ohh where has the time gone

Well ladies and gentleman, today Wesley and I have officially survived three whole years in Washington, DC. This time three years ago Wesley and I arrived with four huge suitcases, no where to stay for the night in a city we hadn't been to since we each were in 8th grade.

I can definitely say it has been an adventure (we don't call it wolo adventures for nothing!). We have lived in four apartments all within a block from each other. We have stayed in the same jobs, but have received a few promotions along the way :) No car for the first 10 months and now share poor Bessy who has been beat up by the aggressive driving and street parking (needless to say - we have become excellent parallel parkers and have learned to decipher signs like the one to the left...). Southwest Airlines has become out best friend - well, more like we have become theirs with the thousands of dollars in flights we have purchased. We have had a few visitors (you know who you are and we LOVE you for it), but could always use a few more.... We've made a few friends along the way and have seen a few move away. We have had a British foster cat named Marlene for the past three months while she waits for her passport - and no, I'm not kidding.

We know this city like the back of our hand which is something down the road I know we will be grateful for. It gets tough at time being so far away from friends and family, but I know we will look back and cherish this time we have had in this crazy city called the District of Columbia. So on to the next year.........
