How does an ant eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Big problems are composed of smaller, albeit interconnected, problems. Solving the smaller problems will have an implication on the larger problems.

Long time coming!

I have been meaning to post each time I had visitors and have yet to do so...so the time has come! Here all my beautiful pictures of my favorite season (SPRING), but even better...Spring in DC! I was fortunate to have all sorts of fun visitors as the Cherry Blossoms came out this Springtime and had a taste of my favorite - TULIPS!







First, I had Em and her roommate during the Cherry Blossom Festival. I was grateful they were able to entertain themselves, but it was fun to be able to meet up with them afterward and to spend the weekend with them. It was absolutely PERFECT Spring weather that weekend and the blossoms were at their peak bloom. It was GORGEOUS!!!



Next was the funnest visit from 4 of my high school girlfriends. Over the years there are a group of get together whenever possible. However, we have slowly dispersed all over the place. I have landed in DC with Stac nearby in Baltimore. Brandy I hadn't seen since freshmen year of college because she's been out here on the East Coast (Connecticut) and Em recently moved to South Carolina. All of us came together in DC and Alli flew out from Utah to be with us (since Alli, Brandy and I are the only members of the "No Kids Club"...made it easy for the three of us to be here and so happy the other two were able to sweet-talk husbands!). We laughed and laughed all weekend. It was a nice weekend, because no one was in a rush to see or do anything in particular, so we stayed up late and slept in...took our time prettying ourselves and catching up. No rush in shopping or wandering the National Mall...it made for the PERFECT weekend! The weather was a perfect 75 degrees, with no humidity. We ended up with numerous inside jokes...and were able to somehow turn the Natural History Museum dirty with all our little jokes and 17 year-old minds! Love these girls and can't wait till the next girl's outting!









Last, but not least, my Michelle graduated from The George Washingtong University two weekends ago with her Nurse Practitioner, so she was in town from AZ! I was able to spend one evening with her and Hailey - both of which I worked with at the hospital back not too long ago. It was good to see both Michelle and Hailey!!

how fun! Sometimes I wish (all though I wouldn't change) that I would have waited longer till I got married, so I could do all these fun things. How great Sherri, I hope you are soaking eveything in!
