catching up

so we made kind of a willy nilly decision to scamper off to the beach with our two good friends jared and melissa and couldn’t be happier that we did! we stayed in ponte vedra florida with them at jared’s uncle’s condo that was right on the beach. we laid out, played in the ocean, drank multiple margaritas, ate seafood, and played cards all week. it was just what we needed :)

   
 
now we are back in DC and so it begins. today I had my first official job interview post college and happily it actually had something to do with my major! The job would be an assistant wedding photographer where I would assist the photographer with mundane tasks (holding and moving lighting around, carrying equipment etc) 10% of the time, and the other 90% of the time I would get to work creatively with none of the pressure of being the main photographer! Basically instead of snapping the picture of the bride and groom having their first dance, I’d be looking for the parent’s reaction and so on.The company is a very renowned photography studio and has been awarded by the knot, brides magazine, and the Washingtonian! So needless to say it’d be such a great opportunity for me if it actually worked out. I was interviewed by the owner of the company who was an older man that greeted me wearing a large white fedora which he donned throughout our talk. I think we really hit it off but I was informed that the position is highly sought after and so I definitely do have some competition. Time for everyone to pray that the other interviewee’s choke? Just kidding………right? Even if I do get the job (which I won’t find out about till next week), I’ll still have to find something full time to help support our sweet little family while Jonathan’s in school, so it looks like things could get busy. But busy is good when more than likely Jonathan’s every waking moment will be stuck in the caves of the law school. (don’t worry love, you’ll be fine) :)

In other news, Jude has his first visit to the vet tomorrow since moving to the city, and let’s just say it’s probably NOT going to be a great day for the poor boy. At least 3 shots and a stool sample? He’ll be showing us each and every reason why the put weimaraners in every anti-depressant commercial on tv tomorrow afternoon. oh jude bear….



thankfully though, tomorrow night to lift me of my wiemaraner induced depression, Aqsa (a good friend of mine interning in DC this summer) and I are going to walk the two miles by the capital building and on to downtown dc to Frozenyo to get the rumored best frozen yogurt in the city! With flavors like Red Velvet, Pumpkin Pie, and Snickerdoodle I am overly excited. I’m loving this city and it’s culinary delights :)
