Things I like about living in Serra Mesa....So far.

I love the layout of our house. I know I have yet to post pictures. I am waiting till we get our couch and I get all the pictures hung. We have tons of storage and only two floors :)
I like that there are two closets in the master bedroom, one for me (the walk in) and one for David (a regular closet).
I really like having free wireless Internet. We had the same thing at Gateway but it never seemed to work on our computer.
I like that our garage opens to a play area. Its so nice that I can go sit on a bench and read while Christy rides her bike. The really great thing is that on three sides of the play area are garages and the fourth side is an alleyway so no worries about traffic :)
I like that Christy's school is half a mile away and that Christy has to cross a major road to get to school. It makes me get up every morning and walk her to school and I also have to go get her in the afternoon.
I like that her school starts at 7:30am, let me explain this one because at first I was not to happy about this fact. We leave the house anytime between 6:55 and 7:10. I walk Christy to school and its quiet outside and its nice. Not to cool. After I drop her off I go walk. There is no point in me just going back home, so I walk. It is so nice. I walk around our village (which is alot bigger than Gateway) and enjoy the birds and the quiet. It takes me about an hour to get home. Maybe I will lose some weight :)
I like the variety of homes in our village. Gateway only had a few variations, here there are many.
I like that there are many play areas and that they are quite large play areas.
I like that there are no bums in this area. There are so many in Point Loma.
I enjoy that this area really is quite a nice area.
I really like that we get free maintenance...Iwill be utilizing that to the fullest. Speaking of which the light cover in the kitchen still has not been put back, I need to call maintenance.
I like not having a car (this might change quickly), it forces me to get out and walk and it is going to save us a ton of money.
I like that I can look out my bedroom window and see hummingbirds :)
There are many more things I like about living in Serra Mesa. At first I admit I was worried that I had made a mistake and choose the wrong area. I am happy that we are here. I am really happy that we will be here for a least two years. Finally a little stability for us. Now to work on the baby situation :)
Pictures will come soon, I promise!

Yay for stability and yay for a possible baby situation! :) I would loath not having a car though...That'd really get to me...Then again, I don't live anywhere NEAR anything fun to walk to.

Oh and one more thing, I can't forget how much I like that there was a brand new washer, dryer and dishwasher when I moved in. I really like that :)

Sounds just lovely! I hope we will be able to come visit sometime! Maybe when you have a baby, I can come help?

I'm glad that you are happy and that things are working out for you. maybe dad can get you a big tax return so you can get a second car if you need to
