Latent Bubba

I married a man that was born in Hollywood, California. As far west as you can possibly imagine in the lower 48. Yet I packed him up and moved him to the gracious South. Here I ascertained a quality about my husband that it took rural Mississippi to unearth. He is a latent Bubba. Ladies and gentleman my husband the California Redneck. He likes to fish, hunt, grill, talk about football. He discusses lures, golf, drives a truck, plays church softball. Hangs out in the duck camp. He doesn't play golf well, but plays it quite a bit. Discusses types of rifles. Joined a hunt club. Watches NASCAR. Argues about the different types of BBQ sauce and the merits of each. He wears camouflage to work.

When discussing criteria for our new home. I listed the following as my criteria in Phoenix.

  • No further than 50 miles from SD
  • No further than 20 miles from ASU (where HH is likely to work)
  • On a lake that AT LEAST allows Pontoon boats
  • 4 Bedrooms and a loft/office/den or 5 bedrooms and at least 2.5 baths
  • Preferably in a neighborhood that has a community pool and tennis courts (I can live with out tennis, but would like a pool)
  • If there is no community pool a pool at the house would be nice, but I don't really want to have to take care of my own pool
  • Fireplace
  • Built after 1995
The real estate market in Phoenix is down on it's luck so these criteria should not be too hard to fill.

After looking over the list HH added. I want to live on the lake so I can fish in my underwear like I do here. NICE!!!!! So added to the list.

  • No further than 50 miles from SD
  • No further than 20 miles from ASU (where HH is likely to work)
  • On a lake that AT LEAST allows Pontoon boats
  • 4 Bedrooms and a loft/office/den or 5 bedrooms and at least 2.5 baths
  • Preferably in a neighborhood that has a community pool and tennis courts (I can live with out tennis, but would like a pool)
  • If there is no community pool a pool at the house would be nice, but I don't really want to have to take care of my own pool
  • Fireplace
  • Built after 1995
  • Enough privacy so that HH can fish in his underwear
