  We were fortunate enough to leave the apartment and move into a new townhouse in Rockville, MD
 - 
  
  I had my seventh birthday party at a local indoor sports facility.

  I had my eighth birthday party at our townhouse.

  Although it makes for a good experience, living in a dorm is simply too costly and an inconvenience in terms of privacy and such.
