So, I go to pay our first utility bill here in Our Nation’s Capital and guess what? Here in DC, we have Life Threatening Emergencies and Power Outages at our beck and call. Sweet.

Oh, and Dave is super excited about designing a logo for my run at the 2010 Miss Utility pageant. I hope they accept karaoke in the talent portion!

UPDATE: this was just me being sarcastic, folks; I’m thrilled to be here! (but thanks for all of the sweet emails!)

(sigh) hope I’ll get happy soon…

We ventured out to the Easter Market neighborhood today… Lotta coffee shops, lotta street vendors.

Cute neighborhood; wish I had worn sunscreen.

So, this half of Team Newman is moving to DC today! Dave is coming up with me for a couple of days, then headed back to Nashville.

I miss my peeps already, but this still feels right. Thanks to all you folks for your relentless encouragement!

More updates soon…

I have no clue what kind of flowers these are but they smell AWESOME and make my kitchen look pretty!

The best part of living up in the air downtown is that even though we don’t own grass, we still get to walk around among beautiful roses. And we don’t have to worry about keeping them alive!

Dave and I are starting to get excited about (as opposed to freaked out by) our upcoming DC adventure. We are reading, Googling and researching our new hood. We really appreciate all of you who have reached out and offered advice/help/guidance.

We’ve had several folks look at renting the Nashvegas condo – crossed fingers, prayers, happy thoughts and positive vibes appreciated… hope to have her rented soon.

Can’t believe I’ll be a DC resident in just two weeks. INSANE!
