Spent most of my life there and understand how expensive it is. Moved to WA State 15 yrs ago and bought a home, which seemed like a steal compared to prices in CA. I hate the weather here and am 15 yrs past due to move. My home is for sale here and I bought a small home Tonita https://www.blogger.com/profile/11495976337458455805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13907926.post-5469578851346979442014-10-26T08:17:59.206-07:002014-10-26T08:17:59.206-07:00Praying for your search, my friend.
