In other news, Chelsea and I put an offer in on a condo in Oceanside and it got accepted the very next day, yeahhhh. Its a two bedroom two bath with 1050 square feet (better come enjoy the extra bedroom before its gets occupied). We are super excited to live 10 min from Chelsea's school and to cut my commute to work in half. Plus we are going to be about 2 miles from the beach. The condo is right off the 5 freeway in between the 76 and the 78. We will miss living in La Jolla but look forward to being able to paint and decorate our new place however we want. We are going to have to buy all the appliances but thanks to Schwarzenegger and Obama's first time home buyers tax credits, the government will be buying our appliances for us with money to spare. We are on the second floor which Chelsea likes because she feels safer on the second floor but what she is forgetting about is Spiderman wanna be burglars. She's gonna have nightmares tonight now. There is also a community pool, spa, gym, clubhouse and tennis court which means HOA fees, bleh. Its cool though cause our total monthly mortgage is barely higher than the amount we pay for rent right now, except now we get something out of it. Here are just a few pictures of the new place:
Escrow has not been finalized and we are currently waiting to see if the seller will lower the price to the appraised value that we just received, but if all goes well we hope to close and start moving in on May 21-22. So if anyone owns a truck or has two hands, maybe a charitable heart too, and would love to help lift heavy things than come on down.
Lastly, I will be having a graduation party on Saturday June 12, hopefully at our new place in Oceanside and all are welcome to come. I will provide more info as the date gets closer.

congrates, 1st time home buyers!
The condo looks fabulous.
Can't wait to come and see it sometime in December. We'll be okay to if we need to get a hotel, due to an additional occupant. :)
love you guys!
you HAVE to add Modern Family to that TV list... it is the best show ever. I know one thing you could do with all your free time... blog more!
We are going to come to your party no matter WHAT! Even if that means I have to kidnap Greg from the hospital. Congrats on the new place! Two bedroom eh? Baby eh?
We miss you guys!
If escrow falls through, I can help you find something closer to work...and us. There are some lovely town homes close by that are relatively inexpensive (notice the term relatively).
I agree about Modern Family, hilarious.
I agree that you do have to add Modern Family to that good list of yours :) You will not regret it. The new condo looks really great! I'm so excited for you guys, and hope we will still find time to still get together!
Wow! I'm so glad you put up a new post--you're new place looks amazing. You got the job, the girl, the home, the beach!! And lots of tv. Hopefully aaron and I can visit this summer again before chelsea has a real bun in the oven ;)
