New Home

In a week or so we will be moving to a new place. Its a condominium. Whats the difference between an apartment and condo anyway? All I know is we're moving out of Vallejo! YEY!

If you're from the area you would understand why I'm so happy leaving Vallejo. I can't go out and see the sites here by myself. The first time I went out to buy myself some Chinese lunch, a guy started talking to me saying "Hey girl, wazzup?". I totally ignored him as if I had earphones on listening to an extremely loud music. But I had nothing on. He got mad and said "You're so hot you can't speak?". It was flattering but really scary. I was about to cross the street when he started yelling but the pedestrian sign was still on stop. I was praying and praying the whole time. Then I ran when the sign said WALK.

Before I came here in the US, my husband sent me pictures of apartments we can choose from . I fell in love with this apartment because of its Victorian style. Most of the houses in this area have the same style. When you walk or drive down the street you'll see beautiful Victorian houses.

But what I love most in this apartment is the kitchen. The granite counter top, the big gas range and the over the range microwave oven. The whole kitchen is not that big but its neat and again the GRANITE counter top!

It was OK to stay here for a while because I don't really need to go out. I can just stay at home and watch TV all day. But when I need something that's when it gets hard.I have to take a bus because there's no groceries or mall nearby. I'm fine taking the bus. I just walk really fast going to the bus stop so no one will bother me again. I still received a lot of "Hey Girl" while walking but its not that bad as the first experience I had.

I've taken the bus going to SFO, Pleasant hill and Walnut Creek by myself. I never had any problems. The drivers were very friendly. I felt safer when I'm inside the bus. Its just the walking that I don't like.

I'm trading it all for a patio, bedroom side balcony, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, another bedroom, extra storage space in the kitchen and patio, pool and a safer and a more accessible place. It costs a lot more than what we pay now but its worth the price. Shops and malls are just walking distance.

I'm so excited to move there!. I can spend my days at KOHLS or MARSHALLS! I can have my frozen yogurt any time I want! Super YEY!

Our future patio. That's my hubby.He's already planning his smoke breaks.
