NEW CAR!!
June 15, 2009 8:25 pmSlowly were getting things checked off our list. After 2 months of bumming rides from my parents we can finally drive ourselves! (Well…I’m sure we’ll still hitch a ride when it’s there!!). Found this 2004 Pilot on craigslist and grabbed it! We were planning on getting a car from an auction, until we saw this one. Talked the guy down even further, and couldn’t pass it up!
The DC House Hunt continues…
May 31, 2009 3:24 pmWe had a more successful day yesterday looking for our house in the DC area. Just a little more tough (and usually depressing) than searching in either Raleigh or Richmond ever was (and WAY more work on our poor realtor!!).
Anyway…we now have 2 houses we want to put an offer on: One in Rockville, MD and one in College Park, MD. It’s been funny as we have been making a list of pro’s and con’s…they are polar opposites! Rockville - expensive/has potential for profit/needs work/wonderful school/neighborhood ; College Park - cheap/not sure about resale/beautifully maintained -movein ready/sketchy Prince George school/questionable neighbors….but, nice quiet street/cul-de-sac - city park around the corner, and big county park w/ bike trail through the woods around the other corner. All of this said…the decision may be made for us by the bank not accepting a lower offer which we will need to offer the Rockville house to be able to afford to live and fix-up the house. So, the decision is on!
ROCKVILLE HOUSE:
College Park House:
(June 3rd) - After praying and thinking about it, we decided to make a low offer on the College Park house…and THEY SAID YES! We close July 15th! Yippy!!! We are so excited, it’s really such a cute house and will be perfect for our family! Now everyone can come visit us!!!
Beautiful Girl!

Finally moved our computer w/ our pictures into our “living space” (can’t think of a better way to describe it!!) - so, I’ve been adding the best of them to flickr and finally doing some edits and actually looking at them!! Since Sophia started school we have grabbed a bunch of photos of her in her NEW SCHOOL outfits that she has been so proud of! Thanks to everyone that contributed to her extensive collection…Robyn is very jealous of all she gets to choose from!!
Anyway…you can follow the link on the picture to see some more! Her in house hair stylist is pretty good too!!
