sorry it's been so long.

Sorry I've been away for so long. The holidays were hectic, so I took a couple trips in early Jan. I took a week long trip up to New York City to visit friends, came back to Richmond for one night, then headed up to Washington D.C. to see my boyfriend and to enjoy the inauguration. It was pretty amazing. Theodore and I stood outside in the freezing temperatures for 6 hours to be a part of the festivities. We stood back by the Washington Monument. Yes, it was a mile away, but it was totally worth it. Being in the middle of millions of people was incredibly unreal. During the campaign, I went to two rallies for Obama. The one where Obama was actually present was absolutely amazing, and that was with only 15,000 people. There were over a million people at the inauguration. It was intense. On top of being able to go to the actual inauguration, we got to go to the art show Shepard Fairey put together called ManifestHope: DC. It was a really fantastic show, and Shepard Fairy was actually there, which was kind of neat. Below are some images from the show.
