Well, we moved out of our temporary rental before Christmas and will move into our new digs on Jan. 4th. We've stayed with our friends the Shurtz family and spent Christmas at the Westlake Village Inn. I've always wanted to stay there, the rooms are gorgeous and the lush grounds are a photographer's dream. We got upgraded to the Luxury Suite, hence the "Suite Life". "Aunt" Lylene is watching our kitties, we hope she'll give them back to us :). We've enjoyed going to the Parade of Lights at Ventura Harbor, going Christmas Caroling with friends from church at an assisted living home, spending time with friends, Kyle and Makena went Ice skating, going to the movies ( I loved B Movie), going to the beach and going on hikes.

Hello California!

"Moving sand" at Sycamore Cove

We made it to California, thanks to some angels who helped us in Texas (Laura, Renee, Rick, Reagan and Jennie, you were awesome!)! We've been busy getting settled. We've had In-N-Out 4 times, we've been to the beach 3 times and rode/hiked Sycamore Canyon twice. It's been great to reconnect with old friends, and we had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Cameranesi Family. Our surfboard is on order.
