We still don’t have internet so I’m sitting with Rob in Starbucks, watching it rain and hail outside – sipping on a skinny carmel mach – and catching up on all my favorite blogs. We’ve been here two weeks and absolutely love it. Riley was with us this week for his Spring Break so we tried to show him a good time. More on that to come! For friends and fam, here’s what it looks like from my point-of-view lately…(until the rain came).
If it’s nice out, you’ll find us at the beach.
Happy anniversary honey! We have yet to celebrate our 4-year anniversary, but no worries. When things slow down we plan to very soon! After all these years I am still incredibly in love. Even looking at him today and seeing him smile at me reminds me how kind Rob is, how compassionate. I look forward to every new day with him. He inspires me to be a better wife, a better person. I love you Rob. Thanks for making life and the little moments so enjoyable.
This might be my new favorite flower. They smell INCREDIBLE.
Add a mane and he could totally pass for a skinny lion. Pretty sure Tacoma loves our new home.
Well, we are in Santa Cruz and all settled in! And I must say, it’s absolutely breathtaking. Crystal-clear, cold mornings, fragrant flower beds, the smell of the ocean, sand in your feet, locally churned ice-cream… Shall I go on?
My Dad and sister made the drive up with us to help us unpack and get situated. And we’re so happy they did. This past weekend is one we’ll certainly remember always. We basically spent every minute together and it was wonderful. Once all the boxes were unpacked, we spent the rest of the weekend driving around. Saturday we spent the day around Monterey Bay. My Dad wanted to see Pebble Beach and the redwoods. So, we did!
Before we did the scenic, 17-mile road drive, we stopped first at the Spanish Bay Inn for cocktails and the ocean view on the patio.
Then we continued on the coastal drive.
We finally got to Pebble Beach. My Dad was ecstatic to be on the 18th hole (or near it).
Before they flew back on Sunday, we went for a walk through the redwoods.
I was sad to see them go. They were so kind to have made the trip up and did so much to help us get settled in to our little cottage in the hills. Did I mention that we can see the ocean as we come out of our driveway? Well, we can. Again, it’s a little surreal up here.
Thanks Pam and Dad for all your help!!!
