Dear Bella, I love that you pose for the camera when I hold you. You are the best baby ever. Dear Husband, I am ready to get out of LA and move on to our next adventure... Dear EVERYONE, our next job is taking us north to San Jose, California! That's right, NorCal here we come! Dear Napa Valley, Yosemite & San Fran, I will be visiting all of you while we live in San Jose. So excited to be 40 minutes from San Fran so I can have more of that chowder! Dear St. George, Utah, I can't wait to spend a weekend visiting good friends and taking in all your natural beauty. Dear Husband, Congratulations to you-- you found a job one week before this one ended which is a vast improvement from the 24 hours last time! I was still stressed but not as much when the offer came through. Dear Dallas Texas, You are still on our list of places to travel and we will be coming to live in you soon and very soon.
Your letters are next!
and p.s. this week's links are text links because my account is being weird,
next friday I will resume thumbnail links!
Over & Out,
A







SOoooooooooooo Excited!! :D I think I changed my mind on what we should do. I keep forgetting to text you though.
ReplyDeleteNorCal will be awesome! So happy for you guys :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad you posted the link-up early today, as I'm about to go electronics-free for the weekend!
Cheers,
Em
Yay for staying in CA!!!! The move won't be bad at all! :) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh!!! I had a really good feeling that you guys would be headed somewhere close to SF! Yay for San Jose!! So exciting!!! And I love St. George! When I was living in Salt Lake City, we made a few trips down there and wow, the red rock is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI guess now is when things will start to get a little crazy while you prepare for the move. Seriously, what an amazing opportunity. SO cool that your husband's job takes you guys all over the country. Even if it is tiring at some points, not many people can say they've lived a life like you have :)
So great!!!! My family lives in San Jose :) That's where I grew up and went to high school! I have some great churches for you and we'll definitely get our meet up now!!!! Woot woot. So happy for you two :) God is good! Thinking of you xo
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Utah :)
ReplyDeleteOh Ashley, you will LOVE that area! My husband works for Google, and that is what brought us out there a couple weeks ago, he works from home here in Mpls. but he got the chance to work at the googleplex in Mountain View for 3 days, so then we just made a vacation out of it with my daughter for a week for her spring break. Anyway I grew up in Fremont and moved to Mpls. when I was 8! We spent half our time a couple weeks ago in the San Jose area and then of course, San Fran, but I will email you a few places we went to when we were in the San Jose area (not that you'll need my help:)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you know where you're going!
Yay! I just lived in Mountain View for a year and now live in SF, so let me know if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteAhhh that's so exciting that you guys figured out where you're moving! We are only 3.5 hrs from the Bay area, so we will definitely be getting together now fo sho! Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteSan Jose!!!! Congratulations! Don't forget to visit Sausalito (right next to San Fran) it's a cute little place worthy of a drive :)
ReplyDeletehow exciting!! I'm sure you will love that drive better than the one from MB : )
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for North Cal! :) Also, BEAUTIFUL picture of you and Bella. She is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!!! Excited for y'all and the new adventure in North Cal! :) You and baby Bella are just toooo cute!

ReplyDeleteXOXO Michelle
Congrats on your move and your hub's new job. And as a HUGE side note... I love your pink nails!

San Jose is my hometown! :) Since I know you guys like to try out local restaurants, you definitely need to visit La Victoria's (also known as La Vic's), Eric's Deli Cafe and Marianne's Ice Cream in Santa Cruz. Those three are my all time favorites!
ReplyDeleteOh and I can forget about Henry's Highlife. It's a little pricey and can be a super long wait on the weekends but is crazy good! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers for staying in Cali! I'm so glad everything worked out for you guys. I prayed!
ReplyDeleteLove that picture...you are SO pretty and Bella is precious as usual.
