Home sweet Home

It's been 8 years since I've owned my beloved condo in the heart of the amazingly cute and fun Del Ray, Alexandria. Β I would not trade my time here for anything and have been soΒ blessed by my home. Β  It has been a place of learning, laughter and respite, and holds so many wonderful memories withΒ friends and family. But after 8 years it's time for a change, and I am beyond excited about what lies ahead. Β My good friend Holly is moving back to the area and we had this crazy idea of moving to DC together. Β I made a long list of criteriaΒ theΒ new place would need to meet to uproot meΒ from myΒ comfortable home, and IΒ wasΒ fairly confident it did not exist.

But you know it's right when theΒ impossible unfolds before your eyes in one weekend.

We found a spacious, affordable, 3 bedroom apartment in Glover Park (2.8 miles from my work!) that has all I could ask for and more. Β It's in a great part of town and in a secluded neighborhood but still close to everything. Β  It's going to be a big change, but an exciting adventure. Β I have learned you have to ride the adventures life puts in your path and it's always amazing to see where it takes you.

So while I look for renters to take over my lovely condo (let me know if you know anyone interested!), it is bittersweetΒ to say goodbye to Auburn Village. Β So I of course took a few pictures to hold those memories close....:-)
