Moving apartments

Ever since I got pregnant Andy and I have thought about moving. It is human nature to think another human equals needing more space. We instantly thought our place was too small. I started looking at our apartment differently. I started seeing the negative things whereas before I loved every inch of it. I always felt blessed with a roof over our head and we were in the best location EVER. Andy and I have always said we wanted a great location over anything. I want to be able to walk outside and be by people and a Starbucks in a minute.

In Europe people don't spend much time inside. I know myself. If I have a bigger place with 5 rooms I am going to become a recluse. Especially because the huge apartment would be a lot further from the city. Ugh. Scary. Would I leave as much thinking I needed to get on 2 trams before getting there?

Andy and I also have a lot of friends here that have big apartments. We started thinking we had to upgrade right away because our place was nothing like theirs. So sad. That is not what God wants. God wants us to look at our homes and love, cherish, desire it. Here he is giving us this blessing of a house and we are saying it isn't good enough. Most of our friends here are in their later 30's and 40's. Their work contracts are ENORMOUS. Their work pays for everything. That is not the case with us. We just get a cost of living adjustment.

We need to stop comparing. It isn't what life is about? If we don't stop comparing, our whole lives will turn into one big failure. We will never be the richest.

When I look at our place with the vision of not wanting to leave, I am obsessed with our place. I love the lighting. I love our balcony. I love our huge family room. I love all the windows. I love our location times a million. Can't say this enough. Love our 2 bedrooms. Love how cozy it is.

There is enough space. Within these walls is so much love. I feel the closest families are the ones that have 5 people living in a 2 bedroom. God did not create this world for us to stay inside. He created the outdoors for us to explore.

It is safe to say we are staying in our cozy 2 bedroom with our Baby G
