Dear June,

I miss you! Almost all the time. I hope you don't forget me!

Love,
Rachel Z.

What's the date again?

Today I spent a lovely birthday lunch in the mall with Steve & IeLi,
MeiLi & Stephen (thank you so much you guys!). As I was walking
through Neiman Marcus to get back to the office (yeah, pretty awesome
right?) I realized I was walking through a department store that is
fully decked out for the holidays. What? It's not even Halloween
yet! Seems like a bit of a stretch to me...

First day of work.

Today was my first day on the job! Exciting times.

Mostly it was a long, cold day in a conference room.. I had a hard time staying awake so I'll have to make sure to get more sleep in general. It was really nice to have a fellow BYU-er Ben starting his first day today too. Having even one friendly face in a room makes all the difference. I am very happy to have this job and I think I'll be able to work on some great projects. I'm so lucky for that.

Anyway, posting over the next while will be sparse. Sorry! Just don't have any wind in my sails for this right now...

2,316 miles later....

And I'm in DC!!

I didn't realize I hadn't blogged in so long... I know I'm much overdue for an update. I have lots to share about the drive, our weekend in Annapolis, my transition, etc. So I promise updates over the next few days.

But just know I'm here, I'm getting set up, I'm trying to get everything taken care of before work starts on Monday. CZ comes out this weekend for a fly-out which will be so much fun!!


Overall, I'm nervous, excited, happy, sad, annoyed, intrigued. Much to follow...
