Over the Rainbow

Time flies by to quickly. It is hard to believe that I am over 6 weeks into the fellowship program, we had our first fellow leave today. I am sad that it is all over so soon, I remember months ago being so excited to have something to do this summer. The past 6 weeks have changed my perspective and I have learned so much about life, about who I am, and what is in front of me. New relationships have been formed, and old ones have continued on through my time away. I couldn't have asked or prayed for a better 6 weeks. As I prepare to head home and conclude the summer I still have so much that I want to accomplish, things I want to see and do. Tomorrow I hope to run the mall walk to Abraham Lincoln and maybe over to the Jefferson Memorial. The next few weeks will be filled with fun, food, and laughter but with the agging feeling that it will all end too soon. At times these past few weeks I wish that DC and Washington could be one and the same. That the friends that I have made over here could come and join the ones over at home, that home could be close to the Capitol. The next few months will be difficult as I begin to decide what course to take after graduation. Please pray that God would give me wisdom as I begin to take leaps of faith.

Last week was an enjoyable one!! I met Steve Largent, Seahawks hall of famer, he has a great story and it was awesome just to spend time with him. Although I will not be a hall of famer in football, I still have a shot at Congress and business. In those regards it was great to met him and just to say from a fan's perspective it was Great!!! I also sat in on a meeting with players from the NFL and learned about their present contract conflicts. Worked on some financial reform research and reading, sorted some mail, and answered some phones.

I hope that all of you back at home are doing great!!! Enjoy this week for me!
