Oh, Hello There...

Well, as usual, I have been bad about updates. To be honest, between school and work I have had no time to do things like blog. Sad. BUT tomorrow is my last class I have to attend for the semester. Technically I have two online classes next week, but I am turning in the work for those by Sunday (most of which is already finished). Then I have 2 weeks until my summer class starts. Ive realized that in the 5 years I have been out of high school I have attended classes EVERY semester. Gag. I am happy to say that this will be my last summer class and as of December of this year I will have my license. Took long enough!

Ok so mayyybe something other than school. Sunday was Kyle and I's 6 year anniversary!! We had so much fun!! We decided to go to Ballston to get some lunch before heading to China Town for the Caps game. We met up with Mitch and had some really good food and a great time catching up. I cant remember the name of the restaurant...but it was good. Kyle loved it because they sold something like 100+ beers. I tried some hard cider (in true "Becca Townsend" fashion as Kyle would say) which tasted like sparkling cider...so good! After lunch we went to Ben's place for a nap (and as I would say in true "Kyle House" fashion). As we were planning when we would leave for China Town I told Kyle I wanted to leave some time to go to Urban Outfitters since it was right next to the Verizon Center. He agreed and said he would shop as long as it wasnt in a Forever21 (my favorite store). We decided to get off at Metro Center and walk since we didnt want to change lines. Well my friends, guess what was stationed right outside Metro Center....The biggest forever21 I have ever seen! I think my laughter combined with his facial expression was the high light of my night. I spared him the torture of going in (more like he dragged me away)...but I have to say that Chinatown has some GREAT shopping and he promised we would go back. I really think Ill spare him from that and instead take one of the girls who will enjoy it.

We had amazing seats at the Caps game (thank you love).

 During Warm Up
(I crossed this off my 2011 list: sporting event. See my Feb 2011 post: The List)

Being my first game, I had no idea what to expect. On TV there are announcers talking and it sounds SUPER loud in the Verizon center. Not so much in real life. We did get pretty fired up in the 3rd period when with around 2 minutes we scored to tie the game. But...apparently it wasnt meant to be. I have never witnessed a more depressing crowd of people than those leaving the game that night. 

I wish our phones had been connecting to the internet that night. We really didnt get any service until we got home. And when we got home we learned that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. It would have been great to experience all the white house partying going on...since we were only a few blocks from it at one point. We are guessing that since there were so many people at the Verizon Center, paired with the fact that there were so many people downtown, the network just couldnt keep up (this generally happens on any major holiday anyway). Im not gonna go into my thoughts on the matter...except that I would like to see some troops come home now.

I think thats all for now. Im ready for summer. So many exciting things will be happening in the next few months!
