HOME SWEET HOME

We purchased our second home in Menifee and we love it. This area has grown so much from 15 years ago when I first moved to this town and the only selling point was "Marissa, you can ride your bike around the Lake". There's now signals, Target, Ross, a gym, fast food places, Cold Stone, Papa John's and one of my favorite breakfast resturants is opening...I-HOP! If only this town was like this when I was 12! But I don't think I'd appreciate it now as much as I do if it all was always here, I have enjoyed watching it grow. The only dissapointing thing is 15 years later and nothing is built on the land across from Target! Eileen and I would dream of a mall, a movie theatre, an amusement park ect. ect. each morning our school bus passed down that land on Newport Rd. We would have been thrilled about a library, but nothing came back then and nothings there now! Besides that downfall I can't complain! It takes me the same amount of time to get to the Temecula mall as it does people who live in Temecula. We live in a two story 3000 sq. ft. home only 2 minutes away from 2 grocery stores (when you're old it's a real treat to switch between Albertsons and Stater Brothers). God has really blessed us! There's a sports park being built within walking distance from our home, which will be great if we are still living here when we have kids. Not many know where the heck Menifee is but I'm glad this town found me!
