Random Shots of Christina in DC & elsewhere

Hi folks! It's about time someone posted to the blog again, so I decided it should be me. To make it interesting, I thought I'd post some random pictures of myself or some events I've participated in the recent past. Some may actually be outside of DC, but whatever. Enjoy!

This first picture is at my friend Heather Collier Smith's wedding in Atlanta, GA. She looked beautiful! I'm glad I could be there for her big day. It was a lot of fun to see her and other friends at the same time.

Here I am enjoying the gorgeous weather in GA, while talking on the phone to my friend Marin in England. Ah...if only Spring looked like that here.

And here I am posing cheesily with a lovely flowering tree...only moments before a HUGE sneezing fit! I guess I asked for it, by putting my face right up to the flowers, eh?

Here I am on the National Mall w/ my friend Spencer...posing like the nerds that we are. It had been beautiful weather but it's gone back to being cold, windy and occasionally rainy. Mild, but not what it was...Wah. This day we were caught off guard by the strength of the wind. Brrrr!









Yaaargh! The Washington Monument is coming out of my neck!

And here is the spotted horsey that I rode on the carousel on the National Mall. Weeeeeeeee!!










These last two pictures are from the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade that took place this weekend (Sat. Apr. 14th). I'm sitting with my friends Jamie, Becky and Allison after we took care of our ushering duties. The other picture is of the Cherry Blossom Princesses. Ah lovely.

Our ward volunteered last year to work as ushers at the parade for the patrons who buy tickets to sit in the grandstands along the parade route. Because of my calling on the activities committee, I was put in charge of organizing the volunteer effort. It was a lot of fun to put together and to execute. I am very glad that it's over with, however. Very tiring! We had no actual cherry blossoms left for the parade. A snow storm took care of them a week ago, but it was still fun. We were pleased that it also wasn't too cold and that it didn't rain on us! Hooray!

And this concludes my post (finally)! Please comment or post your own entries about what has been going on in your lives! I love you all!
