3 Houses in 2 years

It's been over 2 years since my Dad's job relocated our family to Puerto Rico. On June 25, 2005, my mother, brother, and I left New Jersey to our new home in this hot Island called Puerto Rico. The Island wasn't strange to us since we have vacation here many times and currently have family from both my mom and dad's side. However, living here was a new adventure for all of us. We came to live here not knowing what to expect.....I must admit, I was very hesitant at the beginning since I was leaving all my friends and family.

Nevertheless, the first house we moved to was amazing. One floor ,spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in La Serrenia. A perfect house to live in when one is moving to a new country. Unfortunately we had contracted it for 2 years and our contract was a little more than half way done. So we packed up our things and moved to another home in Quinta San LuisII.

Now this second house was bigger than the first. I liked the hosue I had my own room for the first time and my brother had his own room - what more could I ask for?.... Despite all the good things in this house we had one major problem. The house was infested with termites. Im not talking about a family of termites - I'm talking about the New York City of termites. So after six months my parents decided we needed to move again for the third time in less then 2 years. This time around I think we have made the right choice in houses. Although the commute is a bit harsh I love this house.

The third hosue is located in Veredas, Gurabo. This facility has to be the best in puerto Rico. It has a gym, 2 pools, 4 tennis courts, 3 basketball courts, a building for yoga parties etc., and a baseball field. If you ask me this house is amazing. The house itself is a bit smaller than the others,but it is 2 floors. Now that Christine is living with us we needed the extra room so its a good thing we have 5 bedrooms upstairs.I think this house is awesome hope all who read this come to visit sometime.
