New Job, New Shed, New Season!

I love Spring! I think it's a tie between Spring and Fall for my favorite season. I notice all the changes of Spring much more now than I did when I was younger. I love to see the trees turn green and then the blossoms of Spring bursting with color! It's soo refreshing and happy. I have to admit I am SO not a fan of Winter. So I love to see the signs of its departure.

I have been very busy lately. I started a new job in February. After a time of odd jobs and unemployment, I finally found a job. A REAL job. I got my degree in Math with a minor in Economics, and my job is in a cost estimating department (what I'd been looking for 1 1/2 years ago when I graduated) working for the government. It's FAR from perfect. And, it's entry level, so I spend most of my time learning and taking training courses and not doing a whole lot of crazy important stuff. But, after you've spent so long working to fulfil your plans for the future without ANYTHING happening...you appreciate something, anything working your way.

On another note, Sung bought a shed last month. But, not just any shed. It looks more like a barn then a shed! (Let's just say there were a lot of "tense" moments during that decision...lol) But, hopefully I won't have tools on my table or counters, maybe not even in my kitchen AT ALL! Which of course brings me to Sung's new "project." He's building our fence. YES...HE is building our fence (with help from Doug, Doug's roommates and my fam-thanks Dad!). Sung loves to do things himself, and he is very meticulous...so he'll do a good job!

I'm still in Young Women's and Sung and Doug work with the cub scouts-Webelos- in our ward. So, between work and callings and home projects, we've managed to stay pretty busy, and I've managed to avoid updating my blog. HAha!

I guess the last thing that's gone on is that I got to go to Washington DC a couple weeks ago for a work conference. It was my first time there, and I LOVED it! The weather was PERFECT! Food was AMAZING! And I had a wonderful time!

Hope everyone is enjoying this BEAUTIFUL Spring weather as much as I am! Hopefully I'll post again before summer starts! Here's some pics from my trip!

(Albanian Embassy...It was just a few blocks north of my hotel so I had to get a pic!)

(Metro Station...I know I'm weird, but it looked cool!)


(US Treasury Department... The Cherry Blossoms were just starting to bloom!)

(Tiny Washington Monument...Or is it a BIG Emily?)
