Apartment tour: Outside

Moving across the ocean to a country with an entirely different culture and lifestyle than what you've lived for almost 30 years is pretty difficult.  But I have to say, so many of our prayers have been answered.  Even the little things.  Our apartment was a huge answer to prayer.  

Back home, the places that we lived, the majority live in houses with yards whether the house is owned or rented.  Here, it seems that the majority (even in small suburban towns) live in apartments.  

Let me tell you more about our home (again).  It's 3 bed, 2 bath.  It's less than a 2 minute walk from our door to the door of Bryce's office door.  It's on the first floor.  The FIRST FLOOR!  That means it feels like we have our own yard even though it's not mowed by us and it's shared space.   

She loves being outside.  We really took advantage of the nice weather right when we moved here.

There's a law about 10+ apartments requiring a play structure.  Our area is pretty simple with a swing, a balance beam, bars, a sand box and a table.  We do have a hobby of visiting other nearby apartment play grounds on a regular basis. 

This gives you an idea of what our space looks like--that's our place on the left.  The greenhouse looking thing is a covered bike area.
