Stuck in the middle

At a time when I have been so looking forward to the future; a new place, new job, and being with old friends and family I found myself today thinking of the past.

Specifically: one year ago today.
I like so many other people, was in Washington DC for the Inauguration of President Obama. After working on his campaign for 18 months I went with my boyfriend to celebrate and take part in this great event in history.
I had spent the previous summer working and living in DC, and I was so excited to be back. That day I told myself I would be back in Washington as soon as possible.
Well, I made it. In July of this year I moved to DC and started a job on Capitol Hill. In less than a month I will be leaving Washington. I will be packing of all of my things and leaving the Nation's capitol for good. I am returning to CT and will be working for a candidate I am truly passionate about.

I had so much hope and optimism for our Country on 1/20/09 and I have that same hope for myself now. My goals are much smaller then they were last year, but I know I am becoming closer to realizing what I truly want.

I am so excited for my next new adventure. And grateful for the last six months, no matter how difficult they have been.

xoxo,
Lo
