This Day in History v.37
I was watching an episode of House Hunters International and they were in Stuttgart, Germany and they featured this bridge with locks all over it. It reminded me of the time I was traveling through Cinque Terre, Italy I came across this path with locks and at the time I didn't know what they were. Come to find out, they are love padlocks. This is when locks are affixed to a fence, gate, bridge or similar public fixture by sweethearts at an increasing number of locations in the world to symbolize their everlasting love. Pretty neat!
There were hundreds of them!
Of course I have to pose for a ridiculous picture!
Here are the past blogs I have written:

Four Courts Four Miler
Instead of running the Shamrock Half like I have before in 2013 and 2012 and 2010, I decided that we should run the Four Courts Four Miler this year! I've always been sad because its the same weekend and there's no way I could run this race and then drive down to Virginia Beach for a half the next day. I mean, I could theoretically do it, but I want to be able to drink and enjoy St. Patty's Day and I wouldn't be able to do both in one weekend.
I just had to convince my father its as a better idea. That took all of 2 minutes. Ha. I will say this race is awesome, however the last mile is STRAIGHT UP A HILL. This was actually one of my WORST races ever. I guess I was hungry or really out of shape because after mile 1, I had this sharp (and I mean SHARP) pain up under my rib cage and I kept having to stop and breathe. I lost my dad after mile 1 and he went ahead and killed the race!
It may not have been my best race, but it was pretty fun! My dad is going to have to fly to SF a lot so that he can run some races with me!
The music started at 8 am and people are already out and about enjoying the party.
LOVED this guy! He played really well too.
We will run for beer!

The Cat's Out of the Bag
Many of you know that my bf is in the Coast Guard and he's been stationed in Alameda, California (across the bay from SF) since last summer. Its a big decision, but I'm having an adventure and moving west with him! Yes its scary, no I'm not ready, but we'll see how it goes!
I've been searching for a way to get to SF with Big Daddy D since back in December. I love how they always tell you that "you can make your own career and way at D"….what they don't tell you is all of the hoops and red tape there is to make it happen. I interviewed for a position back in December/January and after NINE, yes NINE interviews (someone apparently forgot that I already worked there…) I didn't end up getting the position. Which I'm actually happy about now because everyone I talked to really didn't like the job. But good news is, I got offered a MUCH better position and I'm actually excited about it! I will be a Learning and Development Specialist on the onboarding team. So I will be traveling to DU (our $300 Million dollar Learning University outside of Dallas) every other month and will be helping with all the onboarding activities such as creating the training and facilitating the logistics for all the programs. AND best part of ALL…I will work from HOME! Hizzome!!! Whoop whoop!
I'm excited to try something new and another new place! After 4 years in D.C., I'm ready to leave this crap weather (seriously, 70 yesterday and its going to snow tomorrow) and explore a new city. After living in London for a year and D.C. for four, I'm itching to try something new. I am sort of scared to leave all of my friends and family and move somewhere where I know a total of …. six people. Doesn't help that I'll be working from home, but I'm outgoing and more than willing to put on my sorority rush hat and push my friendship on people. Hey, I did it once, and I can do it again!
I don't have a set date that I'll move yet because I will start my new job in D.C. and move whenever. So, I'm thinking Easter weekend, so that gives me about a month to close up shop in D.C. and get myself to the West Coast. AAAAAHHHHH that just gives me anxiety thinking about it.
Here goes nothing….
