In 2001 I graduated from my starter home to this house. No longer is there one bathroom for the entire house.
I do have to admit that 4/3 is a lot for 1 person and 2 cats.
Finally, Cable Internet came to our area. (Although DSL is still not available), so at least I'm no longer stuck with dial-up internet.

The commute to work isn't too bad. It's about 35 minutes and the traffic is pretty light. It's not as good as the 15 minutes to the last job, but at least I have a job!

Here's the first house I owned in Salinas.

Here's the last apartment I used to live in.
