In Maryland

And here we are.  We made it to Maryland.  I would be more excited if we didn't have an angry neighbor who decided to yell on his phone for an hour last night.  Lots of f-bombs.  Angry neighbors scare me.  Other than that, things are going pretty well.  Our apartment is what we need it to be (mostly) for the time being.  There are lots of restaurants and shops convenient to us.  Things just seem to be in a short driving distance in general and I appreciate that. 

One thing that does freak me out though is that the highways are lined with trees.  I can't see where I'm going!  It's a little unnerving since I don't know where things are yet.  I'm sure in a couple months it will be beautiful. 

Something else that is fantastic about the area is the temperature.  Even when it's warm outside, there's a nice breeze that doesn't just waft more hot air in your face but cools you down a bit.  I'm kind of excited to go check out Annapolis because I'm sure there's going to be an even nicer breeze by the water. 

It's a little hard to fathom what the coming holidays and events are going to be like in this new area.  We have to remain frugal while we're waiting to sell our house because we only have a certain amount that the company will assist with.  It's fun experiencing a new area and a new adventure, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared out of my mind right now. The coming months hold a lot of unknowns, but we'll do our best to figure it all out.
