So, I've been here for a week. I have yet to move into the house. In fact, it has a huge tent over it while it gets fumigated. For the time being, the girls and I have enjoyed 7 days of lounging poolside and shopping for their new rooms. It has been a bit of a vacation minus getting them registered for school. We get to move in next Thursday and I'm pretty excited because it is a house with much potential. I will be posting numerous posts of the current projects we will be doing. For now, these are things I've noticed about the area I'll be living in...
1. I have to be a really aggressive driver. Like, pedal to the metal when entering the freeway (thank goodness for my V8)
2. People rarely make eye contact with me unless I'm directly talking to them. Except for when I'm running...other runners will smile.
3. I miss technology. I haven't been able to check any one's blogs because the computer at the hotel is the slowest!!!
4. I talked once to the housekeeper in Spanish (Tengo un gato) and now she really thinks I know what the heck I'm talking about. Ummmmm, not so much.
5. Sales tax is butt high.
6. Schools have lunch rooms outside. Who knew?
7. People here love their dogs and so many people have them.
8. Everywhere you go, people are riding their bikes. I bought Cassidee a new bike for her birthday.
9. I love GPS. I've never used it before, now I'm so thankful to have it.
10. I'm really lonely. I miss Kim and the rest of my friends from school, the gym, or my neighbors. I feel real sad at times.

It sounds like you guys are having quite an adventure!!! Sometimes I think something totally new and different would be wonderful, so I am jealous. Hope you get into your house soon and post pics so we can see where you are - k -
Wow, times are really changing for you. I am sure it is an awesome time for you to get even closer to your girl. You are all that eachother has right now.
I am sure you will fit in in now time at all, you already have the tan!
I am excited to see pics of your new how! Lunch rooms outside sound awesome! I guess that means no more winter's huh! I am already dreading winter coming here. I am so sorry you are lonely and feeling sad, things will get better once you have moved into your house!
I can't wait to see your house! We miss you so much, but it sounds like you'll become a Californian in no time!
I'm so glad to hear you are doing better. I miss you too, so so much! I am already thinking about what we are gonna do when you come visit. :)
I'm jelaous you get to lay by the pool everyday.....just don't start looking like that scary lady we saw laying by the pool in Vegas! :S
Love you!
How nice to be by the pool everyday! Hopefully its nice to be able to see Joe everyday too. I'm excited to see your house in progress. It will keep you busy and that makes things easier I think. Less time to think about what you are missing in Utah.
Love you Rach! Can't wait to see your projects:P Talk to you soon~
AW Rachel, I don't like #10 :( It will pass, I promise. Once you get to your new Ward you'll make friends right away. We will come and visit soon, and you guys need to come down for Halloween Horror nights at Universal and Zachary's b-day. You'll feel better once you are settled. :)
oh I am so sorry you are lonely! It must be so hard to be away from your family and friends especially Kim. I think its so awesome that your sister in law is your BFF.
California sounds so different than Utah. I like the idea of outside lunch rooms though. I'd miss people smiling at me. I need to be around friendly people even if its sometimes the fake Mormon friendliness.
