Crossing the Rubicon

Aaron has been up in DC and taken the time do some apartment hunting. (I did my best to contribute a few hundred miles away by obsessively monitoring Craigslist posting) We decided we wanted a place that was closer in with less of a commute so it looks like we're really going to be leaving Charlottesville to live on Madison St. in Alexandria. Our apartment has a library, a grocery store, a movie theater, a few parks (though they look a little pathetic on google maps) a bike shop and bunch of other cool stores all less than a mile away. Check it out here. And Aaron is only seven miles from his work and has a bus stop to the metro right outside our door. We're hoping we'll only have to use our car when we want to. Hurray! Aaron is signing the contract in the next day or so. I've moved a lot with Aaron but this feels like a big step.
