a dc visit

i met suz fall of 2010. she was in one of my political science classes. she was always so bubbly, outgoing, sassy and smart. i didn't think i was cool enough to be her friend. the next semester we were interns together. she was my life savor. she created a social calendar for the interns complete with pot luck lunches and dessert runs. i would go into her office when i needed a break. we'd chat, down our cokes and eat chocolate. 

i flew into dc super early yesterday. the day was full of to do lists and fires to put out. it was a long day. i had about had it by the time i got in a cab to meet up with suz. but just like old times she was my life savor. we spent the next few hours catching up, sharing stories, complaining about the government and eating way too much food. 

there is just something about a good friend. someone who knows and cares about you. and last night i needed a good friend! i love that dc holds some of my most favorite people. i just wish my trips were longer ;-) 

the mr. and mrs. vote

woke up so excited to vote
on my way to work i decided i just couldn't wait
so i made a pit stop and voted for this guy
(if you can't remember i had the best opportunity to intern for dan while he was at the state senate)

anway
i'm super grateful for my chance to vote
my chance to say what i want
and to try and make a change

so
if you haven't already get out and vote
because you can
and you should
and its our time to make a change!
