California - We made it!

We made it safe to California on Monday evening. We left Seattle on Friday at 9:30am and arrived to my Aunt's house in Stockton, CA at 10:45pm. It was a long day of driving. Raymond and I drove separately because we had to had to drive both of our cars down to California.

We hung out in Stockton for the weekend visiting with my family. We had a great weekend with them. We went to San Francisco and did a lot of shopping on Saturday and on Sunday we went to the movies to see Pirates of the Caribbean. On Sunday night my friend Marissa, came to my Aunts house and we got to visit with her as well.

We left Stockton at 10:00am on Monday and arrived in my parents driveway at 4:00pm. I am so glad that I don't have to drive that far again for a while. I already miss Seattle and can't wait to visit there soon!

Going back to Cali, Cali, Cali!

That's right, you read the title correctly. We are moving back to California. It all came so suddenly. Raymond went for an interview on Thursday at 8am and by 10:30am they called him back and offered him the job.

He starts his new job on June 4th so that means that by next Friday we are going to be on the road back to California. I have mixed feelings about leaving. I really love it in Seattle and I love my job, however there are a lot of perks to living in California as well. Our family is there and Raymond will be at a job that he really enjoys.

I am going to miss all of my new friends that I have made in Seattle. We will be back to visit often and who knows maybe we will buy a condo in Seattle one day so that we can come for vacations! I will definitely keep everyone posted on our move and our new adventures in California!
