Moving and Summer Starting

We have begun the long and arduous process of moving. We've got a great basement flat waiting for us on Capitol Hill. While we haven't moved our large furniture yet, we've taken over a bunch of smaller items. Our property management company is great, so far. They have been very lax about painting, decorating, owning animals, etc. We've taken the opportunity to paint the kitchen a nice shade of yellow called "Yellow Brick Road." Additionally, we painted an accent wall in the living room "Windsor Haze" and we plan on painting stripes down our long hallway. Pictures coming soon!

It is also pretty much summer here. Maybe not officially, but certainly it feels like it with the weather. Lots of sun, lots of thunder storms (to the point of disrupting Sarah's flight back into DC a week ago), lots of humidity. While we don't look forward to the humidity, especially me, we are eagerly anticipating the summer. We plan on kayaking around the Potomac, picnic-ing on Theodore Roosevelt Island, watching the fireworks on Capitol Hill for the fourth of July, and hopefully taking a few weekend trips. We will be back in California for ten days or so for a wedding and a chance to visit home. While we miss California and our families, I think we are building a special new home in DC. Particularly with our new apartment. While our current place is okay, it just always felt temporary and transitional. With the new one, I think we want to settle for a while and actually make it our own. Which we will!
