Kaitlin's Chirstening

We traveled to Huntington, WV this past weekend for Baby Kaitlin's Christening. Sarah and BJ asked Courtney & Aaron as well as Josh and myself to become Kaitlin's God Parents. We are very honored and excited to hold this special title and look forward to watching her grow over the years.

Sarah's family is a bundle of fun and we always have the best time with them. They are such great entertainers and just a ton of fun to be around! It was so great to be able to spend time with Courtney, Aaron and Brooks as well. We miss our friends in Huntington and wish we could see them more often!

Here are some photos from the weekend.

T. Boone - The Man with a Plan

Okay, so, about a year ago, I became obsessed with T. Boone. Not because of his plan (it is a good plan, though) but because of the hilariousness of his commercials. It became one of my new accents and personalities. Poor Josh used to listen to walk around imitating T. Boone on a regular basis. T. Boone almost became my new "Eric Cartman" voice.

Anyways, when Amy was invited to go to a T. Boone happy hour, she knew I would die to go.

Here is a commercial off You Tube for those of you know never saw his commercials run every 10 minutes.

We attended the event on Wednesday at The Hay Adams Hotel in DC. Here are a couple photos from the event. The event was a bi-partisan and T. Boone is trying to get support from both sides of aisle. Josh was very excited about the event but unfortunately got caught up with work and couldn't come. I wish he had been able to make it because I know he would have loved talking to T. Boone about energy issues.

Meghan's Bachelorette Party

Katie & Pauline hosted a fun-filled night for Meghan's Bachelorette Party! We started out with drinks in a hotel in Crystal City and then a limo took us all around the city to different bars.

Friends

@ Ben's for a pot luck. Since I had prior arrangements and couldn't make it to dinner, my contribution consisted of 7-11 cookies. Surprisingly, they were very tasty.

Kim's Graduation

Jaime and I traveled down to North Carolina this weekend for Kim's graduation from East Carolina University. Kim is now a CRNA. For those of you who don't know what this means, I have provided Wikipedia's definition for you.

Definition:

A nurse anesthetist is a nurse who specializes in the administration of anesthesia.

In the United States, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN), a registered nurse (RN) who has acquired graduate-level education in anesthesia overseen by the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists's (AANA), Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs.

For some of us, her title is impossible to pronounce, so this should indicate how tough of a program this is. :-)

It is crazy to think Kim and I have been friends since 7th grade and met in math class. Both of us had on floral Limited Too tee shirts. Oh, how time flies.

We are all very proud of Kim and her accomplishments and missed her in DC while she was gone for 28 months. She is moving back now and already has a job! Congrats Kim! Love you!

Ocean City

We traveled to Ocean City, MD last weekend to visit Kristin. Cody got to come with along and was able to play in water for the first time! It was great to visit with Kristin and relax.

We went to one of my favorite restaurants/bars in OC on Saturday and hung out on the bay-side. Surprisingly, Macky's is a dog friendly restaurant! There were tons of other pups there and Cody had the best time!
