Homeowners

The goal of this blog is to document the travels and follies of 2 new homeowners.

So we now have the thing we thought we would never have...a home with a fixed 30 year mortgage in San Diego. We are not talking about Rancho Bernando, Alpine or even Tijuana. We are actually in the city of San Diego, City Heights to be exact. The neighborhood is well transitional, but coming up. You can buy Mexican coke, real sugar no corn syrup, and there is a woman around the corner who sells tamales and boiled corn. We live across the street from Reverend Molly. My commute to the base is only 7 minutes.

The house is 3 bedrooms/2.5 baths and has a yard. It was built in 2005 and has new tile floors, granite countertops, black appliances, and ceiling fans.

All we needed to do was move in, buy a fridge, washer/dryer, get the garage door fixed, get the ceiling fan fixed, get the stove fixed, and install a new disposal, new door and new door locks. We did all of this in two and a half weeks.

Now we are sitting in Rhode Island. We have a great house sitter who is taking care of the house. The ironic thing is Wayne doesn't really get to live there until he comes back from deployment next year. Marian will be back soon after the new year after she finishes command spouse leadership.
