Moving

After much debate over the pains of moving, we decided to find a new apartment in the city. We were having trouble with the neighbors below us smoking pot and it seeping into our apartment. We were miserable and had to get out of there. Luckily, management let us out of our lease and refunded our deposit. We found an apartment that is SO much better (only about 4 blocks away from our old one) and moved in Friday May 9. Though our new place is a little bit smaller, it is very worth it. We are located at the top of a hill and from the front have a great view of the golden gate bridge, ocean, and city from our apartment. From the back of the apartment, we look into a nice wooded area. Our parking here is much better as well and we are even saving quite a bit of money each month by living here. Overall, we LOVE it at our new place! We have enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset each day as well as the fog roll in over the bay at times. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to move to such a great place and are so happy that we made the choice to do it.

Our building is the one way at the top of the hill.

One of many sets of steep stairs leading to the apts... 42 in this section alone!

Dining room... notice the trees out the window!

Who wouldn't want to do dishes with this view?!

The smallest bathroom I have ever seen with "beautiful blue tile" as the landlady said.

The apartment may be small and not very fancy, but it is all about the views!

In other news, Adam accepted an offer for a new job at St. Francis Hospital in downtown SF. He will be working in their registration and billing department and will start this coming week. He will be making about double what he was making at Southwest and will not have to commute. We are very happy about this new opportunity as work at the airlines has been miserable lateley.

And, no post woul be complet without a picture of our plump 14 1/2 pound kitty.

Our baby girl is 1!

How could I have forgotten to post the pictures of our baby girl's first birthday?! She turned 1 on April 1st and we celebrated with a little party for her (if you can call it that). We made a birthday hat for her and made her stand in front of a can of Fancy Feast with a match in it (I'm sure she would have preferred a cake with real candles). I'm not sure she liked it very much; but I know she enjoyed her birthday treat!

At first, she was not very interested...

Then, she discovered it was food!

Mmmm...
