It’s been a while since I last posted. Moving 3 times in 6 months & having a new job can do that…

Anyways, our house in NH sold. It wasn’t even on the market 2 weeks! Yes, we got nickled & dimed and over all lost money, but not having to pay a mortgage on an empty house for the next couple years is worth it.

Unfortunately the buyer did not want the box of midget porn, but she did want our kayaks and brand new Temperpedic bed… SIGH…

Well, it’s over with now & we moved once again, from a temporary apartment in San Mateo, to a rental house in the San Carlos hills. We have an awesome view of San Mateo to San Jose, too. We’re still not completely settled in yet, plus there’s problems with the house like the lights, a nightly intruder I named “Ratty”, and getting Comcast to come out to our house for more than 5 minutes at a time and actually connect us to the internet, but over all we are happy here and hoping not to move ever again. Well, at least for a couple years…

Last February my husband & I threw a few things in a Uhaul & moved to California. We were in a hurry and left a disaster at our house in New Hampshire. A couple weeks ago I flew back to clean up the mess and put our house up for sale.

I gave away some furniture, hauled a ton of stuff to the dump, and packed up the rest. I labeled all the boxes and stacked them in the closets so the house is not too cluttered for potential buyers.

Just in case some of these potential buyers get a bit nosy and start looking at the stuff in my closets, I left this box on top…

We are leaving the snow, cold, and our little house in NH and heading back to the west coast - next week! This is a really quick move, but my husband & I have been thinking about going to San Francisco, or back to Seattle, for almost a year now. It’s been a struggle to make a living for the 3 years we’ve been in NH and now with the ecconomy really bad, we’re luck to have this opportunity.

We’ve rented a temporary apartment in San Mateo, just south of San Francisco. There’s not only a sushi restaurant accross the street, but also a Whole Foods. How cool is that? Well, maybe that’s no big deal for most people, but here in rural NH it’s a 30 minute drive to the nearest grocery store & almost 2 hours to a Whole Foods.

It’s been nice being near my family (I grew up in NH) and we will really miss our house with an acre of land on a river. It’s so nice here in the summer but it’s time to go back to the city. California, here we come!
