California

Let me start by saying, sorry it has been so long. I know many of you dont know any of our journey for the last month, so just to catch you up.  We left Katy Tx, on Monday June 13. It took us 14 hrs to make it to El Paso where we stayed with Adams Dad.  The next Morning we went to my Grandmas to visit, and after that we drove to Chicos to meet my sister for lunch.  On our way to Chicos we were sweating and it was so hot because our air stopped working.  We took our car to a mechanic after lunch, and sat there for 3 hrs to hear that it would cost $1100 to fix.  I suddenly remembered we bought the warranty when we bought it, so we called the Ford dealerships, and sure enough we did have it under warranty.  We were planning on leaving in the morning, but... they had to order the part from Phoenix, and so our 1 day El Paso trip, turned into a 3 day El Paso trip.  100 dollars vs 1100, I think it was worth the wait : ) We got our car back around 5pm and headed straight out to Tuscon where we stayed the night with our friend. The next morning we ate a great breakfast and headed to Indy? California I think, well What can i say about that trip, but due to our car being towed, the bumper was practically about to fall off lol.  Saturday rolled around and we headed to our new home.  Oh how I had been waiting, we were supposed to get here thurs and it was already saturday!  We made and it is so beautiful.  Cassia stopped by to visit us.  Our apartment is on the third floor, and there was NO WAY we could move our stuff up, so my wonderful husband found and add on craigslist and got us movers for $180 to move all our furniture up for us, when it was all moved in it was 6:30 pm so basically we opened up boxes just to find towels and clothes for sunday morning!  IT WAS WONDERFUL, I LOVE THE CITY CHURCH!! They were all so friendly, and after church Pastor Jude and Pastor Becky invited us over for lunch.  Oh yes, this Sunday was also Fathers day : ) Faith just fell in Love with Pastor Jude and his boys haha. They mentioned they were going to Disney Land the next day and invited us if we'd like to come, so we did.  It was Adam first time that he remembers, and the girls first time ever.  It was a wonderful time!  It is so big I'm not even sure we got to see a quarter of it but it was sooooo fun! The first week consisted of unpacking, hanging pictures etc... The next week consisted of Adam job searching and me helping with City Kids camp! There was 88 kids for there first camp ever!(Joy was one of them) It was perfect timing because they got to make some new friends. We went to the beach everyday of camp.  We also have a pool at our apartment so I think I have gone swimming and to the beach more this past 3 weeks than I have in the past 6 yrs. We have been changing our registration and plates, insurance, and all that other stuff that goes along with moving.  Looking forward to being completely settled in.  Monday we have to take our California Driving test, AHHH!! Just saying, they have weird roads over, you have to turn on a loop on the right to go left on the freeway? Doesn't make since to me.  Oh ya, and I really miss our Katy Walmart : ( Just wanted to give you all a quick update : ) Love Yall, The Lord is good all the time!
