My birthday was surprisingly awesome considering the horrible weather. I was quarantined with Derek, and let's face it, there's no one else with whom I'd rather be quarantined!
On the 28th, we got takeout from a Chinese place near us that serves the most amazing food. Their hot and sour tofu soup makes me shed tears from delicious-ness.

So much time on my hands... I even straightened my hair! And tried a middle part. Becca did not give me the nod of approval on the middle part. |

Midnight on October 29th! |
Starbucks free drink? Sure, I'll brave winds going faster than DC traffic ever moves!

So much success I took a picture in the starbucks to memorialize it! |
These next five pictures are Derek being awesome and cooking me dinner:
And I never told you what I got for my birthday... a HUGE AWESOME Christmas Tree!!! I've been talking about getting a full-size tree since we moved out of our studio apartment, but I couldn't find something that I was willing to spend the money on. While I was at GW for the moot court competition, Derek was driving through Virginia to find me the perfect Christmas tree. This thing is 7.5 feet tall and is nearly 5 feet wide!!!! I love it :) He's a good gift-giver, if you ever get the chance to receive gifts from him!
As far as Sandy goes, we escaped without any damage. The windows rattled and shook, the lights flickered a couple of times, but no trees came into our living room or on our car, and the electricity stayed on the whole time! Thanks to everyone who asked about us!
