Well I think we have finally settled in our rather quaint home! I can't believe it has almost been 2 months since we took the plunge and moved to Santa Barbara California! It has been an adjustment with a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, tincy kitchen, no backyard, and a laundary closet out in the garage. It has been so much change for the kids they have been at each others throats since we got here. I hope things cool down in a couple of months and they can get to their comfortable selves. Sometimes I wonder if aliens have taken over my childrens bodies! They are adjusting and getting a little more used to school and making some friends.
We have been learning to surf! Shelby is a fish and can spend hours trying every couple of minutes to catch a wave! Her first time she made it standing on the board she had her feet together and was waving both arms like she was a dairy queen on a float. I wasn't there but Kris came home and told me about it and I wished I could have seen it or we had a picture. I was laughing so hard picturing her! Paydon enjoys giving it a few tries when Shelby actually gives up the board and gives him a turn.
Mylee spends most of the time running back and forth in and out of the waves and playing in the sand.
They have free movies on the pier. They set up a big screen and projector and you bring your chairs and enjoy a movie surrounded by the awesome backdrop of the ocean and sunset. This night we watched Never Ending Story and we also went to Shrek.
You know you live in an awsome place when you see a cruise ship parked in the ocean just a few miles away from your house!
We are getting adjusted and can't wait for friends and family to come see us! We miss everyone back in Utah and would just love it if they would all pack up their stuff and move here with us! We have met amazing people here and feel this is an experience that will stregnthen our family and draw us closer to one another.
