I met Ellen!!!

...oh yeah and I won a trip to New Orleans.

My good friend Laura and I went to the Ellen Degeneres show today. I was picked from the crowd to go up on stage and play a game. I totally lost the game but got the same prize as the winner anyways. If anyone is bored and wants to see me look like a total goof ball I'll be on Tues. Feb. 5th, the kick off for Mardi Gras week.

Pics from our VA trip

I've been wanting to post these pictures since November when we went to Virginia and I never got around to it. So months later, here they are...

These first two, Jared took of Richmond when he did an externship during the summer. This area called Belle Isle or Island (not sure which) is on the James River. It has all kinds of things to do there, swimming, biking, climbing walls, etc. and it's only about 10 min. from the school.

We spent the night in DC before we flew back home.

Sam's favorite part of the trip was the moving walkway at the airport.
