Is anyone still out there?
Since getting engaged, many things have changed.
1. I got super busy.
2. I learned that wedding planning sucks.
3. We decided to no longer stay in DC.
4. We are moving to Nashville.
5. I quit biting my nails and then started again.
6. I quit writing on my blog.
etc. etc.
Well, since my life is about to change about as completely as ones life could change without changing genders or having a kid or something... I figured that I should start to write more about it. And maybe someone out there will be listening. I also figured that since it is not only going to be just my life but Joe's too... I should invite him to join in on the fun.
So welcome Joe.
I hope to continue to write on this blog. About moving, unpacking, presents, friends, celebrations, visitors, and trips. I just want to keep you all informed.
Looking forward to writing again soon...

engaged and underage
Well... I am engaged my friends. And getting more and more excited by the minute. Joe sent out an email to some of our friends that I think tells the story well, so I have decided to let him tell it for me.
"for those who might not have heard, anna and i are engaged. and though she tells the story much better than i, i have been summoned to email the convo with the details of "the day".
"for those who might not have heard, anna and i are engaged. and though she tells the story much better than i, i have been summoned to email the convo with the details of "the day".
Saturday:
0900 - anna reports to hair appointment that had been bumped back from it's regularly scheduled, 1400 hour, appointment two days prior (thanks to me)
1000 - anna returns to her place to find a mysterious box and two envelopes awaiting her on the dining table (see picture). after scour the apartment for a moment, she found no one to be present, and like a 4 year old on christmas, proceeded to open every gift.
1015 - anna comes to the realization that her boyfriend (who's name is held confidential to protect the innocent) had rescheduled the aforementioned hair appointment to open up her day for a visit to the spa and some lite shopping. anna also found a dress in the box waiting for her (see picture).
1200 - anna is escorted to DC by Fari, and gentleman with a black suit and matching car. destination: georgetown, the mid atlantic mecca of greed & vanity.
1245 - anna enters day spa to be pampered.
1400 - anna leaves spa on a hunt for clothes. mission: spend someone else's money.
1600 - anna leaves mecca of greed and vanity for apartment.
1630 - anna arrives home to find flowers (see picture). by now, surely, she realizes what's going on.
1730 - anna, still being chauffeured by Fari, leaves to pick me up at Founders Park on the Potomac.
1740 - anna and i meet at the park. i escort her for a walk around the park, telling her how much she means to me and how i've enjoyed the last year and a half with her. with the sun glistening on the water, we walk out to a gazebo at the end of the peer. i reached in my pocket and removed a poem i had written her. upon completing it, i dropped to a knee and proposed. in the future, i might say "...and the rest is history." however, the night was hardly over.
1800 - we arrive at Farrah Olivia, a restaurant by Iron Chef contender, Morou. we had three courses and wine... and it was amazing! i had pan roasted duck with an apricot puree while anna had beef with a tangy raisin steak sauce. we also enjoy lobster claws with caviar and a palate cleansing tuna tartar with ponzu. yeah, i liked it, that's right! (see picture) http://www.farraholiviarestaurant.com/
2000 - we returned to anna's apartment to call family members over desert and champagne.
we appreciate everyone's best wishes and can't wait to see you all soon. we will be sending out save the dates asap... but go ahead and mark your calenders to be in Franklin on April 19, 2008. here's a little video on what to expect... the first 50 seconds says it all!
cheers, joe "
That's abotu it in a nutshell (thank you joey). I can't wait to see those of you who I have not yet seen. I am so excited to share this time with ya'll!the presents

my fight
not sure if some of you know, but i am in a constant fight with arthritis.
my diagnosis's have gone from, late on-set juvenile arthritis to rheumatoid arthritis to (most recently) psoriatic arthritis. i am glad there is more definition to what i have, but it doesn't make it any easier. the thing that sucks about having arthritis (especially at 24 years old) is that no one really gets it. it sucks. plain and (difficulty) simple.
my most recent medication is called remicade. it is basically an infusion that i get every 6 weeks that takes about 3 hours to be infused. in nashville, the nurse was really good at getting the IV in my arm so it wouldn't' hurt. in DC, its a little different as i have gotten pretty bruised the past times i have gone (see picture).
hopefully the new advances in medication will help with this fight and make it a lot less painful. until then... i will keep on posting the bruises.
and i also need new hair. or something... any suggestions??

last weekend was a weekend back in tennessee with my architecture friends and my parents. this weekend is a weekend in dc/alex with two of my best friends. next weekend is back home for a wedding of two dear friends. the next weekend is halloween weekend. and then its november.
and i love november even more. although not quite a busy as october, it has thanksgiving in it and that is my favorite holiday.
the weather is getting ready to change here which i am anticipating. today the high is 85, tomorrow it is 69. and then it should stay down. i am excited about boots and leggings and tights. i have missed my jackets. and i am ready to bundle up and enjoy an eastern coast winter. i am hoping it is a lot different from a tennessee winter with more snow. we shall see.
expect lots of pictures from this busy month.

redneck catering
this past weekend, one of joe's roommate had a birthday. and because this roommate is from tennessee... the theme became "a redneck birthday" (and yes people dressed up... well i didn't, but the losers did.)
and so joe was put in charge of food... i love that he cooks... and what did he make? beer can chicken. and man was it good!
and then i made a tennessee cake. its ok to be impressed by my decorating skills. ace of cake should be calling soon... but until they do, i will bake/decorate birthday cakes for 175 a pop. i can do anything that is a circle or square.

crayola doesn't make a color for your eyes
well, my friends drew and ellie holcomb (the musicians) came through town and were officially the first visitors i have had here in alexandria. it was so wonderful to see familiar faces and to be able to visit. joe and i took them to a local pizza joint and then we headed to the uncle earl concert at the birchmere. i have to say... the birchmere is a pretty cool venue. its no ryman but it was very unique and there were no bad seats.
uncle earl is an all girl bluegrass band and they are amazing. they all have these separate careers and lives and then they come together and sing their hearts out and have so much fun doing it. they definitely make me happy.
"crayola doesn't make a color for your eyes" was my favorite song they sang. it was written in such an amazing way by not really using any instruments but using mostly hand claps (in the form of one of patty cakes) and some great harmonys. It won the John Lennon's Song of the year award recently. If you ever need a smile on your face... listen to this song... actually, just listen to uncle earl in general.

crayola doesn't make a color for you eyes : kristen andreassen
I went to see the doctor. I’d come down with the blues.
She said “No, I can’t cure you, but I know something you can do.
Take out a piece of paper, and sit down for a while,
and draw a pretty picture of something that makes you smile.”
Well, I know what makes me happy. Didn’t have to think for long.
But when I tried to draw it, it always came out wrong.
I had a box of 12, 48 and 64,
but nowhere could I find that one shade I was looking for.
I guess I realized shoulda come as no surprise
Crayola doesn’t make a color for your eyes.
There is no way that I could possibly describe you.
Crayola doesn’t make a color to draw my love.
At first I thought of Green Blue, but then I saw Blue Green.
And then sometimes in bright light, they look Aquamarine.
I think at night they’re darker. I looked again for you.
Saw Grey and Black and went out walkin’ after Midnight Blue
But the hues of the deepest skies would be a compromise...
Crayola doesn’t make a color for your eyes.
There is no way that I could possibly describe you.
Crayola doesn’t make a color to draw my love.
Spring Green is much too yellow, Sea Green is far too pale.
Cornflower’s way too mellow, so I’ll try again and fail.
There’s no way I can capture the way you make me feel.
One look from you is rapture, whether Blue or Green or Teal.
No color qualifies. That crayon’s telling lies...

Hey look, it’s Periwinkle. So sure I got it now.
But you wink and there’s a twinkle in your eye and still, somehow,
I just can’t get that sparkle. Those glitter crayons won’t.
Maybe Glow-In-The-Dark’ll get it right. Aw, no they don’t.
Mr. Crayola tries, but I’m left to fantasize...

For your eyes, something darker let’s see what I can find.
Melted mahogany and got the depth not the shine.
Just about gave up and then I peeled the paper off a little end of…
Really thought it coulda been… ahh, not even Burnt Sienna!
Your passport says they’re brown, but I’m gonna keep lookin’ round…

we took this ourselves so excuse the non-centering and cut-off of drew's face.

catherine's christening.
in continuation with getting back on track with my blogs...
the weekend of the (re)union in knoxville was continued when joe and i got back to virginia. as soon as we got off the plane we drove to vienna to attend my baby cousin catherine's christening. she was the happiest baby during the whole ceremony and would look back at us and give us the sweetest smile.
it is wonderful getting to see catherine, sassy and maddi grow. i am going to continue in just posting a lot of pictures and just letting them speak for themselves.
goofy madds.

(re)union
let's back up about 3 weeks ago to the weekend of sept 17th. not only was it my mum's birthday, but it was the wedding of two friends from knoxville sara (sharp) and sean martin. i had the honor of playing piano for their ceremony and i am thankful they have not killed me yet for hitting about 800 wrong chords in Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and since there are only 357 chords... that's quite a feat.
one thing that was so wonderful about this wedding is that it basically served as a reunion of sorts for the architecture kids s graduated with. since we have all scattered, we haven't seen each other nearly as much as some of us would like. so in honor of the celebration of the union that became a reunion, i shall not talk quite as much and just post pictures... with maybe a few explanations thrown in here and there.
the wedding was a lot of fun. the best part of the night was taking a whole cake and splitting it with the girls and eating it with our hands because they ran out of silverware. i know... very lady like. i didn't go to cotillion for that. but the cake was fantastic. after the reception we hit up DTGB on Gay Street and then Joe took me to Krystal for old times sake. after that we went back to the barhopping scene, picked up some crazies and took everyone home. We all had a blast!
whens the next (re)union?

admit it...
this is from a fun little artist called natalie dee. her comics make me happy. just thought i would share...

the local.
good news. i am starting to get used to the routine of the metro and knowing where to stand so that the door opens right in front of me. this means i don't get beat up trying to get a seat in the mornings/afternoons. i guess it also means i am becoming a "local."
life has been pretty mundane the past week... nothing too terribly exciting, except for babysitting three little girls... which i thought would be a lot of fun and super easy. well... it was a lot of fun... just hard as all get out. joe helped me (thank the Lord!) but i think we both realized that we never want to have kids... i definately don't have the energy.
my life is about to get pretty hectic though. this weekend i am going to knoxville for a wedding in which i have the honor of playing piano in. most of my graduating class from architecture will be there so we are going to party it up. i am coming back sunday for baby catherine's christening for which my grandmother (mimi) will be in town for. that night i am going to see Uncle Earl (a wonderful bluegrass band) with my friends drew and ellie holcomb (ellie is one of my close friends who was also a roommate my last year in school.) they are also traveling musicians... check them out at http://www.drewholcomb.com/.
another exciting thing is that my mom is coming in town the next weekend! i am really excited about having her here and getting to do girl stuff - shopping, chick flicks, etc. - that i don't like asking joe to do with me. i am excited to show her and my other guests (grandmother and friends) my new home and the city i am starting to fall for.
even though the next two weeks are busy, i am still getting used to being here in Alexandria. it has been a hard transition because i still don't know a lot of people. i am hoping that i begin to meet people, find a church, and start to settle. i am not sure how long it is going to take. but i hope that "the local" i feel like i am begginning to come... continues to be just that.

a perk.
one thing that makes dc/alexandria really wonderful is being close to some of my cousins. meet madeleine, savannah, and katherine.
to explain their personalities a bit...
maddi has about 10 crushes (i think joe is one of them) at only 6 years old. she is a performer and pretty mellow (espicially with her sisters) but one of the goofiest kids i know.
sassy is the most head-strong of the family. at three years old, she will talk back to you and definately lives up to her name. she recently painted her mom's living room with a pink permaneent marker, making sure she covered all areas... such as the floor, furniture, walls and herself. the week before she finger-painted herself which also got everywhere. she is a hand full.
katherine is the sweetest baby. the only time she crys is when she is hungry and she loves to snuggle. she is only about 5 months old so we are still getting to know her.
to explain the bees on sassy and my forehead... sassy explained to me that we should put them on our foreheads. she then decided that it hurt so we should move them to our throats.
maddi.
sassy.
catherine.
(nickname yet to be determined. kitty perhaps?)
these sisters are alot of fun to go and spend time with... they will wear you out though. "uncle joe" (as maddi and sassy have so kindly dubbed him) goes with me to visit sometimes... but when he does, they pretty much ignore me.(nickname yet to be determined. kitty perhaps?)

phantastic philly.
taking advantage of living in the southern-northeast, joe and i went to philly for a couple of days to visit the city of brotherly love. after paying about 10 dollars in tolls, we got there saturday afternoon and went straight to the corner of cheese-steak heaven... pat's and geno's. we waited in line at each for about 20 minutes and tried both. i liked geno's better (but joe highly disagrees.) although i have to say... the philly sandwich shoppe around the corner from my apartment makes just as good a sandwich.
we spent saturday taking a walking tour(with the best weather ever!) throughout old city and immersed ourself in history (sort of.)
i have to say... philly is a very very dirty city, but there are parts that are quite wonderful. our fave stop of the day was the old city tavern where we tried a couple of original ales and recipes from georgewashington and thomasjefferson themselves. even marthawashington had an ale after her. the brewing company that supplies these is called "yards brewing company." i highly recommend them for any future visits.
joe and i got a couple of 6-packs for take-away which is a nice "grown-up"souvenir. another cool stop we made was at a cigar bar called "mahogany on walnut." it was a great find on walnut street (hence the name)... very chill and old school. apparently, cigar officiando rates it pretty high.
sunday morning we went to an amazing diner called "the continental" which is a great space and had some great "fancy" breakfast foods. as rachel-ray would say "yum-o!" (gah she annoys me.)
the rest of the day was spent in the non-crowded touristy/historical part of philly. let me tell you... if you are going to visit philly... the best time to be a tourist is on sunday morning. everything is open but no one is there. it was amazing. joe and i got a lesson in colonial printing one on one with the print-master. it was fab.
but now we are back and i can enjoy the rest of my labor day weekend just sitting and being lazy. i will close with some more pictures...

transitions.
the move to alexandria went pretty smoothly. i have been here about two months now and it is just now beginning to feel like home. to be honest, its been a hard transition. i love being near joe (the boyfriend) but its hard not having my own friends (people here just don't get my jokes... or maybe no one ever did and it was all just courtesy laughs.)
i figured i should finally post some pictures of my apartment, even though i haven't officially finishing setting it up... but i honestly don't think it will ever be complete in my mind. i live in an old house-ish type building with old, wooden, creaky floors and plaster walls. i am learning the joys of no garbage disposal, no dishwasher, window air conditioning units and a tiny kitchen. it is quite wonderful though... so don't think i am complaining.
note: more pictures will eventually be added/updated.

Oh My Goodness (Gosh, Gah... etc. etc.)
This is my attempt at being a technologically advanced. I realized how bad I am getting at keeping in touch with everyone and how much I am starting to hate my cell phone so I decided to start an online "blog" to help me keep everyone up to date.
This isn't to replace phone calls... its just to help me not have to tell the same story more than atleast 5 times. (Haha) I hope to post photos, videos and all that... just give me a little bit of time to figure it out.
I miss you all!
Keep checking back (iycam .... if you care about me.)
