Beach Cruisers & Mission Hills :)

My roommie and I both got beach cruisers! It was so cool the way it worked out. To make a semi-long story short... we left the house to look at a bike for her and ended up not buying that particular one but two other ones in PB and Bay Park for me and her... and stuffing both of them into the back of her Jetta! We got them for 40 bucks each! Sweet deal right?! For beach cruisers that's pretty good. Mine is light blue and hers is light purple. So far, we've cruised around all over Hillcrest mainly but a little of Mission Hills and University Heights as well. It's soooo much fun! The weather is gorgeous and I love our neighborhood. We passed by so many cool shops and restaurants, of course. Lots of home home & decor stores and vintage clothing stores too. We found this one vintage clothing store in University Heights that had some cool stuff. Name brands and all for all of us label girls. Well... I'm only a label girl when it comes to certain things -or clothes it's mainly for jeans. We couldn't stop @ every place we wanted cause we don't have locks yet. A lock and basket are in definite order a-sap. My booty still needs to adjust to the bike seat tho... I still get a little sore :)

Oh Mission Hills, how I love thee. I know I'm a nerd... but I seriously LOVE where I live. I love the fact that I can ride my bike around, that I can take my laptop a short distance to numerous coffee shops and get free wi-fi, I love all the local restaurants, I love how centrally located it is too... that I can easily access the 5 and 163. It's close to Balboa Park :) And the Rock :) :) (that's an extra BIG smiley face, FYI). I'm sooo glad to be living "uptown" and not in suburbia anymore! (Well... not that Esco was suburbia, really - ha, maybe a slightly more ghetto version of suburbia! It was just too residential for me.) I love our balcony and the lovely breeze our apartment gets. Leo's extra happy to be able to venture outside too! I love the fact that Sushi Deli is in my backyard and that there's a yogurt place down the street. AND that there are grocery stores galore within walking and biking distance.

Thank you LORD for hooking us up with such a RAD location to live. See kiddos - this is what happens when you allow GOD control and ask Him to place you where He wants you to be. It'll always be to our benefit! I'll leave you with one of my all-time favorite verses: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
