Living in San Diego

Well, it looks like Kevin will be going to Recruiter's School at the Marine Corps Recuit Depot in San Diego. We're pretty excited about living in San Diego.

Since we will only be there for a few months while he goes to school (July-October), we decided to spend a little more and get an apartment right in San Diego. He will have only a 7 minute drive to MCRD. So we'll make up the cost of extra rent in gas money alone - considering the price of gas is probably around $4/gallon in San Diego!

We've already picked out our apartment. It's newly built and here are some pictures:







Our apartment is right near the pool, which should be pretty fun! Kevin and I LOVE to swim. We're like a couple of fish. Last summer, we went swimming every day after work. We swam so much I ended up getting swimmer's ear. Ouch!

Our apartment also has an air conditioner!! YAY! In our old apartment we didnt have one and it got terribly hot during the summer. On some days, it was 85 degrees in our apartment, and SUPER humid. It also comes with other fancy things like - granite countertops, 9-foot ceilings, a fancy sliding door on the shower (i'm really excited for this, our old apartment only had a curtain and it was a pain to avoid splashing water all over the bathroom).

A little over 1 month until Kevin comes home!

I CAN'T WAAAAAIT! *squirm*
