And finally life in California, so far...

Okay, so here is our new home. If you are one of those people who find it totally annoying, then just don't look because I personally love to see everyone else's homes, so bear with me.Walkway into the kitchen. I really just wanted you to see how pretty the tile is. I love the edge around the tile in this house, it's beautiful!

Master bath, more beautiful tile work. And check out my tub... finally a nice tub.

I also love that this home has so many of these, I don't know what the proper name is but it's so nice to be able to put my decorations here without having to put nails in the wall since I'm just renting.

The huge "play room". I'm so glad that my kids have more room to play and use their imaginations. It's weird, the kitchen they got for Christmas used to look so big in our tiny house and now I barely notice it.

This is the front room, we don't have any furniture for it. So it will be empty once I get everything put away.

Here is a closer view of the cool little shelf thing in the front room.

And our family room that is connected to the kitchen. i love this room. I love that the kitchen is so open and that I feel part of the family and can still see what's going on when I'm cooking and cleaning. (it's still not totally decorated)

And the kitchen... what can I say except... I LOVE IT. We have had ALOT of cleaning to do in this house. It had been vacant for a while and it was one huge spider web... really! We have killed at least 6 HUGE black widows, a tarantula, and so many flys. We live next to tons of dairy farms and the flys are out of control, so that's been gross! Not to mention that they didn't clean out any of the drawers or cupboards. The master bath had layers of makeup in the drawers. That didn't make me happy, but it's all clean now. So we are doing good, everyone has adjusted really well. I won't lie, it was really hard to let my family leave last Sunday. I cried the night before, in the middle of the night, and of course the next day. Now, we just look forward to their visit next weekend. At least it's close enough that they came come often to see us. Mikes mom has been here with us to help with getting everything cleaned and put away. We did go to Disneyland on Tuesday, but I forgot my camera- HOW LAME IS THAT? We had alot of fun and are going next Tuesday too, so I will bring my camera. **I will take some pictures of the outside of the house and the park that is just next door and I will post then soon.
