Prayer Request (I have to move)
SDDiver:
Will pray. Your deadline is on my birthday.
My wife and I live in the San Diego area and rents are insane here compared to much of the country.
Where in CA do you all live? Gina, Alex, et al? I've been trying (through the forum) to find a group of like-minded believers in SoCal for the past couple years and have not been successful. I know we are far and few between but not that far and that few.
Dennis Vogel:
It's all about the cost of living. You can get a new 3 bedroom ranch in the Mobile, AL area for around $150k and a reasonable apartment for $500.00 a month.
But lots of people here make minimum wage.

Aaaahh. I feel my B.P. on the rise.
I just received a letter from my apartment manager informing me that my rent for this 1 bedroom I have (which I absolutely adore) is being increased from $1210 a month to $1430 a month. I'm trying not to freak out. I could sign another year long lease and pay "only" $1280 a month, but I don't want to be locked into another year lease. If something were to happen to my job, whatever, I'd be up a creek.
Okay, no more ranting.
March 29, 2012 is my deadline to move. This is what I want, and I'm not asking much: I want my own 1-bedroom apartment, must be clean (no bugs), close to my work (10-20 min drive), with a private balcony with a little view, and cool neighbors for under $1100 a month.
Start prayin. Lol
Gina, My Prayers go out in Your behalf. Moving is listed as one of the Top Ten Stressors. Marital Separation, Death of a close loved one, Divorce, Marriage, Job Change, Major Financial Problems.
No wonder Lawyers & Psychiatrists have plenty of business.
Kind Regards, Samson.

oooo I rambled.
Hi, SDDiver! I'm currently in the City of Tustin, in Orange County, about 10 minutes from John Wayne Airport. Alex lives in Fountain Valley about 15 minutes from me. I've never met Alex, but I'd like to meet him. Tried to about 2 years ago, but something came up.
Yes, Dennis, It's all about the cost of living. It's the way it is.
Yes, Samson, I've read and would agree that moving can be a major stressor, but some if not most of that depends on how much crap you own and therefore must move.
lol
I'm so fortunate to live in this Mediterranean climate! My friend Gail and I talk about that all the time--you never hear anyone remarking on that. But what a blessing to me to be here! Right near the Pacific Ocean!
Certainly there are much more beautiful places to live, but when you come from Maryland and have to contend with the winters there and the icy roads and hour-and-a-half commutes from Maryland to D.C., I'm absolutely blown away that God would have put me here!
As a young girl, I would dream of taking walks by myself among the orange groves in the early morning as the sun was rising. Ahhhh--so peaceful. And there aren't too many orange groves around here anymore, but there is an orange grove right down the street from me owned by a really nice elderly man who picks oranges, and sets them outside his grove on a stand, and you walk up and take a bag of fresh-picked oranges and leave 2 bucks. He doesn't wait there to take your money or see if you've paid or anything. It's all on the honor system. It's so dreamy.
God has blessed me so much, Samson. He will send me good movers to move me as well. :)
Thank you all so much for your attention to my prayer request! I will keep you posted! Things are really looking good though, I can tell you that for starters.
Shawn Fainn:
Wow.. I could pay 2x house payments for less here hehe.
Anyway, I'm praying for ya Gina.
