Our New New Place

There was a man who lived in a shoe. Life was good but he wanted an extra foot or two. He packed his boxes and moved. He found an apartment he loved. And since it is bigger than his previous tiny house, he felt as small as a mouse.

Joseph and I feel the same way! The studio was great and all but now we have S P A C E . We are starting our furniture collection and becoming masters at craigslist and yard sales. We are just a mile down the road from our previous place so Joseph still just has a 15 minute bus ride, but it is a different route so he has to walk about a half mile from the Pentagon to work.

We are really lucky because we are in the same ward as before, which is good because we just gave talks so we'll stay in this ward because it won't be our turn for a while :)
This past Thanksgiving week Joseph's brother Adam came to hang out and see the sights. On Saturday Joseph, Adam, Raquel and I went to George Washington's Mansion House at Mount Vernon. Other highlights were the White House, Capitol building and the Supreme Court and various Smithsonians. We didn't take many pictures though. Enjoy!

  2. You should post more pictures! It looks like an awesome apartment - do you have wood floors? I went to DC in 8th grade and loved it. I'd like to visit again someday, especially if you're there still! MISS YOU GUYS!
