already excited for my new commute

Wow, that's great. The housing and the commuting, I mean.

Thanks, ladies! I forgot another awesome thing about it... If we stand in the driveway, we can see a Performance Bike shop down the street, haha. We have a couple favorite LBS in town that we still intend to go to for tuneups etc, but in case of emergency equipment needs (or a really good sale on apparel...), it will be fabulous to have that within walking distance.

What a wonderful opportunity to live in a nice place with a great commute (bike or walking distance sounds like to me) So, the next question is where is the grocery?

Well, there's a Whole Foods in the same plaza as the Performance, and while they have some delicious stuff there, I certainly can't afford to shop there all the time. Lucky that Fry's (Kroger), Safeway, and Trader Joe's are all within 2 miles as well. And my BF has a BOB trailer and I have a rear rack and will probably be investing in some panniers for my commute anyway...so we'll really have little excuse to use the car for groceries.

Hehe, that might make it a quite expensive move in the long run - no matter how cheap the rent is!

Congrats on the new digs and what sounds like a fun commute!

Congrats on moving in together, and getting to live so close to campus!!!! Hmmm... you seem to have it all: house, in ground pool, close commute, Whole Foods, bike shop nearby, AND you're in AZ! What more could you ask for.

Which campus, BTW? UofA? ASU? Some other campus? I grew up in AZ and attended UofA, and I so miss it dearly. One day I shall return- until then I'll live vicariously through you.

yaaaay U of A! That's where my username comes from... I did my undergrad at the University of Wisconsin (Badgers) and am in grad school at Arizona (Wildcats)

I see you live in Oklahoma now... I've never been there aside from driving through a few times, but I was in the musical in high school if that counts for anything.

yaaaay U of A!

Go Cats! I grew up in Yuma, and I found the funniest thing about the U was the ice hockey team. I'd never seen a game; never even knew there WAS ice hockey in AZ. We went to almost every game we could. I miss Tucson...

That musical his HORRID! It's a good thing I never saw it before moving here or I might not have decided to stay (it's nothing like the musical: we don't sing cheesy songs, we don't ride around in surreys, but the wind DOES blow- they got that right). What were Rogers and Hammerstein thinking??? LOL
