I have a job!!

Big news this week! I was offered the staff assistant position with Sen. Thune's office and I took it. I will start in May after graduation. I will be responsible for constituent relations, overseeing the interns, giving tours, researching and writing.
On top of that great news, I had a great weekend! We visited the Old Post Office and checked out the view from the tour. You can see the whole city from there! Then we walked over to the American History Museum. We saw some pretty neat stuff there! They have dresses from every First Lady. We saw several examples--including Michelle Obama's entire inaugural outfit! We also went through the Presidency Exhibit, saw the Jefferson Bible and the flag from Ft. McHenry that inspired the Star Spangled Banner.
Saturday evening Laura, Katie and I went to a concert at the National Cathedral. They performed Mozart's Requiem. It was beautiful. The Cathedral is beautiful too. It looks like it belongs in medieval Europe, not the US! The Cathedral also has beautiful grounds. We are planning on going back to visit and take pictures!

Congrats on the job! Everytime I see something on the news about DC, I have to pinch myself to remind me that you are actually living right there at the seat of our government and all that history! What an amazing opprotunity. I can't wait to see the pictures. Check out the comment I left on your facebook.
