Tonight, I am in an extremely clean and dog free house. After watering this morning, I pulled all of the furniture out of the living room and gave the entire upstairs of the house a deep clean. It has really needed it. We have had a lot of rain this winter and every time we get a little mud in the yard….the dogs track up the house within an hour.
At the end of the day today (a few minutes ago), I sat down on the couch and looked up the driveway through our cool ass teak window/doors at the front of our house and felt completely stoked on the house we have built (still building) and the fact that it is in Rincon Puerto Rico. Summer and I have been having so much fun exploring the island(mostly looking for construction supplies), learning the language (we would like to be fluent), eating the fruit, avocados, mangos, drinking the coffee and eating the quesittos, building our house, surfing, snorkeling and running our businesses. This place is rad.
I think this is the feeling people (sales guys) refer to when they describe the “Pride of Ownership.”

I have to agree on every point
You’re making me even more home sick!!
San Diego is so stale compared to Puerto Rico…
I love our house. Every day I wake up and think, “No way! How did this happen. WooHOO!”
Wow Summer, Stefan does house cleaning? Well, he is a keeper! My hubby used to do house work before we got married, now that we are married, it is a chore just to get him to help me, but he is a keeper too
I just want to let you know that I love reading your blog. My curiosity about Gringos living in PR brought me to your site. Seing your progress in your house and garden is very enjoyable. The place is really looking great. You and Summer have very good taste. Both of you seem to be very cool, smart people. Keep up the good work. I’ll keep on reading.
Livin the dream!!! I am so jealous!
