Movin'

With the new little one coming, Jared and I decided we needed a bigger place than our two-bedroom apartment. It took us awhile to decide what to do... buy or keep renting. We made a decision to rent a place while here in California since the market is still so unstable and we know we will be leaving in 2-3 years. So we found a great townhome in Carlsbad that we were able to work out a great 3-year lease from a fellow Navy guy now stationed in Washington DC. It's a great neighborhood with a park across the street... and best of all we have an extra room for all who want to come visit!


Moving wasn't all too hard since we hired movers. Jared doesn't think I am very strong... and I play up to his thinking:) We also had another curve ball thrown at us on Wednesday night when I received an urgent email from my partnership that we needed to cut 10% of our workforce yet again, and it needed to be done within 48 hours. So the big D trumped our plans once again, and I spent most of Thursday and a good deal of Friday on conference calls.


But the house looks fabulous so far, and I am surprised at how quickly we were able to get settled in (thanks Jared). Now it's just a lot of shopping to finish decorating so much more space!

  1. Love your new place.. you will love having the new place when your little one arrives. It is crazy how much space gets taken up by swings, bouncers, high chairs, cribs, etc. Good choice - your place looks great! Nice to have some friends to visit in California.
