And awaaay we go to San Francisco

Our lifestyle confuses people. Living in two places at the same time is confusing. Since 2004, Dave and I have bounced back and forth on a semi-regular basis between a house in the south and an apartment on the west coast, for business reasons. I have had to explain our split domicile way of life, often more than once, to just about everyone.

The explanation goes like this: Our permanent address is our cozy home in Tennessee. Our apartment in San Diego has been our home-away-from-home since 2004 and we go there a lot because corporate headquarters are there.

However, Cubic has a big contract in San Francisco, so, come the third week of June, our California apartment will be in SAN FRANCISCO. We are moving from San Diego to the city on the bay. Which does NOT mean we are giving up our home in Tennessee. It is, after all, our home.

When I tell people we are moving but will still live in Tullahoma, they don't get it. That's because when NORMAL people move, they LEAVE one address and relocate to a different singular address. Normal ain't us.

We have leased a beautiful two bedroom apartment on the 15th floor of this amazing building in the downtown area. We have views of the Bay Bridge and AT&T park from our livingroom.

Here are some pics for you.

See the roundy bit on this building? Our apartment is in the roundy bit.

Here's the floorplan. Notice the roundy bit. It is entirely windows.

This sales model is on the 5th floor, so the view is not so cool. See the pillars? See the windows? This is the roundy bit from the inside. This is not our furniture. I downloaded this pic from the comples' website. Imagine what the view is like from 10 stories higher.

This is a partial view of the kitchen, again in the model.

And across the street: public transportation of every kind, a Safeway, Panera Bread, Starbucks, Borders books, the public library, our bank and a wonderful nail salon. Down the street: O'Neill's Irish Pub. And the ballpark.

GOD! THE SACRIFICES WE MAKE FOR THIS COMPANY!!
