the house of marcus lycus.....

And the search is on for our new abode. This photo is of the "living room" area of an apartment that we are hoping to get in DC. We have been looking at places since we got here and we think we may be the lead on this place. It's a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath that is split level. It is in the Capital Hill section of DC about 4 - 5 blocks from Union Station. Perfect for my commute.

This second photo is the one that sealed the deal for D. He has always wanted a spiral staircase in the place he lived. The lower floor has the two bedrooms (carpeted)and the upstairs has the living room and kitchen. We fell in love with the place just minutes after being there. The downstairs is carpeted and the upstairs is hardwood and tile(kitchen). It has a washer/dryer in the apartment, central A/C, and a dishwasher.

And here is what sold ME on the apartment. After we had looked at the apartment we decided right away to call the manager back and show interest in the place. This was when I had to ask the scary question... "Do you take pets?" Without reservations he said, "Pets are fine." If it works out....I CAN HAVE A DOG!!! Finally I can get Beau....

We are not going to get our hopes up too much. He is faxing over the paperwork tomorrow and we have to go through the credit check, etc...but it sounds like we may be at the top of the pile, so keep your fingers crossed us!!!

I start my job at The Kennedy Center tomorrow. Wish me luck.
