DC House Hunting Trip!

The day finally arrived for our house hunting trip. It feels like we have been talking about it foreverrrr, but now it has come and gone. We flew out for just 3 days to scope out places to live, so our schedule was packed!

Zach has been doing his research, he literally has found every place possible online. During his classes he would get on google earth and get off on every metro stop and go down the streets looking for housing... haha! Such a dedicated husband. So before we came we narrowed down our options and made a game plan of what we wanted to see.

Sunday was our first day, so we went to one of the wards that we could be in, and then went straight to brunch at Founding Farmers (sooo yummy). There were only a couple of places that were open on Sunday so we went to those ones, and we were VERY disappointed/horrified. I was starting to think I better not put in my 2 weeks notice at work, because I'm not going anywhere! I think Zach could sense my panic so we went to just drive by some of the places we were going to see the next day... and they looked SO much better! Needless to say I was anxious to get going the next day to see what the options were.

The next day the very first place we went to we fell in love. It was the cutest townhouse in a perfect little community. It is in Arlington so it's a pretty easy commute for Zach as well. We were pretty sure this is where we wanted to live, but we kept looking just so we could have some other options in case that one didn't work out.

 We also made sure to get a yummy treat every day, and there were so many good places around! My favorite was Sugar Shack where we got donuts. The only problem is, it is about 5 min away from where we will probably live, so I will need a lot of self control to live there. If that's not an incentive to get people to visit us, I don't know what is!

 One night we went to Georgetown and walked around, shopped, and went to dinner (and of course got cupcakes from Baked & Wired).

We were at the gym one morning while we were there, and this flyer was on the bathroom stall. The odds are, it will be absolutely necessary for me.

Now it is just a waiting game. Our top 2 choices told us they will know the availability in about 3 weeks, so I'm hoping it will all work out! Cross your fingers for us!

Here comes the Bride!

Mckenzie is no longer a Miller!! Kenz got married today, and it was the best day!! 

We started the day with a killer workout. She came over and we did a little cardio and one of our favorite Kayla Itsines workouts. Whenever I could tell she was getting tired, I started throwing out threats like, "These pictures are going to haunt you for the rest of your life, you want to look good!!" Needless to say, it was very successful. 

Then the beauty team got to work on the bride. Mallory did her eyeshadow, I did her hair (and Mallory's hair), and Kenz did the rest of her makeup on her own. Between the three of us, she looked FLAWLESS!

The beauty team!

 She got married the Draper Temple at 3pm... which was so nice, no early morning for this bride! Because it was so late we basically took a few pictures, and went straight to the reception afterwards. The reception was at Cactus and Tropicals and she won the prize for good reception food. They had a taco bar that was delicious. It was also filled with smashing cake in each others' faces, dancing, and a sparkler exit.

 My perfect date!

 I have a slight (major) obsession with Baby Dean.

 I'm so happy Kenz found Shawn, and so glad she is happy (even if he is moving her away to Oklahoma next week). It was the best day, love you both!!

Isn't he dreamy!?
