So we finally moved into our new place last weekend. It feels great! We are so grateful to my inlaws for allowing us to stay with them for almost a year! We miss them but we know that they are happy to have their space back to themselves just as we are happy to have a space for us, too.
We are renting a house in Bowie. I am in love with the neighborhood. When we are ready to buy again in a few years, I would love to find a house here. We can walk to a great park and the neighborhood is awesome for taking walks/runs. We have a porch out front with a swing and I love sitting out there in the evening just taking it all in. I can reflect on how blessed we are.
I've said it before, but I didn't know if we would ever be able to move on from the Baltimore nightmare and I am so thankful that we have. For a long time I worried about Nya's childhood experience. My parents provided my sister and I with the best childhood and I want to provide Nya with a great childhood as well. Now that feels possible.
She has a fenced in backyard and a front yard to play in. There are some kids in the neighborhood for her to play with. When I was a kid I took that for granted. Living in Baltimore opened my eyes to a whole new world. We didn't have comfortable outdoor living space for Nya to play in and I wasn't sure about the neighborhood kids. Our current home is small but almost double the space we had in Baltimore, so it feels spacious to us. I think that all of the housing experiences that we have dealt with over the past few years were meant to help me appreciate what we have now.
