Catching up~Move, New jobs, Bday

Scott reminded me that it's been since Valentine's Day when I blogged last, and a ton of stuff has happened, so I figure now is as good a time as any to catch up.  I do apologize for the lack of pictures. our internet at home isn't set up, but I will post some shortly.

#1   We moved to California the end of February.  The drive down was horrible, long and boring.  I don't recommend it.  The only good part was the few minutes where we were passing Mt. Shasta.  It was beautiful.  I took pictures on my phone, but I don't think they were saved when I got a new phone. So sorry about that.   Benji did amazing for a 6 month old puppy.  He just laid in my lap the whole time and took lots of naps.  We stopped at the Harry and David Store in Medford, OR and bought some yummy yummy fudge. The whole drive took three days cause they closed the Grapevine Pass Saturday night.  I think it was drizzling, or there could have been a few clouds, much to dangerous to drive through. So we stopped in Bakersfield for the night and finished up the drive on Sunday.  I hope I never have to do that again.

#2   New apartment!!  We found a new place that we really like.  It's bigger then our last apartment and has a huge patio and a garage.  I'm so grateful because I was starting to get a bit clostrophobic, we definitely needed more room.  We'll have all the pictures hanging soon--Judith, wanna take a trip to Southern California???-- then we'll be all moved in and I'll post some pictures of our place here. 

#3    Disneyland!!!!  After weeks of nagging I finally got to go to Disneyland.  Scott surprised me for my birthday with lunch at Club 33 and then a full day of fun and excitement.  I wore the button they gave me that said Happy Birthday and people said Happy Birthday to me all day long.  It was pretty crazy since some schools were on spring break, but we got to ride our favorites and had a fantasitc time and ate some super yummy food!!!!  All the ingredients necessary for the best Bday ever.  Thanks to my honey for being sneaky and planning the whole thing!!

#4    New jobs!!!  Of course the whole reason we moved down here was so Scott could work with Russ.  I was worried about finding a job fast enough, but I actually had a few offers to choose from.  That was an amazing blessing and definitely an answer to our prayers.  I really like my job and am learning a ton. 

Everything is going well, but I always miss home.  It was fun to have Grandma Anderson come and visit on her way to Arizona.  We went to my new favorite restaurant, Souplantation--all you can eat soup, salad, and pasta bar. mmmmmmMMMMM!!! And after that we saw the Adjustment Bureau. so much fun.  It made me so happy to see her and I hope to have many more visitors in the future!  :D
