Home Sweet Home

After looking at apartment after apartment, they all start to blend together. Some are dirty. Some are creepy. Some feel safe and others don't.

Some are great.
And those are the ones we can't afford.

I called and spoke with a complex to price an apartment. They had no availability for what I was looking for, but I decided to go take a look anyway.

But I don't think it was really a decision I made, more so it was God's divine intervention.

You see, just as I entered the leasing office, a young couple was wrapping up the paperwork to upgrade their unit. They had been in theirs for years, loved the place, but felt like a change, so they upgraded, leaving their unit.

For us.

I just happened to arrive the very minute, literally, that the kind of place I was looking for (amenities, cost, everything) opened.

The leaser told me that the particular model I leased goes very quickly, and seldom even makes it to advertisement.

Yay! I have a home now!
Thank God!

Rancho Bernardo

Oceanside

On Saturday, I visited Oceanside with Dan, Susan, Alice, and Nathan. It was beautiful! Dan, Nathan, and myself slowly made our way out on the jetty, sitting down on the rocks and enjoying the warm sun and cool ocean spray. Then we drove down to the nearby pier, watching surfers, sailboats, and fisherman. It was a wonderful day. I'm trying to adjust to the idea that all these great places and fun things to do are all within a half-hour's drive. That's definitely not something I'm used to. Its going to be awesome when Kimberly and I are here together!
