Our decision had come down to three choices: a small studio split-level condo one block from the Metro, a two bedroom condo in that same building, or a larger two bedroom condo a few miles away for less money. The idea of a laundry room and a larger kitchen (all for a lower price) really [...]

Before the CPA and I left for California to get engaged, we had begun the business of house hunting. And make no mistake about it – it was a business. We had a realtor who was very serious about finding us the perfect “first home.” We looked at houses that were falling apart and had [...]

In looking through old posts, I realized that I told you all about our engagement story and even the wedding, but I didn’t finish telling you about the ring. As I mentioned in the first segment, there had been quite a bit of drama surrounding my engagement ring. Let me say up front: I’m not usually difficult [...]

Days four and five of our San Francisco trip were just as amazing as the rest of the week. We used our remaining time to do a lot of sight-seeing. At the top of our to do list was the Coit Tower, which we reached after hiking up a rather large hill. Those San Franciscans and [...]

It was the third day of our San Francisco trip and we were officially engaged. And not only were we engaged, but we had a great story to tell when we got back. The CPA had done a good job with planning everything to this point and now his work was done. The rest of [...]

After our short trip into San Francisco, we made our way back to the hotel to pick up our bags and continue on our way. The CPA was being very secretive about this next part of the journey and I was getting excited. I just knew the big moment was near, I could feel it. We [...]

We were on day two of our San Francisco trip and we had yet to actually see San Francisco so that was first on our agenda. True to California weather, it was a gorgeous day so we decided to take the ferry over, but before we could do that, we had to drive over a bridge. Let me [...]

That first day in California was the day we had planned to check out the local landscapes, so after we left the temple grounds, we made our way to Mt. Tamalpais. If you’ve been there before, you know what an incredible drive it is up the mountain. You also probably know how to reach the Mountain [...]

We were almost ready to leave for San Francisco. The reservations had been made and confirmed, our bags were packed, and as I mentioned previously, I had my eyebrows and nails done on the Wednesday before the trip. I mention this so you’ll understand when I say that the next day, Thursday, my eyebrows had [...]
