The Message

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Judy, my Irish friend who lives in New York City, is coming to stay with me for the weekend. This is her first trip to DC and we are going to be tourists! I anticipate seeing Arlington National Cemetery, the Vietnam Vet's Wall, and the Mall in general. I think the military memorials are especially significant this weekend and I anticipate loads of tourists.

Things are going well. I got a crazy sunburn last weekend in North Carolina. It's peeling now - ew! But the beach was fantastic! I hope I get to go back to the beach soon - any beach!

Work is going well and I am reading up on immigration policy right now. The immigration debate prolly won't take place until next year, if then. It is such a divisive issue, although it will definitely be partially addressed in the health care reform process...

I have had a tough week because I suddenly realized that my sister is moving to Europe on Sunday. She gets married in June! I've been in denial about her departure across the pond. I know we'll figure it out, but I am still really upset. I can finally not cry when I say that I am sad she's leaving so I am making progress...

that's all for now! Have a wonderful weekend!
