Goal #81: Find a church in DC that I'd like to go to regularly.
To be completely honest, since January 12, 2010 I have had a hard time finding a place I'd like to call my church home and have had to be really intentional about finding one. I longed to find a place which as open and welcoming and full of people on a journey to better understand who Jesus is.
To my surprise, I found this community at an Anglican Church in Columbia Heights which uses a liturgical worship style. Church of the Advent, the church I have been attending, is a simple, no frills church, based on fundamental Christian principles and rooted in community. I've met so many quality and down to earth people at Church of the Advent and can't wait to get to know them better!
Another thing I found about the church after having gone for a few months is that it is actually a church plant from a Christian church in Rwanda who was seeking to help bring the Gospel to the USA.

The big cleanse
Days Left: 651
Goal #99: Cleanse my entire apartment
On the 4th of July in 2011, Allie and I moved from NYC to DC together. After quite an ordeal with our moving "truck" and a massive tropical storm that hit us while unloading in DC, Allie and I were moved in (and with admittedly lots of stuff).
On the 4th of July in 2013, Allie moved out. She is starting a new adventure and in about a decade (*wink*) will be a doctor and taking care of her old sista'! I feel so blessed to have been able to live with her and will truly cherish our three years as roomies for my entire life.
It's now the beginning of August, and I've since done a fairly massive apartment cleanse and reorg. There are still a few more touches I plan to make, but feel great about the newly organized closet spaces! I sold some stuff at a local consignment store, gave some goodies away to the Salvation Army, and then tossed the junk.
Here are some pics of the freshly cleansed place.
