Still Alive!

We are still alive.

We arrived in Huntington Beach safely after a wonderfully long ride with a 24 foot truck with an auto trailer and our Pilot pluggin away down the 5. We are all moved in to our new place. I will email our address to all! If you don't think I have your email you can leave your email so I can get it to you if you want to send us packages full of house warming gifts. :)

We LOVE our new place. We decided that we live in the ghetto if one of the following is near us...

1. the number of liquor stores
2. Food Max
3. Dollar stores
4. Laundromats

In our first place in Walnut Creek (well Concord actually) there was 3 liqour stores in like a mile radius of our house, at least 4 dollar stores, and 1 Food Max. GHETTO!!!

In our second place we lived, I don't remember any liqour stores nearby, but we did have a couple laundramats, a Food Max within a mile from us, and two people were murdered on our street while we lived there. (We fortunately were on vacation when the incident actually happened.) GHEtto, but really not as bad as the first place.

Then we moved to Huntington Beach! I think there is 1 liqour store about a mile away from our place, but I haven't seen a laundromat, dollar store, a,nd the Food Max is 236 miles away! :) (We know cause although it is ghetto, they sell cheap food, and we checked on our GPS and were sad and glad to know the closest Food Max is in Bakersfield.)

So are we out of the ghetto?

YES!

Sorry we don't have pictures yet! Our internet will not be hooked up until the 10th, so right now we are bumming internet off of people in our complex (thanks default) and only our little ibook can get the connection if we are in our bedroom... and this computer takes WAY to long to download the pictures from our camera.... so you will have to wait.)

Our apartment is 2 bedrooms, we have a W/D hookups, TONS more storage than before, new windows, carpet, tile, and avocado green counters in the kitchen! I love it. The best part is... it takes us 3 MINUTES to drive to the beach! We love it. We have been beach bums! Everyone in Huntington Beach ride beach cruisers and on Tuesday nights they close down main street and have a farmers market, bands, activities for the kids etc. We are going to love it here!

Ok, I hate the posts that have all the writing and no pictures, so I will end here, but by the 10th we will have tons of pictures up.
