Virginia Beach

I took a little trip down to Virginia Beach. It was well needed. My whole gang left for Jazz Fest in Louisiana so I headed south.

I saw a friend. ;) It was great. Let's be honest, he's a big reason why I am able to be out here with out my family (My name's Amelia, and I am addicted to my family.), seriously it would be so hard for me to be out here on the other side of the country with out a family member or someone I really liked and trusted 3 1/2 hrs away. I need to get my mom to come live with me. Or one of the sister's or my dad (he could work from here), or the bro or my niece or nephew (we should know at the end of this week! wahooo!).

This is rad. Boots and the beach.

I love the beach. The vitamin d wasn't much but just being there made me happy. Stress from work was gone.

Now I just need my kids to come visit me.

Boats. I love boats. I love water. I want to go on a boat. I want to go sailing away, far away.

Before I Left

The night before I left this little guy came over with his family. He brought me a cafe that said we will miss you Amelia (they really wanted to say "see ya later sucker" and lots of treats.

He pretends he doesn't like my kisses but he really does.

He did a dance for us. The rocky dance. He was way into it.

It was a good thing that these guys came over the night before I left. They distracted me. I only teared up like 5 times. I think the parents were afraid to call me because they knew I was on an emotional roller coaster.... But sleep over's with your twin on her floor are worth it. It was a good thing I didn't ski the day I left (they closed the canyon for hours).

Easter Sunday we drove out to the Salt Flat for friend pictures. It started pouring rain right when we got to where we would go out onto them to take pictures. The salt flats were covered in water. We drove all the way Wendover. For no pictures. Rain and more rain. Water covered salt flats.

So we went back to the beginning on got some pic's. Love all these girl's. Miss these girl's. Glad they are there for my sister. Glad that Amanda was there to celebrate Melia's birthday, to make it special for her.

But this girl (Special - K) will be the first to come and visit me. Yea, I can't wait.

Twin's

I have a twin. She isn't with me right now. It stinks. But I have pictures that we took together to keep me going. Or the baby twin pic she gave me before I left for DC.

She's not here to read my mine. She's not here to finish my sentences. She's not here to work out with.

But we can skype while we work. We watch each other work so its like we are working together like we use too

Washington DC

I work in the building next to this one.
Its our nation's capitol.
No big deal.

I spend most of my time in an office. But every once in a while I get out.

The Capitol has great light fixtures.

Look closely. Curators are slowly going around the capitol and peeling off layers of paint back to the original paint.

This was down by an office in the Capitol.

An amazing place. That people fought for and died so we could all have our freedom's. Pretty incredible. You can still parts of the Capitol that burned during the war.


Come visit. I can get you lots of tours.
