My First Firefly

I saw my first firefly about a week ago and let me tell you, it was a very exciting experience! Holy cow, it was cool. David and I were at a BBQ birthday party for one of Hannah's roommates... Whom we had never met before this party ha ha, but yeah, we were there to hang with Hannah so whatever. David and I were in charge of the grilling at first until Hannah took over so that we could eat. It was fun and the food  and conversation was good and afterward we smelled like smoke but it was ok. Here are some pictures of us by the grill.

Last Saturday we went to DC with Hannah and went to a street fair with cute little artsy shops and booths with big hats and vintage clothing. It was fun, we even got italian ice and ate it as we walked around. We ate lunch at the shake shack and then went walking down a street to see a bunch of the embassy's for different countries.

This house was for sale so we were trying to see how much it was.

As we were walking someone asked if we happened to know where the Anderson House was. Hannah looked it up on her phone and it was just down the street... So, we decided to go too! We went and took a tour of this place that we had never even heard of. Turned out to be pretty cool. It was some super fancy house from like 1900. It was pretty and the tour was really interesting. We found out that you can actually even rent it out for wedding receptions and stuff, so we think that Hannah should have her reception there! Now that would be cool!

After the Anderson House we just kept walking around. We ended up taking a 5 minute tour of the textile museum and then sitting in their garden for 30 minutes ha ha. The garden was a bit more interesting than the textiles.... Either way it was sure fun!

So, David and I are car shopping. Yep, that's right. We are giving Pearl the boot. She has been a bit too much hassle for us since we've gotten married so we are going to ditch her. We need something a little more reliable. We are planning not to bring her back to Utah with us at the end of the summer. See, the original plan was that as soon as David is done with his internship on August 9th my dad was going to fly us out to California for a week for a family vacation. After the trip we were to fly back to DC and then drive home. Now since we are thinking that we're not going to bring Pearl back, we already have a way home that will be free, faster, easier and we'll have a two weeks after the vacation to get ready for school and move into our apartment! Which is better than just having a few days. So, we are going to try to sell our Hyundai Sonata while we're here and buy a car in Utah. We actually had David's dad look at a car for us yesterday and he is going to go back and test drive it tomorrow and take it to get checked out by a mechanic and let us know what he really thinks. The car is a 2005 Ford Focus with only 54,000 miles on it. And get this, it's only $3900.00! It's a steal and we're really hoping that it'll work out for us. So I guess we'll see. It'll be weird buying a car that we've never actually seen or driven, but of course we trust David's dad, so if he says it's good, then that's good enough for us! We'll see how it turns out.

This is our possible new car, pretty nice right?

Well, we re-watching all of the episodes of The Office, so I have to go because I'm missing an awesome party because the episode that's going and Pam just got back with Roy, boo!
