Victor Valley Visit #1

Well, here we are!

What has always been nothing more than a boring, suburban stretch of the I-15 on the drive between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is now our #1 target in the search for our “Forever Home.”

Months and years of searching through a gazillion Zillow listings has left us (we think? we hope? we pray?) ready to move to the next step. I’ve memorized the map and know where so many key places are, but it’s of course one thing to see them on a map and another to drive around town and bump into them.

We’ve got appointments to see A) a couple GORGEOUS houses that we will never, ever be able to afford and B) a bunch that we can afford for about half of what we’re currently paying in rent but they’re grey on gray and boring and suburban and we’ll see what we see.

See all of those hearts on the map? With luck, by Thanksgiving, one of them will pan out and I’ll be draping a bagillion Christmas lights over it for the first time. Or I’ll be bouncing off the walls in a rubber room and taking advantage of massive doses of the miracles of modern sedation.

Could go either way…
