Hereeee's California!!!!

Well, we're here! We got pulled up in front of our house at about 6:30 (830 Texas & Wisconsin time..lol) on Thursday, August 14. We came in and were greeted by our property manager, who showed us around the house again, and told us that there was some furniture in the house, that we could help ourselves to if we wanted to, if not they would contact us and come and pick it up from the house. After he left, some guys from the church showed up to help unload...I willingly stood outside the truck and told them as they were coming off the truck where they could put certain boxes or pieces of furniture...amazingly, they finished unloading EVERYTHING in less than 20 minutes, AMAZING! Then, one of the guys that works on staff at Immanuel Baptist took us out to dinner so we could break our "road trip fast food" spell. We came back to the house and looked around at some of the stuff that was left and then collapsed into our bed and didn't wake up for quite a few hours...lol. The next day (Friday) we started un packing and moving furniture to where we wanted things....and then went up to the church to make an appearance since we had only been in for about 24 hours, we were still pretty exhausted though. Every Friday night the church has "movie night" where they show a family friendly movie and you can bring out blankets, chairs, and eat popcorn and cotton candy, or bbq, so it was fun just to say hi to some people, but again....our bed was calling our names...lol...so off to sleep we went again! Today, (saturday) I slept in, but we did find out that the sun rises about 530 (not a pleasant piece of information...), but we did find this like...double chaise lounge thing, that is real close to the ground with a comfy white mattress on it, so when I woke up...it was DEFINITELY pretty sunny out, so we all know what I did...SUN-BATHED! Oh yeah, and one hour was PLENTY ENOUGH!!! Anyway, we finished un packing and returned the u-haul truck, and went and got some food to eat...FINALLY!!! Then when we got home we realized that we really didn't have all that much left to unpack, we just needed to get all the trash, and empty boxes out, and hang stuff on the walls, and we were done...so we got to it and FINISHED! The only thing we really need now, is a table and chairs, but until then its outside on the patio furniture..which is fine since the temperature couldn't be more perfect!! Right now, we just discovered that there is an ice cream truck that runs through here at about 6:15pm, so that right there is the BEST THING YET!! lol. Jonathan and I really don't have any major plans for right now, its mainly just chillin. He has to prepare for his kids in the morning so he'll be doing that for the remainder of the evening I'm sure, and we'll both start bright and early in the morning for the staff prayer meeting at 7:15am (yikes), and so you might not hear from me tomorrow unless its just posting some pictures. We did however, take lots of pictures of the house and yard today, so hopefully I'll be putting those up asap so y'all can see what its looking like over here, and also so we can in the future see how many improvements we make...the main one will be to get the yellow out, and clean up the flower bed areas...until then...hope everyone is doing ok, and I already love and miss EVERYONE!!! (and be in prayer since tomorrow is the first day at Immanuel Baptist Church)
