you have been so good to us so far…! It has definitely been one long awkward silence, hasn’t it? I am a bad blogger, but I will try to be better now that I have my big life change over with. Most of you have no idea what I’m talking about, do you? Well Mike and I, along with our three itty bitty Bevs, kissed family and friends goodbye, took up all of our earthly possessions and moved from Illinois to Southern California about two months ago. I know, right? It was kind of a big deal. We had toyed with the idea of exploring new horizons for a little while but it was nothing serious until this past Fall. Mike ended up receiving a very exciting job offer, and after a lot of sweat, prayer and deliberation, we made the decision to just go for it! I grew up and have a bunch of family here in Ca, so we were also moving to familiar territory. There was so much that went into our decision, and I can’t even begin to remember every detail of that journey because it happened so quickly, but in all of our long late night talks, we always arrived at the same conclusion–we knew we wanted this adventure. And it still feels so right. I can’t tell you how much we love where we live! Sure, we are still adjusting, and we don’t know too many people around here, but it’s sort of fun to be the new kid on the block.
I think orchids will forever remind me of this time. When we showed up at our new house, my grandmother had already placed these in my kitchen. ( Along with completely stocking our fridge and pantry) We’ve been here for about two months and they are still perfect! I also keep receiving orchids from other friends and family as housewarming gifts, it’s crazy how many of these I have growing in my house right now!
One of our favorite things to do: on weeknights that we eat dinner early enough, we’ll then head on over to the beach, walk along the water with our new hummer of a stroller (a.k.a triple jogger) and watch the sunset. A few simple snippets
