catching up!

So I've been in California for about a week now. I flew in on Saturday the 26th. My in-laws were here with us settling us in, and they were a HUGE help. We are so lucky and thankful to have such wonderful families. The town is small. It's about 7 miles total. I'm still trying to figure it out. In Ogden, the streets are numbers...24th, 36th, 12th etc...and here it's all names...long names. Luckily Jill, aka GPS, has been a great help. We have a exclusive relationship and she understands me, even when I swear at her. We've got our apartment almost all the way set up and I'm not going to put pics of it up until it's all the way done. Here are some pics of the outside of the apartments. The whole complex sits on 37 acres, so there is LOT'S of places to walk around. Sorry, the slide show website was being sooooo slow, so you'll have to just look at the many, many pictures :)

We found a pumpkin patch with Gma, and Pa Chambers before they left.


Mt Diablo, the closest I'll get to a mountain.


Ponds outside the complex.


More ponds.


This is our street. I love it how it's covered with trees. I'll just imagine in winter time all the snow that would tunnel the trees.


Big cheese and more ponds....and those of you who know Trey, know that this is right up his alley. Our days are spent walking around looking for the biggest most awesomist pond!


You can't really see it, but Jeremy's school is just behind the waterfall through the trees.


The ducks or geese?? that walk around the apartments...and yes, I have almost broke my neck slipping in bird crap because it's everywhere in the grass!!


And before we left we had a farewell party up at my parents. It was good. Im going to miss everyone. Especially these ladies...I love them!! We had alot of good play-dates and dinners, and fun times with eachother. Even our hubby's did great when they were thrown into a forced friendship with one another. These girls are my very best friends and I will miss them so very much.


All of us one more time :(


And of coarse these cute people. I will miss her too! This is my gym partner. We had some fun times with our families. Addy and Trey loved playing in the day care together. And little peyton. He is so fun. He loved Trey. I loved hearing him say his name...so cute! Thanks Ash for being such a great friend. Can't wait to see you guys in Dec.


We also celebrated Avery's birthday. It's really not until Oct 17th, but we wanted our family to be there.


She really didn't love the cake, probably because it wasn't a new thing. She eats it all the time. (hee hee)


So far it's been okay. Not great, but okay. It's been wonderful having Jeremy around all the time. It feels like a vacation. The reality hasn't really set in yet. I'm betting it will, come monday when he starts school. We'll see.
