We have enjoyed the last 7+ month renting the house in Ladera Ranch, but it does have a few flaws. One - no cell phone coverage. Dave has some coverage, but my phone has none. And since it is a Company phone I can't switch providers. With my boss in Australia and stores all over the country using my house line is not cost effective. Two - our furniture doesn't fit. Because the 1st floor is divided up into small sections it feel extra small. We ended up having to put the piano in the dining room, the dining room table in the family room near the kitchen and the TV with sectional sofa in the formal living way near the entry. And with such a short lease we just never felt motivated to really unpack everything and make it feel like home. So once the least ended we began the search for an alternative.
This past weekend we moved to a single story older home in Mission Viejo. It has a very open floor plan with a bright feel and great cell phone coverage. Our furniture fits perfectly and is already feeling very homie. Since it is smaller the rent is less too! So with the savings we will be able to get a housekeeper to come in every other week to help us out with the cleaning and give Dave and I more time to spend together on the weekends.
When we get the place organized and box free I will post some pics.
