what to do on a rainy day

we have had A LOT Of rain lately. Last week rained straight from Sunday to Sunday. This week has been a bit overcast and now its around 60 degrees outside HELLO FALL.

When we have a little time off... our latest form of entertainment is to drive around the neighborhoods  and check out the homes and prices, and freak ourselves out that we are never going to own anything but this condo because it is sooooooo expensive out here!!

This home has become our favorite as of late. We may have driven by it, camped out front and stalked the tax website on it multiple times. Isn't it soooooo cute?!! Its around 2,000 sq feet - how much do you think this home costs?...take a guess... (I'll post in the comments section in a few days)




Then here we were last week on our rainy Labor Day stalking the home once again. Thank goodness for Krispe Kreme drive through for providing the snacks.





On Labor Day we took a rainy drive back out to the outlets across the ferry in Leesburg, Virginia. I love that drive and seeing all the beautiful sprawling property and HUGE homes...."on cheap land...because no one wants to live this far out".. Colton always adds.





Labor day weekend also brought my friend Mandy out from Newport Beach to visit Colton's friend Joe. She stayed with us at night and played by day with Joe (!!!) ( side note they met at our wedding...:))  On Sunday we had dinner with Mandy and Joe, Bonny and John and Allison (notice the new furniture!! minus the card table of course aka my "old" dining table).



After dinner was over, everyone left and we were left thinking... "we want to be the people leaving! now we are the "old" married people at home going to bed early... and we did. At 9 am lights were out and we were asleep.

This is a home I would LOVE to buy one day but really out of our price range. Its actually the home of one of my potential clients out here.. beautiful isn't it?



Work is slowly starting to pick-up. We have been advertising like crazy which is starting to show signs of progress.

This article also came out about me in Bethesda Mag... I really don't care for this image of me looking like I am about ready to pounce the camera... but it wasn't my choice so there you go.



Anyway...summer is over and we can't wait for fall!! Kayla and Beav are coming out to visit in a few weeks, then my Grandma comes for a week after that. Let the season of visitors begin!!

  1. I made the blog! :) Thanks again for your awesome hospitality and for taking the only pictures that provide proof I was actually there!

    Beautiful homes! I'm anxious to hear the price but can't even begin to guess.
