Because the boys in Oakland just bought a house! Yesterday, J and I went to the title company and signed all the papers. Tomorrow, our real estate agent will be handing over the keys and the hosue will be ours! Yes this is the same house we were agonizing over earlier. On top of being the classic California craftsman style house, the house has a a garden with a Camelia bush, roses, calla lilies and a Meyer lemon tree. I can’t wait to start planting an herb garden and bulbs. Hmm..I wonder how well peonies will do on the West Coast? In any case, my goal is to have has many flowers in our yard as the boys at Parkway Manor.
By the way, I am so loving Glee on Fox. if you don’t unabashedly love that show, you are dead to me.
Enough talk, here’s some pictures of the house.

Peonies? Could we use them in an elementary school production of “Hair”?
