Loving California!!!!

Title pretty much says it all :) We've been here just a little bit over a month and we fall in love with it more each and every day! The weather is AMAZING...highs in the 70's and 80's almost every day! It's wonderful!!! From all the face book posts from my friends back home I am glad we moved when we did...they are experiencing highs in the upper 90's to 100's EVERY day! I would be dying for sure!!!

The kids are having sooooooo much fun here! Every day they are out riding their bikes, swimming, playing pool, and even going to art lessons with their great grandma! The artwork they are creating is fabulous...especially for a 6 and 7 year old! We've gone to the boardwalk and even taken them to San Francisco!

Speaking of San Francisco, Jerry and I are IN LOVE with that city! We took the kids on a Saturday and then went back again the next day with my sis and futrue brother in law and our new friends Heidi and Brian. We walked and walked and walked....wait..did I mention we WALKED all over the city! There is so much to see there and as much as we walked we didn't even come close to seeing everything. We will def be going back SOON.

The best part of moving to Cali is getting to know all my family. Getting to know my Dad has probably been the most special part for me since growing up there was such a void in my life since he wasn't in it, BUT I've learned a LOT about him and so far so good! My step mom is amazing as well! She is so sweet and the kids just adore her! For the first time they have grandparents that enjoy spending time with them and love spoiling them to death! The kids are in absolute HEAVEN with all the love and attention they are receiving. Annnnnd they get a ton of love and attention from their aunt and uncles! Getting to know my brother and sister has been really really neat! My brother is an extremely talented drummer, guitarist, pianist....um, lets just go with amazing muscian...all self taught too! He's in a band called The Soothing Sound of Flight and we're going to see them perform in a battle of the bands this Friday night...EXCITED!!! My sis is super talented as well...she's got a voice that will knock your socks off! They're both really really neat kids and they are great with my kids! There is soooo much love in this house.  Was so scared to move but I'm so happy we took the chance and ended up here!!!!
