Not much has changed from my last post, still in my PJ’s (although I have gotten dressed since my last post) but instead of the couch I am blogging from my desk in my room. Depending on how long this takes to write I may end up posting from various points in the house.

Since I have had a blog, every January 1st I write a Year in Review type post. The idea isn’t original, many bloggers do the same things, I gathered the idea from a fellow LnHS grad. This year I do intend on including pictures with each month of synopsis. Sit back and enjoy the past year of my life in a blog post!

January

Rang in 2008 with the Webers as normal. It has changed from past years, no little kids, most of the party goers can drink, legally, and the conversations focus on colleges and careers. There were many events to look forward to in 2008, Hannah’s graduation being just one of them. Looked forward to going back to school, having a better roommate makes it so much easier to go back.

February

Long cold month of school and gearing up for Relay For Life. Going to work at the gallery three days a week. End of the month was spring break, which overlapped into March.

March

Spent Spring break in Lexington, VA with Monica and her family. Went shopping and worked on school work, also made Bananas Fosters. March was also the Relay For Life event, it went really great and we raised a lotof money! It was a very long 24hrs, but it was totally worth all the hard work!

April

This month was the last few weeks of classes for the semester. Finals felt like they were never going to arrive. Was inducted to OKD and flew home for the summer. Not a very exciting month.

May

This month I turned 21 and had a blast! Started the day off with orange juice and champagne, then Daddy cooked tacos and celebrated my birthday! At the end of the month Hannah graduated from high school.

June

Pretty slow month here, started my internship at Assembly Women Runners Office. Realized that riding my bike to work was a lot more fun then driving. Did some house-sitting for Kiley again, went to Santa Monica for a day. That was pretty much all that went on, not a particularly exciting month.

July

Monica flew in from VA and we had a great time. Went to Santa Monica, swam in the pool for a day, went down to Hollywood, and loved showing her Cali! This month was also Hannah’s graduation party. Again I house-sat for Kiley and had a fun time hanging out at his place.

August

Flew back to MBC to start my Senior year of college! It was a very exciting and scary time. Daddy accepted a job in Alaska and the Tyndall’s made the decision to move to AK!

September

Hannah started her freshman year at UC Davis. On the first of the month classes started for me.

October

Wore my cap and gown for the first time for MBC’s Founders Day celebration. Traveled to Annapolis MD for Fall break and stayed with neighbors from CA. Enjoyed a Halloween party at the Alum House.

November

Went to Philly for Turkey day and enjoyed some very yummy CA wine.

December

Flew home to CA for a very exciting Christmas. Daddy and Hannah came home as well. Attended Mandi’s wedding, snow in Lancaster, and much more holiday fun!

Living in the desert you don’t expect to get snow. Very cold temperature, with a wind chill factor of -15 degrees, yes, that we get. But snow not so much. So when this morning I woke up to snow it was a little strange. Considering all of my snow stuff is in Virginia and Daddy is in Alaska and Hannah lives up north, having it snow is just ironic!

Apparently I was the only one paying attention to the person taking the pics. This is just a classy picture all around! Thanks Margie, I totally stole this from your facebook page!

Currently I am listening to Christmas music, writing a paper, working on a presentation, under two blankets, and contemplating life.

Only one more week of classes, fours finals and then I get to go home! Thank goodness! I need to just sleep in my bed and crash on my brown couch.

This evening I got back from Philly and attempted to take a hot bath, no such luck. Then the heat isn’t working and so I will be sleeping with a heating pad to stay warm. I can’t feel my toes right now so that may be a bad thing.

Yesterday I spent the day in NYC had a wonderful time and totally can’t wait to live there for real! I just need to land my kick ass PR job and I will be fine.

The next 9 days are going to go so slow!!!

This weekend was Mandy’s Bridal Shower Tea and Bachelorette party. Oh yeah I had a fun weekend. The tea was so cute and I love eating figure foods! I have pictures, but am to lazy to go and upload them at the moment. I will soon I promise. We played the typical bridal shower games. Even the “create the wedding dress out of toilet paper” game. We split up into teams and oh guess who won?!! Yep, my team won. I was the chosen one to get all dressed up. And we WON! I really don’t like losing, so I am glad we didn’t.

Then it was time for the bachelorette party. We started out with surprising miss Mandy by decorating her car and the apartment. Then we played some games, ate some food, then it was off to the bars! We started at Irish Alley and it was first time that I actually sat at a bar. Catherine, Alanna and I ordered Cosmos, which were incredibly strong, but yummy. Alanna and I were talking and she made the comment as she sipped on her drink, that she felt so much like a grown up at that moment. I do have to agree with her, there we were, one of our best friends getting married in two weeks, we were all dressed up, and drinking Cosmos at the bar. How could you not feel grown up? Then it was off to the Bistro, which was a bar with a live band, lots of people and I had an Appletini, which was so good! After that we called it a night and headed back to our rooms for some sleep.

I think we are growing up, and it is a little scary!

This morning when I sat down to write a post, I thought it would be something super deep about being a 20 something, getting ready to start a new chapter of my life and so on.

Then we went on a rode trip. 

I am sure that there is something profound to say about the above, but for now I will continue watching Love Actually.

The Capital was dead today, it was not busy with all the hussel and bussel that I had expected. This morning I got up and survived and two and half hour bus ride into DC. After getting dropped off at the National Gallery of Art I head to the House of Representatives Office building to have a tour of the Capital with a staff member of Congressmen McCarthy’s.

The tour was very interesting, I learned a lot and had a slight inkling to want to work in politics, but alas, it is gone. I thought that it would be a busy place, but it was so quite. Many of the legislative assistants weren’t back yet from campaigning. Guess that is how your life is when in politics. That inkling is coming back…

After that I headed off to grab some Starbucks (after using my iKiley to find the nearest Starbucks) then walked over to the National Art Gallery to look at some art and do a little shopping before I got back on the bus.

Then it was time for a bond fire, the Freshman Fall Fire to be exact. No, we did not burn the freshman we, as in STARs, just provided the bond fire and some hot coco and cookies. Now I have had a bath and need to go to bed, for tomorrow is Thursday and I have to do laundry, go to class, and then get some homework done.

I just won $50!!! Allow me to explain…

Tonight our Honor Council, Judicial Board, and Student Advocates hosted a Jeopardy style game show. The questions were about the various codes that each and every Mary Baldwin Student must follow, and I WON!!!

When I was asked to play, I had to warn the girls that I play to win, I don’t lose!

Now I have this $50 to spend…what shall I do?!
