Our New Home in Foster City!

After 3 weeks of packing, 9 hours of driving (with three boys and a dog), and a hassle with the movers we have arrived in Foster City. We planned on moving into our townhouse on Saturday. On Thursday the movers came and packed all of our stuff. Right before they were done the foreman informed us that we would be receiving our items on Tuesday, not Saturday. Everything was going smoothly until this happened. I started to panic because I did not pack enough clothes to last us until Tuesday. After many conversations and Eric being upset they agreed to deliver our load on Sunday morning.

They arrived at 7:00 a.m. They left at around noon. We were so glad our stuff was in our house. Now it was time for me to start organizing. I took before and after pictures of our townhouse. Here is the building we live in. We are parked in front of our garage and our door is to the right. 



Our front entrance. We put the bench from Becky's wedding under the window. I am trying to look for a beautiful wreath to hang on the door.


The boys running up to the door. Kyle is going the wrong way though.

The kitchen. Before we moved in the property managment remodeled everything, so all the appliances and cabinets are brand new :)


The boys' room before. 




After....I still need to put the red curtains up and I am going to put their "name" pictures above the windows.


This is the view they have from their window.

Our room before.


I don't have an after picture yet. I am still trying to organize it and get rid of any clothes we don't need. Even though the closets are walk-in they are tiny. 

Our bathroom


The view from our porch. 


Behind our porch. 


Areas around our little community. The first one is one of the two pools.



The water channel and walk/bike way behind the community. The water is a little low in this picture. They say it rises when the tide come in, usually late afternoon. 


When we exit our townhouse and turn left there is a little "lake" with a ton of ducks in it. The boys love to feed them. They can also fee them from the porch. 


We really like our new place (it would even better if we had family close by). I thought Las Vegas was a melting pot, but there are a lot of different ethnicity's here. We look forward to visiting all of the fun attractions in Foster City and the Bay area. We are also excited and look forward to the time when anyone is able to visit :) :) :)

  1. Looks like a lovely place to live! Also looks like you are fairly close to where the natural gas explosion destroyed a few homes. Could happen to any of us. Glad it missed you guys. Luv
