We did it. We signed a lease on an apartment. For the next year, we'll be living in one place. This is a concept that has not yet fully sunk in. The apartment is nice - for apartments in our budget, we can have two dogs, the manager is friendly, and the location is convenient to needs and friends (who are, in essence, a need).
I think I'm ready to put my head down in one place for a while. The camper was a home of sorts, but not really - it wasn't terribly baby-friendly, the plumbing only worked some of the time, and it was so very tiny that things got tight fast. It was wonderful to stay with friends for a while, but even then we were in and out in other people's territory, in a house that was also under construction.
Now all of our needs (save laundry) are on a single level. We have an oasis that is just ours. We have doors on our rooms, and a bathroom that is all our own. A kitchen with a working sink. No more need to haul water or dishes. These little conveniences really mean a lot after you've lived without.
I'm off to bed soon. I'm going to snuggle in next to my husband and enjoy the feel of being home.
