Yes, yet another baby announcement from friends. My old highschool buddy – Felix – and his wife are expecting their first this summer. Thankfully, they aren’t one of those annoying couples who refuse to determine the sex of the kid. I just hate buying uni-sex baby stuff. It isn’t nearly as much fun as shopping with a gender in mind.<\/p>\n
I am, however, quite excited. I’ve been trying to get them to leave the Bay area and move up to Portland. Now with a baby on the way, I have a much stronger arguement. Better schools, cheaper housing, and very family friendly city are all here in the northwest. They’d be a fool to try and raise a kid in the overcrowed, polluted, expensive San Jose area. Yup, I better start looking for some prime real estate because I figure it’s only a matter of time before they’re knocking at my door ready to become the newest CA transplant.<\/p>\n
It’s funny because just last night Kevin was talking about how all of our married friends have kids right not. This thought depressed him. Yesterday, I was able to point out that Felix & Kathy were still childless and this cheered Kevin considerably. I don’t know how he’s going to take the news of a little Lin on the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
