New City. Big City.

I don't have the most interesting life. I work as a Pharmacy Tech fulltime which has become a Monday-Friday job for me ever since we moved to San Diego. I must say I am really enjoying the weekends off. More time I get to spend with my husband. This city is a lot different than Lemoore, where we were stationed last. I miss it there, as crazy as that sounds, I do miss that place. Lemoore will always have a place in my heart. I left a great job, great friends a great house and took some wonderful memories with me that I will never forget. Lemoore was a small town like where I grew up and I think that's something I liked about it most. Plus for California the cost of living wasn't bad there at all and I make way more money on the West Coast than I did on the East Coast. Moving here the cost of living is definatly higher, we have what they call "Sunshine Tax" here. Though it isn't always sunny, it's been pretty good weather here so far, I can't complain. Except right now we live in a condo (we're moving AGAIN soon) and it doesn't have any A/C and I have been spoiled my whole life with A/C so this past week I was dying without it, 2 fans in the whole house does not cool a place down. This city has so much to offer though, there's tons of stores that are 5,10 or even just 30 minutes away.. I'm right down the street from an IN N OUT where in Lemoore we had to drive 45 minutes to the closest one. There's Ikea, Sephora, Victorias Secret, and countless other places. In DOWNTOWN San Diego there are tons of cute shops and fun bars and places to eat. I have had some great memories here already with my husband and with the friends that have come to visit, and I have only been living in the city since March. We've been staying in this condo, which is nice, but I mean, it's just not for us. We have our dogs and with dogs and no yard, it's really hard. We learned that the hard way. Plus moving to a big city, living on the bottom floor on a 4 story condo building with our dogs, all these new noises when we first got here, they barked like crazy for hours when we were at work and we kept getting these nasty notes from our neighbor saying how her head hurts and blah blah. We also actually got a complaint filed against us saying if they hear anything else about our dogs we have to move or remove them from the property. So that had us really stressing out when we first moved here, but we found a new way to keep them locked up when we were gone so they have less things to look at/listen to and we haven't gotten a complaint in months :) I just can't wait to live in a house again... My husand is currently deployed out to sea. So I am sort of lonely at times, but I have been reading a lot and started exercising. I have lost weight some moving here which is ALWAYS good news. I just need to keep up the good eating habits and be less picky about my food, I'm working on it. But it's hard. This saturday is going to be SUCH A FUN DAY. The San Diego Comic Con is here starting tomorrow, which I WISH I was going to, but I want to save money, so I'm not going, but on saturday I am participating in a Zombie Walk which is right in downtown in front of the convention center with hundreds of other "ZOMBIES" and it's going to be a freaking blast. I am going with my good friend Brandy and I can't wait. I met her while we were stationed in Lemoore, our husbands used to work together, etc.. and they got stationed out here a few months before we did. So it's great having aleast one friend out here, besides the people I work with. Well that's all for now, I am sleepy :) goodnight world.
