We live in an apartment.  We’re hoping that we will soon be able to move to a house so that M has a yard to play in.  It will also be nice not to have to listen to the upstairs neighbor stomp across the floor at 5am and have a kitchen that has more than 2 feet of counter space. 

While we’re mostly comfortable where we live, I have definitely been itching to move.  Today, however, M made me realize that it’s all in how you look at it. 

As we pulled into the complex and waited for the parking lot gate to open, M said, “Our house!” 

“Yes, this is our home,” I answered.

“It’s a castle,” she breathed. 

All I could do was smile.
