Update from the East Coast

So it's official. I can say that I live in the DC area. Currently I am living not even 5 minutes away from the Pentagon in a very nice neighborhood in a house. But at the beginning of July I will be moving. . . AGAIN. . .to the south side of Alexandria which is just about 10 minutes away from where I am right now.

What an adventure this has been! It's had it's ups and downs but I'm glad I moved out here.

So this weekend was amazing! One of my friends from the ward invited my roommates and I to his Cattle Ranch out in the Shenandoah Mountains. It was so beautiful! 14 people ended up going.

The place we stayed at for the night was the guest house. It was incredible! Part of it dates back to the 1800's. There is a family cemetery on the land.
So we went exploring and checked out the cemetery. Rumor has it that the family was buried on the inside and the slaves were buried around the rock wall as seen in the pictures below. We had to climb through this little hole to get inside to see the graves. There were only three of them that could be seen.


The next morning we all went hiking. The group I went with hiked to these beautiful falls and I couldn't help but stop on the way and take some pics.
