were so supportive and wonderful during the grueling and intensive experience known infamously and ominously as "The Bar." I had several emails, phone calls, and visits that helped me to get through it all and it was wonderful to have such an outpouring of love and support. I particularly want to thank Lake who was my biggest fan and an awesome coach throughout the months of bar study and especially in Roanoke!
