We have so many amazing memories in this little apartment.
A year ago, we got a big opportunity in an unfamiliar city and we took it. We took a little leap of faith, trusting that everything happens for a reason.
We came to Towson for Derek's interview on a Tuesday, he got the job offer on Wednesday, and we came back to Towson on Thursday so that he could attend meetings and so that we could house hunt. We stopped by the building that we now live in and were told that no apartments were immediately available. The next day, Friday, we got a call from our building to tell us that they had worked it out and a 1 bedroom was now available. We drove to Towson on Saturday, signed our lease, picked up our keys, and went straight to our rooftop pool! On Sunday, my wonderful parents brought Kaiah and some more boxes. Monday was the Fourth of July, and Derek started work on Tuesday. Whew! Did you follow that? It was a whirlwind of a week.
But we couldn't be happier with how things have turned out.
We feel at home in Towson and we really love this charming city of Baltimore.
I found a job that I absolutely love, and that constantly challenges me.
Derek and I grew closer while we shared 600 square feet and 1 closet with an 80 pound
I would not trade that experience for anything.
This was the apartment where we had our first real Christmas Tree.
This was the apartment where Derek proposed.
We grew a whole lot in this apartment, and it is bittersweet to let it go.
But as much as we’re going to miss this place, we are so beyond excited for our new place and what’s to come. More room. An office space for Derek to study without distractions. Four timesas much closet space. A balcony where we can watch the sunset in the evenings, where I can plant a little garden, and where Kaiah can spend her days watching the world go by 15 stories below. A guest room for our favorite people to come and visit.
The best is yet to come..
