Boy do I need a vacation

Can I just say that I am really looking forward to my vacation that is coming up? Seriously. I just need to get out of town and be away from people for awhile. The quagmire that is the Tri-Cities has really been draging on me lately and I need a break. Not having to go to work is exciting too. I can't say I'll miss it. I leave the great state of Washington on Friday to head to the other Washington-DC that is, and I am SO FREAKING EXCITED.

So excited that in preparation for my trip I have made an iPod playlist of songs appropriate to locations I will be visiting. "Good Morning, Baltimore" from Hairspray for Baltimore, "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John and the Rocky song for Philly, "The Virginia Company" song from Pocahontas for Virginia, and a plethora of patriotic/americana songs just for DC such as "America" by Simon & Garfunkel, "America the Beautiful" by Ray Charles, and I'll probably get some John Phillip Sousa (Stars and Stripes) in there. Also, we are watching movies that will prepare us for our trip. My dad watched "Gettysburg," I also have "The Philadelphia Story," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," "A More Perfect Union" and "National Treasure" on that list. I'm probably getting carried away but I like to prepare.

Also, General Conference was really good. Like all of it. I felt really recharged after this one. Please go back and read/listen to them because not only are they good, but they are scripture. So there.

You're leaving Friday already?? I guess this means I'll be headed out next Thursday, wahoo! We should talk soon, or before you leave. Do you have the skype thing? Me & aaron just figured out how to use it the other day & it was the most exciting moment of my life. Haha & i like the playlist. And the word quagmire.
