Reisterstown

WE ARE FINALLY HERE!!!! You know how when you fly somewhere and you have to use more than one plane to get there you can't really relax until you are on the last leg of your journey or you have finally arrived. I guess that is how our summer has been. We have had a lot of fun and have enjoyed a lot of different company, but it is so nice to not have to go anywhere for a while. To get everyone up to speed once we got back to the east coast from Alaska we met with a Realtor to help us find a place to live. the next day we signed a lease for a nice townhouse in Reisterstown Maryland. We went back to Bueana Vista to get our stuff and tie up a few loose ends and then we said goodbye to the BV chapter of our lives and moved to Maryland. Before we left we had one more trip to Boxerwood Gardens in Lexington for a little fun. The Manager there built a huge slip-in-slide and the kids (myself included) had a blast.
The Kids had fun playing with old friends and being once again in familiar surroundings. It wouldn't last long though because after about five days we were off again.
I thought I'd post some pictures of our townhouse. It is a Two bedroom 2.5 bath almost 1500 sq. feet. This is our front door. we share a stoop with the home below us. If you were to ring our door bell and then turn around to look at our "front yard" you would see: Our garage is on the lower level and to get to our living room you have to climb two flights of stairs and then another flight to get to our bedrooms. Kevin and I were on our own moving everything for the first 2-3 hours, then some help came from our new ward. We were really grateful because there was no way Kevin and I could move our furniture by our selves. These are the stairs leading down from the front door to the garage. These are the stairs leading to our Living room This is our living room. Please remember we are still moving so there are boxes everywhere and our pictures aren't all up. Kitchen and Family room
This is the kids room We are really happy with Riesterstown. There is a grocery store behind our complex. The elementary school is really close and so is the local library. We could walk if we wanted! (on a cooler day) The kids are adjusting and Kevin is getting excited for school to start soon. August will bring a lot of new and excited things.
