california







this morning at the ferry building in san francisco 


          kevin is finished with classes (woohoo!)
and has two free weeks until his actual graduation.
we left the kids in texas and came to san francisco for a few days.
it is beautiful and we're having so much fun. 
actually, we are here to find a house!
kevin accepted a job offer in palo alto a few days ago, 
so we are here to find a place to move to in just a few weeks.
crazzzyy!
i am sad to still be far from my nieces and family, 
but so proud and happy for this opportunity for kevin 
and excited to live in such a beautiful place with my little family. 

we arrived yesterday and found our house within a few hours of landing. 
i can't believe it. 
it was the first & only house we looked at -
just something i stumbled upon online,
and we both LOVED it. 
it is old, small and so charming.
it has a wonderful backyard (ahhh!) and no stairs!!
we walked through, got so excited and DONE.
i can't wait to start decorating and get settled in.

since that is miraculously done, we have the rest of the week to chill.
we spent all day around san francisco, eating and walking and soaking it in.
it's nice to have some free days to get a few more things done:
--find the market
--visit kevin's office
--visit a preschool for ivy
--get kevin a bike
--maybe a piano for me?!

i can honestly say i did not anticipate moving to california
but i feel so blessed and so happy. 
God is good.
