[quote=Anonymous]OP, my a few years back my DH got a temporary job in DC.  Well first, it was held up for a while, so I was on permanent limbo for over a year.  Then it happened and happened so fast I had to find us a place to live and we moved all in three weeks; staying in Oakwood apartments until our rental period started.  I had to pull the kids out of elementary and my oldest was in hysterics.

We were fine!  You will be fine! Your baby will be fine!  I'm an anxious person and the best piece of advice was something I heard while flipping through radio channels:

The difference between Panic and Peace is a Plan.

So here is part of your plan: When you find out where, or have a choice of two or more places, come back to DCUM and ask if anyone has lived in Begonia, ST, USA.  And you will get tons of helpful advice about Begonia living.

Here is another part of a plan:  When I found out we were moving, I got an old-fashioned paper map and stared at Northern Virginia and DC and part of Maryland, and I had no clue where to live.  I marked all the Whole Foods because I frequent Whole Foods, and decided I wanted to live near "a friendly face"--which means, something familiar.  That really helped!  So pick your store or thing you frequent, and work out your neighborhood from there.[/quote]
