Graduation!

So it turns out that four years of hard work flies by in a heartbeat!

On May 8, I graduated magna cum laude from American University with a BA in Public Communication and a minor in Political Science. 




I had a great family crew there with me to say goodbye to undergrad and hello to post-grad life.


Justine and I hosted a family luncheon after my graduation and before hers: 


The weekend was a whirlwind of group dinners including a great night at Founding Farmers with after-dinner drinks at the POV Terrace of the W Hotel.  We also checked out the Newseum and the White House! 

Since then, I've enjoyed Nationals baseball games, days in Annapolis with friends, relaxing afternoons spent on sunny rooftops, and now I'm in the middle of a week at home in Connecticut.  On Monday I start a great job and the hunt for my new apartment begins--- I'll talk more about those later!

A lovely weekend on the slopes of Sunday River


Eight great friends and family members gathered in Bethel, Maine last weekend for a skiing getaway!


All eight of us skiied/snowboarded together on Friday. It was an absolutely beautiful day- we lucked out with gorgeous weather all weekend!


We weren't all in our best skiing condition, but that was easy to fix with a few chocolate mint martinis.

We were a little worried on Saturday morning when it was -2 degrees when we woke up, but as soon as the sun showed its face it warmed right up!
