The Smiths are no longer homeless!

GOOD NEWS! We found a place to live! Thank you baby Jesus! And you'll be pleased to know that it's a 2 BR/2 BA, so you will always have a place to stay when you come visit us three times per year.

Check out the new digs... It's located in Arlington, just across the Potomac River from DC. Aaaaaaand one little thing... we're in the Penthouse. NBD ;) We got a great deal though, don't be fooled. They threw in free parking (which is HUGE) and waived a bunch of stupid one-time fees, and gave us a free LCD TV! We also get a complimentary one hour design consultation with an interior designer, a free accent wall painted, and free unlimited valet dry cleaning for 6 months. Oh AND they have virtual golf and a spin class room! You can see we clearly chose our future residence based on the practical things in life.

Here are some pics that Zeke took yesterday of the actual apartment. These are the "real life" pictures, not the fancy schmancy ones posted on the website.

View from the front door- Living room with our "free" TV and part of the Kitchen. From our window, you have a great view of the National Mall. And if you think that's actually a mall in DC, click here and don't feel stupid... I thought the same thing. The master is to the right and the guest room is to the left from this view.

Master bed/bath. Two sinks! Yay for no makeup in Zeke's sink and no shaving cream remnants in mine! And by the way, this is actually one of only TWO apartments out of the 20+ that we looked at that have double sinks. It's insane to me that no where has them... have you ever had to share a sink with a BOY?! I guess this is a prime example of how we are spoiled in Texas.

Building exterior. I was happy to learn that there's a CVS, farmer's market, park, Irish pub, wine bar, nail salon, Alamo Draft House, and several restaurants within walking distance.

So there you have it! Now all we have left to do is ind out exactly HOW we are moving our stuff there. Nothing like the last minute.

And on another positive note- I was contacted for my first official phone interview today! I've had a couple of "we are looking over your qualifications blah blah blah" emails, but this one is the real deal! We are still finalizing the exact date/time, but keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer to baby Jesus for me. He's been good to us today :)
