From the day we started looking for apartments in D.C., I knew this summer would be like no other. But I had no idea how it would all play out. I figured we'd find a little studio apartment in Northern Virginia we could rent for 3 months and live very simply. I figured I'd drive out here with Robert on an exciting road trip seeing lands I'd never before seen. I figured I'd get a great 12 week internship with a theater like Woolley Mammoth or Studio or the Kennedy Center doing marketing or PR or education. I figured Robert would make tons of money, and we'd get to spend a weekend in New York and go to the beach and go back to Illinois with more in our bank account than when we came.
The confused ramblings of a newly married 20-something wife trying to make a life in a brand new state. Figuring out how to be an adult is harder than I thought. Comments, input and advice welcome!

Just A Sparrow
Today was my last day in the District of Columbia. By this time tomorrow, I will be in my wonderful home state and will have thus concluded the saga known as "My D.C. Summer." I can't believe it's over. It has been a wild ride.
