CASH from Uncle Sam!

According to USnews.com, President Obama, has tried even harder to make it easier for First time home buyers. Apparently, we can use the $8000.00 credit towards closing costs and a portion of down payment! Weeeeeeeeeee, free money! The federal government did this to stimulate the housing market. The National Association of Realtors reported that housing sales were up 2.9% for the month of April. Maybe now is a great time to start looking for a home. Interest rates are down and with free money in your hand after the purchase of a new home, I would buy too!

AM Beach- unknown to many

Nesteled away in the woods, across from the Golf Club is a hidden treasure, AM Beach. I adore this beach for its crisp view of an island in the middle of the lake, and its powdery white sand amidst weeping trees that grace the surface of the waterery bliss. That was a mouthful, but I almost feel like I am satisfied after I leave this beach as compared to eating a full meal. I wish to describe it as though I were savouring every bite. I recommend this beach, however, I don't know if you need to be a Sudden Valley resident to see it. If not, just follow the signs off of Lake Whatcom blvd, in Gate 2 that say "AM/PM beaches." AM beach inherited its name because the sun is on it until around 1:30 pm, and then its time to walk a few steps to the PM beach. Literally, a few steps. You will most likely enjoy the "few steps" if you are welcomed by the local bunnies (not playboy bunnies gentlemen!) wild rabbits. AM beach is not a large beach, but I think that is what makes it that much more SPECIAL!

Obama donates 2 billion to Bellingham Mother!

Okay, he didn't actually, but how else am I going to get you to read about Bellingham....

I am really passionate about where I live, Sudden Valley (Bellingham) WA. If you read my bio you would know that I moved here from Seattle. I moved here for two reasons, I was stunned by the affordability in contrast with the lifestyle, and I was overwhelmed with Bellingham's Beauty. WOW! Bellingham is a place that I would compare to its cousin, Hawaii. Yes, you read it right, Hawaii! A few words to describe it- Pristine, green, natural, manicured, affordable, safe, animals, coffee!

I knew that I did not want to raise my two little girls in the city. So here we are. My favorite place that I will post about today is Whatcom Falls. It has two surprises along its trails. Firstly, when you enter the bridge to view the falls, you will be amazed by the crasing water on the rocks. I personally felt that it would be worth a flight just to see it, and was satisfied. Secondly, after a walk about 1/4 mile down the trail, there is a magical place with pottholes, and more waterfalls. Children jumping off the rocks into the surreal lagoon below. I will post photos for your viewing. Truly one more reason to live here.
