1. Apartment hunting in north Arlington and trying to stay within the confines of our neighborhood school zone stinks. The apartments are really expensive and are small enough to fit in my back pocket. It's very hard to forget that amazing penthouse apartment we left in Bogota and embrace this new reality. Sigh.
2. We went to a Methodist church service on Sunday and it was a.maz.ing. The church is community-based church and not one of the big Methodist churches in town, which I loved. The sanctuary is a lovely old building and the church is "music-focused." They have an amazing pipe organ (with an organist who knows how to play it loud which I love) along with an accomplished choir. The music was amazing and the sermon powerful, and there was a range of ages from teenagers to young parents with babies in infant carriers to 60 year-old couples to a woman we met who turned 102 last week. We will definitely go back.
3. Mac needs to go back to school. That's all I'm going to say about that.
4. We've had a great time catching up with friends in the DC area. That's the real beauty of being back here, so I'm trying to stay focused on that and not the size of our apartment.
