Sara is finally here on the East Coast. We found a way out of our Chicago lease which meant that she was free to leave the Windy City and fly to Maryland. Thank God!
Today we signed a lease for our new apartment. 2.2 miles off of General's Highway, back in the woods is a secluded neighborhood called Epping Forest. A friend of a friend's was renting the top apartment of a two story, split level duplex. A two bedroom apartment w/ a working fireplace, dishwasher, a full-sized toilet (That's important), and a balcony that runs along the length of the house. We're on a hill that overlooks the South River in the fall and winter months and during the rest of the year the leaves are, apparently, too thick but you feel like you're living in a tree house. The neighborhood has a Community Clubhouse, tennis courts, and a public beach, and we're paying less than we did for our apartment in Chicago. We'll be living above our landlords - hope that works out... they seem very nice - and the apartment is farther away from downtown Annapolis than we had hoped but soon we'll both have cars and then everything will be within driving distance.
It'll take sometime to adjust to not living in the big city, but we're off to a pretty good start.

You for got the most important thing. Washer and Dryer....right off the master bedroom....in the ginormous walk-in closet. I think we're gonna like it!
How long do you think it'll be before you start calling your development "Effing Forest?"
Already happened... there was just no getting aroung it.
Sounds wonderful and I'm excited for you two.....new job.....new living space....new adventures...enjoy! We'll be out to visit real soon....I know you just can't wait! And Sara, I agree w/Ty about the normal size toilet being the most important!
