Moving Pains

Whew! I am tired and I still have no idea how to decorate my house! Gary and I moved into a house, and I am so excited about it. We have never lived in a house before! I love, love, love it! It is so nice to have privacy and not have to worry about playing your music too loud, and stomping too loudly (gary is a very loud walker--he sounds like he is 300 lbs when he is walking around the house).
Here's what I love about my house.
1. It's big. Three bedrooms and a den and a big yard.
2. The neighborhood is cute, and settled. There aren't a bunch of cookie cutter houses around.
3. The neighbors talk to you !
4. My house is old and personalized. Lots of built in shelves and wood work and secret compartments.
5. There are built in laundry hampers in the bathrooms.
6. The canyon behind my house goes on for 12 miles, and there are lots of people (but not too many)on it so I don't feel scared running alone. Lander can run off leash twice a day!
7. There is an awesome tennis/raquetball club literally just behind my yard. Trying to convince Gary to join (he's afraid it is too bourgeousie), but it has a huge pool, hot tub, 23 tennis courts, 3 gyms, classes like yoga and spinning, bar, restaurant. What more could you ask for?
8. Fiesta Island is a 3 minute drive away (off leash dog area for Lander) plus the bay for boating activities (if we buy a boat).
9. There is a big yard area, and a big garage.
10. You can see the nightly seaworld fireworks from my lawn (nightly in summer, weekends in winter).
11. There is a fireplace and lots of windows.

Now all you people don't get me wrong. If you aren't from California then you won't be so excited about a house. Plus this house is by no means a mansion, but in San Diego, things are quite expensive so this was a big deal to move to an actual house. It is so worth it! I feel so grown up!

Now for my next step in growing up...



Ha, you thought I was going to say, have a kid.
No, my next step: invest in the stock market! Wish me luck!
