It's taken me much longer to make this post than I'd anticipated.  Life got pretty busy again.  :P

After my last batch of posts, it probably sounded like we made a mistake moving out here.  But even though our move was quite the "adventure," and we continue to face different challenges, the positive experiences and and opportunities have been

Oh, beautiful! And great news about the car, too. :) It sounds like you're really going to enjoy your new place!

Thanks! I gotta say, the news about the reimbursement for the car came at a much needed time. I'm so grateful for that. And I'm looking forward to seeing what else there is to see and do around here. I liked NY (when it wasn't winter), but there really wasn't that much that we could do that didn't require a ton of travel so we ended up bored most of the time. Here, the only times we're bored are when we choose to be because we need a bit of a break from all the fun. :)

Sounds like you're starting to really settle in. The beach pics are amazing! Glad to hear it's a happy move for you overall.

Thanks! I love having the ocean so close. I lived in WA for six years before I got married and we did go to the coast every year, but it was only about a week each year. And then I spent ten years without seeing the ocean at all. I've really missed it and can't begin to say how much I love that I can go anytime I want. The closest one is only 45 minutes away.

Beautiful...I'm so thrilled you have such a lovely new home!

I really misjudged California. For the longest time, I had abosultely no desire to live here. Now I'm so glad I gave it a chance because I really love it here.

Thanks! We're having a lot of fun exploring. I love that there's so much to do and it's all so close to home.
