Two Things

One: It is beautiful here all of the time and I LOVE being outside in it every day.

Two: Speed limit signs on the highways are just for looks. If you are stuck in traffic the speed limit is 0 and if there is no traffic, you can drive as fast as you want. 80 is the average speed.

One Month

We have officially been here one month now. I have truly enjoyed teasing my family with our warm temperatures and sunshine, really just in hopes that they will break down and come to stay for a while! I think it is great that you can start working on your tan in January here. Every weekend Matt has dedicated Sundays to family time and giving his brain a break from all of that studying. We are excited to try something new every weekend or just visit the beach. Last weekend we went to the beach, this weekend we went to Carbon Canyon to go hiking (not a recommended hike) and next weekend we are going to go to the beach again. We look forward to finding nice hiking trails, visiting the orange county zoo, camping, and visit national parks.

Sweet Baby

We have been posting videos of this sweet baby on qik.com/matthewhicks12. The most recent videos are of her snorting. She keeps me smiling all day long!

A New Week

Today marks the first day of a new week for us. Today Matt starts school and I start really working on getting clients for my medical claims & billing business. Real life starts today.

I feel like we have settled in just fine and it is starting to feel like home. It is good to have all of the boxes unpacked and to have furniture again. My surroundings are starting to feel more familiar and I am really enjoying discovering my new city.

Although I miss my family and friends in Kansas City, I truly look forward to the beginning of a new life here.
