The Cali Life

Okay, I'm back on my blog...

I am now somewhat settled in to life in Cali. Here are the things I like so far:

1. The weather is really nice and there is no humidity. We've been in the 70's during the day and maybe the 50's at night. No heater or a/c necessary for now. I've been told that the summers get a lot warmer here.
2. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. I see hills right outside my window. We live in the mountains so there are hills and valleys everywhere. I love driving down the street.
3. My husband's job is less than 10 minutes away and it's less stressful than his last position which means we see him more and he's in a better mood when he gets home.
4. My husband has a few cousins here that we'll get to know better, including a 2 day old baby boy.

What I don't like:

1. The cost of living. Gas is about $3.35/gallon. Food is more expensive, housing is more expensive, parking is more expensive. The only thing they don't have around here are toll roads; but if they did, I'm sure it would be more expensive too.
2. The white women here are so extremely rude. I almost had to knock one of them down in Target yesterday.
3. I'm way too far away from family and friends.

It seems that our stay here will be nice. There are plenty of things to do. San Francisco is about 40 minutes away. LA is only a 5 hour drive south. I'm enjoying being a stay-at-home mom to my two babies. That's another story in itself.

I'm committing myself to blogging a minimum of once a week but my goal is to blog much more than that.

Until the next time...
