Some thoughts and some California fun.

Stas and I have been back in Ohio for about 3 weeks now, and we love it! We feel at home here, because Ohio is the first home we had together--right after we were married 2 years ago!

While we have loved being back, we have hit a few snags in our plans to find a nice home. So we are still temp living it in style. But hopefully not for long. With the wrinkles in the housing search, among some other struggles, I have been complaining way to much lately. So I took some time today to reflect on how blessed my life really is. I have a wonderful family, a beautiful husband, and many great friends. I have food, clothes and shelter. Most importantly I know that Jesus Christ lives and loves me. No matter what happens, it is that knowledge of my Savior and the relationships with my loved ones that make me the happiest! Sorry I went deep on you for a second, but I needed to say those things :)

On a lighter note, I thought I would post some pictures of the fun places we visited while we lived in California!


Santa Monica Pier:
Famous Santa Monica Pier. That be Stas
in the Lower left hand corner

Ferris Wheel!
Beautiful Sunset.

It was Valentine's Day.
I was feeling pensive.

why Papa T is pointing at my head.


Hippos are generally one of my favorite animals.

HOLLYWOOD, Yeah Yeah


You probably can't see it, but the Hollywood sign
is in the background. I didn't want to get much
closer because I could have died from smog poisoning.


Represent.

Stas by the Bob Marley star. In actuality
Hollywood is trashy, smelly and full of strange
peeps, not cool celebs. First and last visit eva.

This is just the first post of many about our adventures in Cali. I will keep posting about Cali until things get more exciting here in Ohio!
