A Whole New Me


My Mom would be so proud. I used to be the pickiest eater. And look here! Vegetables! Broccoli, zucchini, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, onions. So maybe I left out the peppers, mushrooms, and olives, but hey, I'm getting there! I also ate at an Indian restaurant today (buffet style) for lunch, and enjoyed it. That's really saying something considering the last time I ate at an Indian buffet was with my mom and my older sister, and let's just say I told her I would never eat curry again.

Now, perhaps she would tell me that the extra cheese counterbalances the healthy veggies, but I think I'm still doing pretty well.

And to top it off, I had a healthy glass of 100% pure grape juice.







And a brownie. :D

Visiting different parts of my nation!









After, well... uh... cleaning my camera with lots of soap and water, it died. But what better excuse to get a new one! I got a canon SD1200 and I'm pretty happy with it so far. So, I had to take some pictures with it.

Last weekend, after orchestra rehearsal, I took a stop by the Washington DC LDS temple. It was so pretty. These pictures don't do the temple justice. But they do give an idea of the surroundings of the temple. I never realized from pictures I've seen before that it's so green here! Washington DC is surrounded by trees. It's a good environment, and even though I know I'm in a big city, I don't feel like I am because the air seems cleaner with all the plant life around.












Hopefully soon, I'll be posting pictures of places in the actual city of Washington DC. But first, I have to go there.
