Our kitchen, bathroom, and entry way are also lit by only one bulb, but the "designer" of our glorious abode really went all out in the living room. We've got 3 light bulbs in there! We feel so lucky!
Adam and I often go to the park by our apartment on Sundays to throw the frisbee, lay on the grass, and watch the joggers, the tourists, and their adorable dogs.
There are still some bright leaves on the trees.
Things started deteriorating, quickly.
Adam decided that if he ever starts his own law firm, he would use this photo to advertise. Doesn't it inspire confidence?
I did what I do best: strike poses.
Sometimes I can't help myself.
We hope the weather stays nice for a few more weeks so that we can continue our Sunday tradition of going to the park!Remember all of those times you told me that I wouldn’t be able to find a job as a paralegal once I quit working for you? Remember how you told me that I wouldn’t be able to find a job that paid me more than you paid me? Remember how you took me for granted and never commented on my hard work and good work product? Remember how I worked for you for 50 hours a week and didn’t even take a lunch break?
I’m just writing to tell you that you were wrong. I did find a job as a paralegal. In fact, I found a great job that I couldn’t be happier with. Every day I wake up and smile at the thought that I’m off to their office, not yours. I found a job where I’m appreciated and the attorneys actually tell me when they like my work. I found a job that pays me almost 30% more than you paid me. I found a job where I get to take a nice, long lunch break. But wanna know the best part of all? During my first year at their firm, I will work 650 hours less than the year I worked for you! That’s 17 weeks, or 4 months and 1 week less, and I’ll get paid more for doing it!
IN YOUR FACE, SUCKA!
I was recently called to teach the "Sunbeams" in primary. They are 4 years old and are the cutest little things I've ever met. As I was preparing their lesson today and was flipping through the manual, I was cracked up by some of the lesson titles.
Our costumes included:
When guests walked into the party, Adam would run up and start taking pictures of them and yell, "Look honey! Locals!"
Adam's little brother Andrew and his wife Tiny Trisha came to visit us last week. They were the only Alba's that hadn't come to visit yet, so we made it a top priority to get them out here.
While Adam and I were at work and school, they did a great job of navigating the big city on their own, and on the weekend, we took them around to some of our favorite sights. Saturday I took them to Arlington National Cemetery to see the changing of the guard. Unfortunately, pretty much as soon as we stepped out of the house, it started pouring rain. I mean, harder than I've seen it rain here in a long time. There were only 2 umbrellas for 3 people, but Andrew, being the gentleman that he is, let me and Trish have them. He was soaked! It was pretty funny!
After church on Sunday, we went to Shenandoah National Park to see the beautiful fall colors along Skyline Drive. The only problem was that everyone else in the entire D.C. metro area did too.
We were stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 7 solid hours. We actually only ended up driving 3 miles through the park before we decided that it wasn't worth it (aka Adam was getting too crabby to handle anymore) and that we should head back. What a bummer! I look forward to going to Shenandoah every year.
Trish and I made an apple pie. She sure knows how to make a yummy crust! And on top of that, isn't she beautiful?
Thanks for visiting guys! We love you!
