disconnected

so a few of my friends have commented on the lack of blogging the last 10 days but due to moving i didn't have internet at home until saturday - so i was a week without it and i don't blog at work. but we finally are connected! woooo! so nice to have tv again too!

so a busy busy few days with moving and work. so last saturday i moved into the apartment! yay having a home again and the fun of decorating! and then sunday was part of the 150th anniversary of the battle of antietam, so i was happy with my unpacking efforts so i decided to go! i was really happy i decided to go because i had a blast! i went to antietam last year for the first time and really enjoyed it, and the national park did an amazing job with the 150th - i just wish i was there on monday for the actual anniversary!

went to antietam for the 150th anniversary weekend of the bloodiest day in american history. 23,000 casualties.

great artillery demo - this was the confederate one near the visitors center - so loud!

 the cornfields - 12,000 casualties in 3 hours. i had a wonderful guided talk on this aspect of the battle

along the bloody road at antietam

the rest of the week was fun! tuesday i went on an ikea adventure with my roommate and a coworker! and wednesday night i went to my first northern virginia zeta event - which was a blast and i met some really nice people and i'm really excited to get involved with the chapter! and then friday night i went out into the district for ellie's birthday!

my first ikea experience - got some end tables & coffee tables!

living room! couches and tv! woooo! and yes my tv is a little old - whatever it works!

saturday we got connected and i met one of the zetas to get our nails done and then the couches were delivered! woooo! so excited about them! i feel like such an adult now that i own couches! and then i was invited by the same zeta to a small bbq with some of her friends. so that was fun to get to meet some people and just have a relaxing night! annnd it was pretty cool - i ended up getting a ticket to the redskins football game today! zeta teams up with the nfl teams to help raise awareness for breast cancer for our think pink games and the game is in a few weeks but we ended up getting tickets for this weekends game and getting invited by the owners wife - who is also a zeta to a pregame event. so changed my sunday plans of going to the national book festival on the mall, but it was great to get to go to a nfl game! and my dad was so jealous! he is a HUGE skins fan! it was a crazy game - they ended up loosing, but it was still fun to go to! and an absolutely gorgeous day! 

with the nova zetas and tanya snyder at the pregame event!

at the redskins game!

hail to the redskins!

and my jets managed to pull off a win! i couldn't watch the game but i kept checking the score - but my fav revis is out with a knee injury, just hoping it isn't my least favorite knee injury. and it was a crazy day in the nfl - it is crazy how the standings are this year! a lot of surprises! 

so things are going well! i'm excited about everything and it is crazy how fast time is flying! i can't wait to finish getting the apartment set up and decorated and make it feel like home! how was your weekend?
