I think I'm going to like living in California

I think I'm really going to like living in Southern California. So far, the weather has been amazing! A little hotter than I'm used to, but it's been beautiful! I love being able to look outside in the morning and see the sun shine and then put on shorts instead of the normal 5 layers of clothes! I love the atmosphere and just the feel all around me. I really can't explain how it feels, but it just fits! One of the things that I like the most is the chance to be whomever I want. Now, I'm not saying I'm going to become someone I'm not, but I get to break outside of my shell and be anything. I can try new and different things; things I wouldn't have done back home. But most of all, I know that I know that I know, God is here, with me. He is surrounding me with His love and He is guiding my steps. I'm trying to get closer and closer to Him so that I can hear His voice and follow His footsteps. I know my life is going to become so much more busy than I have ever thought, but I also know the Giver of my days and I'm totally trusting Him. All that I want is to bring Him glory and honor in all the aspects of my life. That, is my number one goal!

Hello California

This is the start of my new blog as I start a new adventure of my life. I will try to keep it updated at least once a week if not more. I figured this would be a good way to keep people updated with all the exciting things going on in my life.

Today is my first day in sunny southern California! We left Washington on Friday night around 7:30. We drove all night and made it to California around 6:30pm on Saturday. I got to drive around 450-500 miles (not all at once). The first set was until 2am, and that was pretty exciting. We drove all night only having to stop at a rest stop for just a few hours to sleep. It was a great, quick trip. But now, I'm exhausted. I maybe got about 4-5 hours of sleep the entire trip and it was in and out sleep, nothing deep nor restful. I slept okay last night, but not great. Today, we went to church and have just tried to recover from our long trip. I went outside for a little bit and it was hot! Like 100 degree hot! And I love it! :) I heard back home it was raining and cold. ;) Tomorrow, we plan on going by the school and picking up some paperwork and meeting some people. Move in day is Saturday and I cannot wait! Other than that, we don't have too much planned for the week, which may be a good thing, or it could not be. We shall see.
