Home Sweet Apartment

Today is a big day. For the first time in our married life, we are moving into our own apartment. I spent last week researching Craigslist, visiting potential host families, and praying lots and lots. Some of the places I visited ranged from "no-way-under-the-sun" to "hmm...it might work." Friday morning we had to make a decision. We decided to rent an apartment in the same complex where many of the other players and their wives and families are living. It is five minutes from the field, I will be around the other wives, we will have our own space, and won't feel like we are imposing on any one else. 

It is an unfurnished apartment, but Karen and Ken are lending us a couch, folding table and chairs, a living room chair, and all sorts of other odds and ends. We are so thankful for such dear friends. Ken and a friend of his are helping me move the furniture up today. When Josh gets home at 3 o'clock tomorrow morning, he will have a little home waiting for him. I am excited! 

Our living situation might resemble glorified camping, but I think it will be a grand adventure. We have an extra air mattress, so if you ever happen to be in Bowie, Maryland please stop by. We'd love to see you!
