Friends, Burning Carpet, and Moving!

Adam and Liz simmons flew in with their cute family from Idaho for a fun visit! They were able to party with us for a week and a half! They toured DC and we got to see some new site too.We went with them to the Smithsonian National Zoo. This is Ellie by the Panda Bear.
We also got to go to the Baltimore National Aquarium. It was pretty cool!

The Simmons clan.
Devin and I at the aquarium. The reason I am all wet is because Devin spit all over me!

So our neighbors next door just moved out. Nicolina offered to let the kids come over while the movers came. I walked downstairs about to put the iron away, and smelled burning carpet... I picked up the iron and this is what I found.
Ha ha. I asked the kids who did it and they all swore they were just sitting watching the tv the whole time and hadn't moved at all.
Good news... I thought my iron would be going straight to the garbage can, but I was able to scrape it all off! It still smells a little like burning carpet when I plug it in but it works perfectly and doesn't leave any marks.
...
Devin and I signed a contract for an apartment! Whahoo! We can start moving in August 29! We are moving into a complex that a lot of the couples in our ward are living in. They are really nice and we already have friends there! We're super excited! ;)
