John Mayer anyone?

Ok, so I finally pulled myself back to the old blog, as you can see I don't do so often. But much to my suprise, people actually read it and even better comment on it as well! This new discovery is the soul reason for this posting, you people requested it :) What did you request? Pictures! Pictures of the snow number one but I thought I'd also throw in some more recent photos too! (Especially since the most recent photos have been from AMAZING moments!)

So, the first few as promised are from a few weeks ago during the big snow storm also known as "Snowpocalypse," not even kidding!


Literally, to my knee!
These are from a while ago, but our friend works on capital hill and gave us a tour of the Capital; very cool! Heres a few pics:


The above has GW in the middle surrounded by angels. I've was told this is very symbolic of him 'becoming a god.' Interesting....
This is me and my sweet heart at 0,0 cordinance for the DC mapping quadrents, or something like that! :)
Look who we found in the Capital of the USA? Brigham Young, Saweeet!

The same friend, AWESOME, also hooked us up with a tour of the White House! We couldn't take pics inside but here’s one at Obama's front door!

The best part about the tour was the "White House Prayer." John Adams, first Pres to live here, wrote a letter to his wife the first night he was there and said something along the lines of asking God to watch over and protect the house. He also said something about only wise and honorable men will live within the walls. The letter was found and liked so much that it was inscribed in marble and is now hanging over the fireplace in the dining hall. Sounds a lot like a dedicatory prayer of the White House to me. Pretty neat!

And finally, what you've all been waiting for...JOHN MAYER concert!
So Hard Rock Cafe has a suite at the Verizon center to ya know entertain clients and such. Well Saturday Feb 20th was nothing different. However, some very kind clients canceled leaving a few available tickets! My amazing boss thought of lil ol' me and Jer and asked the day before if we had plans that weekend. I didn't tell him we were going to tour the White House Saturday morning but simply stated, "no." So, just like that I was invited to attend the John Mayer concert in the company suite with my special someone! AMAZING!
And it was just that, AMAZING!

It wasn't the most showy concert but simply full of talent!! He was just jamming up there and sounded exactly the same as he does on the radio. I swear half the show, which was 2 hours, was improved b/c hes just that good!
Lastly, Shakira will bring this posting to an end! Yep thats right, after at weekend with John and Obama, Shakira showed up at the cafe Monday afternoon (1/5 hours late actually). She came to the cafe to launch her charity shirt thing and donate some dresses. Pretty neat. She is VERY pretty! As mentioned above, she was 1/5 hours late (she was visiting with Obama. Doesn't he have anything better to do?) Anyways, she was only on stage for maybe 20 minutes to explain her charity then up stairs she went for media interviews. That's all we saw of her.
Cute lil thing.
