Leif and I have been slightly more and more inclined to searching the Valencia/Santa Clarita area lately for our future mansion.
Many reasons. Now that he is working at home, the idea of living out in that direction definitely has some great advantages.
1. The whole area up there is basically a huge shopping mall. Almost all of it.
2. LOTS of open space out there, not as crowded.
3. Cleaner.
4. Newer.
5. More bang for your buck where houses are concerned - what you can get in Valencia/Stevenson Ranch/Newhall/Santa Clarita for about $600 K would be worth upwards of a mil down in Glendale/La Canada.
Anyways, never thought I’d be saying these things… I’ve always loathed the long drive to Glendale but honestly I wouldn’t mind the extra few minutes drive a couple times a week for whatever.
I find myself travelling to Valencia for something almost every day or every other day anyways. If we could find some huge beautiful house with a nice big backyard (definitely a must!) that’s built not older than the year 2000 for less that $600 K within minutes of the shops - heeeaven.
So what else is new…
Oh and I never thought I’d be saying this either or even consider paying hundreds of dollars for a frikken stroller but I am in love with this thing and can’t wait to have another baby so that I can buy it, LOL!!:

Ok the end, I have nothing else much interesting to ramble about.
Day in and day out of the same actions, but I love it.
Soon NJ will be better and we can go out and play more.
