New Digs
Confession: Though we've been saying that we've had nothing going on this winter, the truth is that we've been spending most Saturdays since February looking for a house.
And we finally found it.
Meet the newest addition to the Small family--a cozy, adorable little Cape Cod that we will call home in a few weeks. We are so excited, and not only because we will be able to pull things out of the closet without the entire thing crashing down on us! Our new place is actually only a couple streets from where we live now, which is good (we don't have to find a new grocery store) and bad (we still can't walk to the Metro). It made for a fun bike ride this afternoon.
We are very excited for lots of reasons--family room AND living room, real, true Spare Oom (instead of the spare room/Missy's office/place to put everything we can't fit in the closet or find a place for), nice big kitchen, and deck. We will be purchasing the long-wished-for grill soon. Please come over and bbq with us--heck, stay the night afterwards! Yay!
Note from Jason: I am still amazed at how much it costs for .18 acre in Arlington, VA. Good news: very little lawn to mow. Bad news: what was probably a 1 acre backyard in 1951 when it was built is now occupied by three monstrous (by local standards) houses. After we made an offer, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that the house has two small driveways (instead of just the one you see in the photo), so marriage counseling won't be required to determine who gets to park their vehicle off the street.
We will soon have a 2 bedroom condo with balcony and pool view up for rent, with stainless steel appliances and silestone countertop ... so if you're interested, let me know ...

oh my goodness...this is the cutest house I have ever seen! Congratulations!! I can't wait to show Telfer...
Yay! Good pictures -- I hung up the phone and thought we'll they take pictures on their bike ride? I'm very excited for you and need to plan that visit.
Not much to say that hasn't been said...but SO CUTE. I am very excited for you and Jason - on the new house and the experience of being a landlord! Wow, what a blessing. We need to see the inside pictures!
Nice! It's beautiful!
We are actually about to make an offer on a house we finally found. I think I am going to miss the hunt though, it has totaly turned into a hobbie for us.
I will post some pics of ours when the deal goes down. What fun!
To quote dear Jocie . . .
Oh for Cute!
