Our New Place

Things are starting to settle down for us. We have moved into our new place. We are still working on boxes, but at least Maddie's room, the kitchen and living room (except for the boxes of books) are somewhat put together. Our place is small and definitely has its quirks, but at least it is a place we can call home. One upgrade from our house is the carpet. I never liked the carpet in our house and was planning on changing it, that is until our move happened. The carpet in our apartment is very soft. I am not worried about Maddie getting rug burns on her knees from crawling around on it.

We like our new location. We are close to lots of shopping. Not just the mall either, we have 3 grocery stores near by as well as about 5 Starbucks locations. Yes, you read that right. We are back in the land of Starbucks on every corner. :) It is funny, the whole time we lived in OK, I could count the amount of times I went to Starbucks on my two hands and now that we have been back in CA, I have been about once a week (or more).

We are also close to family and friends. I loved being here for the big celebration we had this past week for my grandpa turning 75. I missed being able to attend family get-together's.

All in all, things are going well. I do miss the luxury of living in my house, but there are so many good things that can make up for that. :) I will post pics of our new place once it is more put together, probably after Thanksgiving. :)
