The Vivian/Webster Family Album

This gallery is a look at where Bruce and I lived during our almost six years in "the District"--Washington, DC. When we first moved there we still had three kids living with us, Wes, Jon, and Crys, but by the time we moved from the house on Huntington Street to the one on Quebec Street, both Wes and Jon had moved back to Utah and California. Emily spent time with us after we moved to Quebec Street, and that's where we were living when we got two more dogs, Laverne and Shirley, so we still had a houseful.

Sandra Webster > Upstairs. Duh.
The open door on the left is one bedroom. This was first Jon's room. When he moved back to Utah, I took it over and made it over into an "office".

The next door led into Crys's room. The door directly ahead led into a bathroom, and next to that, the first door on the right was an itty-bitty office for Bruce. The last door on the right led into the master bedroom.

Sandra Webster > Bruce's home office was actually a converted closet. It's astonishing how much he managed to cram into so little space!

Sandra Webster > Here's another view. Luckily, Bruce had a real office at PriceWaterhouseCooper downtown on K Street, but look how many books he still managed to get into that little space!

Sandra Webster > Could he actually turn around in there?

Sandra Webster > The master bedroom was also comparatively small, but it was so cozy, and had three sets of windows, so it was always light and airy.

Sandra Webster > We had this great little TV area. The bathroom, which was very tiny (but had one of the best showers I've ever used!) is just off to the left, where the door is open.

Sandra Webster > Here it is, my first-ever-in-my-entire-life office. It doubled as a guest room. It was very YELLOW, and I didn't have permission to paint, so I did my best to work around/with it.

I was crazy about my first flat panel monitor, which could be held up by a regular picture holder. Finally gone was the monitor that took up the whole desk!

Sandra Webster > I loved having all my stuff at my fingertips, and being surrounded by some of my favorite paintings, photos, and objects.

Sandra Webster > Now THIS is the next home we lived in. We thought we'd be in the house on Huntington for three years, but the ambassador and his wife were called home about a year-and-a-half early, so we found ourselves (almost) frantically searching for a new place to rent.

We were on our way to sign a lease on a Georgetown townhouse that we weren't crazy about (although it did have an elevator, which I still think of wistfully) when the realtor remembered this little place.

When Bruce saw the Viking gas stove and the neon sign saying "Let's Eat!", he told the realtor that unless the rest of the house totally sucked we'd take it. The rest of the house turned out to be just fine, and we've been here since September 15, 2001, thus breaking the famous Webster curse of never making it to two years in a house. (And yes, that means that we were in the middle of moving when 9-11 happened.)
