The life and times of two thirty-somethings in Reston, Virginia.
We're on Twitter too …
Ok, I'll admit, the pic I took two weeks ago was pretty weak as far as snow goes. But let there be no mistake now. The recent dumping has completely made up for it.
Two weeks ago, the condenser unit on our heat pump froze over completely. I noticed the air filter was a little dirty, so I replaced it and thawed it out the condenser using the hose - all better.
Ok, so I haven't quite figured out Posterous yet when it comes to pictures. Here's another attempt.
Our home has been invaded by painters. Nat and I decided to go with professionals to repair the basement walls and give the whole thing a fresh coat of paint. Things are looking great so far - amazed at how much spackle these guys use!
Prepping for a projector install in the basement, I needed to clear some room for the screen. Thankfully, most of the walls came out unscathed.
Yes, believe your eyes. Nat and Matt have finally posted again. And, no, we have not been on bed rest since the Run Amuck. :-)
Between our last post and now, we spent the 4th in Hotlanta where we ran the Peachtree Road Race along with Matt's mom while Rick cheered us on -- even though we were hard to spot in the 50,000+ crowd -- visited friends (helping a few of them move), ate fantastic Cindy-prepared and Atlanta institution meals, saw Jordan and Mike off to Colorado with a super-packed U-Haul and generally relaxed.Once we were home, it was time to pack up our Tysons apartment and get ready to move into our first home, which meant hauling things from Tysons to Reston just about every night for two weeks and eating dinner around 10 p.m. Before we knew it, it was time for the movers to arrive. My parents came down for support and to do a little painting, loaded with snacks, toiletries and other essentials like a basket of wine. Well, they ended up painting the guest room, living room, hallway and dining room! They seriously have wings or something.Since then, we've been busy switching out blinds, hanging pictures, hanging out at Home Depot regularly, enjoying finally being able to grill out (if only Matt and I liked meat at the same temp). Although we still have lots of work and shopping to do, here's a peek at the transitions already in our homey home (which is ready for visitors!) and a pic of our pro painters.
