We arrived in DC on the second and gratefully unloaded at our friends the Klingele's house. Cecelia and Jeremy clerked together in Jacksonville and now Cecelia is clerking for the Supreme Court. We love that we get to spend another year with them. In fact, there are another 2 Jacksonville clerks who are moving to DC as well, so we get to continue these great friendships.
We started our house search on Sunday and probably saw about 15 houses a day until Wednesday. We are so lucky to have great friends in the Klingeles and Brooke and David Thomas because without them taking care of Eden our marathon house hunting trip would have been impossible.

The craziness started on Wednesday morning when we decided to put in an offer on a house that already had one offer to review. It was a long, long day that ended up in a bidding war, but by 9pm we had a ratified contract and our inspection scheduled for 9am on Thursday.
WhooHoo! We're soon-to-be homeowners of a 3 bedroom 1 and 2 half-baths colonial house with a great yard that is only a 15 minute commute via metro for Jeremy! We close on the 4th of Sept and will probably move at the end of Sept.
We thought we could head home, but there's a lot to take care of when you are an out of town buyer! The plus side of this is we got to spend Thursday evening in Annapolis meeting Justin and Farracy's new baby Jackson and catching up with my cousins Barbie and Bill.

Finally, Friday evening we headed back to Durham for some pool fun with the Kings and a wonderful dinner with our friends Andrew and Carla and their new baby Noah.
