Flowers, leprechauns, and crappy cars

Well here goes - first blog post! Thought i'd start with some introductory pictures of where i've been living for the past 3 weeks. You'll see our building below and chris walking to our car in the parking lot after that. EVERYTHING is in bloom here and it's completely gorgeous. I actually went running 3 times this week - complete torture but the best way to see all the gorgeous houses and enjoy the perfect weather. More picture on the inside of the apartment to come.











Saturday in good ole irish spirit we went to a st. patricks day parade with some friends that chris went to Beeson with. The parade was in a small town outside of DC and was
precious. Lots of local flavor - my favorite was the 2 local irish dancing studios and chris's was of course the bagpipes (see below). It was really good to hang out with people we had a "history" with and we spent almost the whole afternoon with them. Look forward to hanging out with them in the future! Getting a haircut this Wednesday which I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT. Desperately needed (see horrible bangs in picture).














Saturday night we headed to Georgetown for a famous "baked and wired" cupcake and for dining on the waterfront. Cupcake was delicious but dining on the waterfront didnt happen thanks to the outlandish st. patricks day celebrations. We were however entertained by DC fire department - never saw any actual flames but there were at least 10 firetrucks which rushed to the scene and ended up shutting down all the streets in georgtown. we ended up making ourselves comfortable at a sidewalk cafe and enjoying the hustle and bustle.

sad/funny story - when we were leaving the parade saturday chris goes to open the door to my car and the handle just breaks off into his hand. my car is officially a piece of crap. it was so ridiculous we thought it was a joke. it was the last straw for us so it looks like we're going to be selling it and chris is going to drive the camry up here after his next trip to nashville. RIDICULOUS. NEVER BUY A HYUNDAI!!!
