From twin- to queen (with twins)

Well, I've been here in D.C. for about a month and a half now and I'm loving it! The first week or two was really hard but the nice thing is that I had a couple of friends that I knew here and I hung out with them. It's surprising how just talking to someone you know and who has the same beliefs as you can make you feel at home and feel so much better. It was really hard at first taking care of the twins Addison and Jackson. It took some getting used to. At first I was thinking what have I gotten myself into? Because silly naive me thought that because I wanted to be a mom so badly and because I loved kids that it would be magically easy and like a Disney movie or something. Of course it wasn't. I started thinking dang do I even want to have kids any time soon? Haha! But after the first three or four weeks I was comfortable with the babies and I felt more competant and now I am even more excited than before to have my own cute babies! (But I never have and still don't want to have twins!) I'll take them one at a time please!
Some other changes I've had is that I've gone from a twin size bed to my very own queen size bed! It's very cozy! I have the upstairs to myself with a bedroom, a bathroom inside the bedroom, a living room area with a tv with tons of channels, and a nice BIG balcony. (The washer and dryer closet is up there too.) Of course I haven't been on the balcony yet because it is still winter but I'm excited that spring in D.C. comes way earlier than in Utah and there are cherry blossoms to look forward to.
Some things that I've enjoyed since moving to D.C. are:
Riding the metro (I'll write a post about funny metro stories when I get a few more)
Eating at cool new restaurants (I've made a list and rated all the places I've eaten at. Delish!)
Meeting new people (Haven't met a ton yet but I have a new nanny friend named Ruth)
Going to the Smithsonians (I've got a few more to go)
And walking around and seeing all the beautiful row houses and old architecture.
Here are a few pictures I've taken of some houses. I'm not good at taking pics but aren't they darling?

I'm glad you're settling in over there! I love that part of the country, and I miss it now that I'm here in Utah. I hope you enjoy riding the metro as much as I do -- it's really the best way to get around. I love that you don't have to have a car to be able to get around and explore. ^_^

Why do you gotta make me all homesick. You should know that if you ever need a home cooked southern meal, my Mama lives just 20 minutes from D.C. and all my little siblings too. They would all be THRILLED to have you over and to spoil you rotten if ever you find yourself needing that.

I am excited to read about your adventures!
Love ya!
