Things that make me happy... FAMILY, chocolate covered strawberries, making people laugh, playing with my niece, skydiving, playing the 'guess who sings this song game', conversations with my mother, being an Aggie, cuddling, a good book, Christmas time, Modern Family, feeling the spirit, laughing until you feel your abs getting a workout, the perfect song, my best friends, seeing the world...

D.C. Round 3...

You'll never guess what i did this past week... haha just kidding its an easy guess... we explored more of D.C. Yaaay!!We received our date for our tour of the capital and it was sooo cool! We got a special tour because of Rob Bishop and one of his interns gave us a great tour! We first stopped in Rob's office and we each got the chance to sit in his desk... ya we are kind of a big deal! ( please excuse the way i look this day, yikes haha) Then they took us everywhere, from the Senate side to the House of Representatives side. It was awesome, the art work in there was amazing! What an awesome opportunity!! After our tour we took the day to go see whatever we wanted! We went to the Museum of Art, The National Archives where we saw the original Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. We then headed back to the metro and stopped at a couple monuments! There are so many places and things to see in D.C. I love it! Next week we get to go to our tour of the White House... crazy right? So stay tuned...
