House Hunting

Scott and I just got back from a week in CA. We were out there mainly to house hunt, but squeezed in some fun time with my parents and Scott's good friend Billy.

House hunting is exhausting. We went for about 2 and a half days, non stop looking at houses. And when we got home in the evenings, all we did was talk about the houses that we saw and the lifestyle that we would like to live. It's coming down to making a choice between living in Temecula or Oceanside. There are pros and cons to both, but really it comes down to what we see for ourselves in the next 3-4 years. Temecula is a family oriented area: bigger houses, bigger yards, but not much nightlife. It seems like everyone out there is married with 2 or more kids. Plus, it's a good hour's drive to the beach, and Scott's commute to work would be longer. Oceanside is much closer to the beach, my parents, and San Diego, but you don't get as much for your money and there are some sketchy areas around there. Picking the right street and neighborhood is going to be very important in Oceanside. Lots to think about in the next month or so - fortunately, the realtor will be doing most of the work from here on out!!

BTW - the bridesmaid's dresses are in!! They look great.
