My Apartment

Several people have asked to see pictures of my apartment, so here they are in all their grandeur! You can see that it is a work in progress as there are still books to be arranged on shelves and boxes to empty and put away...but it wouldn't even be this organized if it weren't for my Mom and Pop coming out and helping me plus my friend Dianna's expertise on helping man an attractive bookcase...I still have a Looooooong way to go though!! Yikes!!

Mom and Pop come to the big city...

Mom and dad ventured out to the big city for their wedding anniversary this year. They helped me by volunteering at the Distribution Center in the Washington D.C. Temple. They did a couple of sessions too while they were out and I got to join them.


I took some time off and we ventured out to see some of the sights such as the Smithsonian American History Museum that reopened while they were out after being closed for remodeling for 2 years. We met some of the characters wandering around as we went to see the different exhibits throughout the museum.









This is the view from the top of the Washington Memorial...the arrow is pointing to the Washington D.C. Temple. You can actually see it way over on the Maryland side.


My cute parents helped me unpack my boxes even though I have been here for two months. I have not had time to unpack myself...if you have seen the pictures of the newly remodeled Distribution Center in a previous post then you will understand why I have had my hands full.

Thank goodness for good mom's and dad's out there that can come help put together book cases and even help assemble a Christmas tree so that an apartment away from home can become home!



The real brain behind "Operation Christmas Tree" laying on my one an only piece of living room furniture--the good ol' love sack.
