Excitements!

Beyond the crazy DC driving, Wednesday night was full of other types of exciting and fantastical things. For one, finally getting to see my girlfriend was very nice indeed. For two, after leaving Maryland I met up with our new landlord and his wife and secured the keys to the new townhouse. It was the first time that the place actually felt like somewhere we were going to move into!

And another exciting revelation from Wednesday night turned out to be Steve's surprise success in scheduling a White House tour. Originally for Tom's bachelor party but delayed due to 60-day wait lists, a group of 20 friends and family members are now go for launch for a increasingly rare White House tour this coming Saturday. I'd been lamenting the fact that I haven't really gotten all the tourist-y DC things out of my system yet, but that I wanted to wait for the summer crowds to die down... but this tour will certainly do for now, with another national landmark under my belt.

Also from this weekend, it was cool getting some people together to actually use the volleyball court outside the apartment. Thanks to the Coffeys and Debra for coming over! Jen, Stephen, Gina, and I beat the rain later in the evening by playing some wild-n-wacky new "bored" games.

Now, if I suddenly find out that all the expenses associated with moving are somehow free, I'll be set!
