Danny Came to Town

I forgot to mention that Danny came to DC this weekend in my things that I was looking forward to (per his comment on the previous post). We had a great time! He took our engagement pics at the Capitol. He also joined us at Blob's for some killer polkaing. It was great having him! Good times. He is doing well teaching the children of the nation. I give him major props!! Ed and I plan to go up to NY in Dec. to see him.

Last night we went to see Michael Brown, the former director of FEMA, speak. I was all ready to be unimpressed and annoyed, but I was surprised. He spoke honestly and objectively about what happened. He blamed the bureaucracy and the President, but he took plenty of blame for himself. It was really quite frightening how unprepared we are for any disaster. There was a great line he said about how government has made inconvenience = security.

Finally, as of today, Ed and I have been dating 4 years. I wonder when you quit honoring the dating anniversary. When you get married? What about the day you got engaged? Do you honor that? Confusing.

Speaking of getting married, I found a great bridesmaid dress.
