Well we made it to California in one piece so to speak. The 15 hours in the car wasn't ideal, but Kassidy was much better than expected and the moving van wasn't too bad either. My sweet uncle and aunt were here to help us move our stuff in took us out to dinner afterward. Our apartment is nice and seems to be in a quiet area. We have done a little exploring in Fairfield and are quickly discovering the good and bad areas to shop. It's definitely NOT Utah though (I have a post coming that will explain what I mean) and we are missing our bubble and family.
Kassidy keeps asking to go home, which is making us feel bad for ripping her away from everything she knows and loves. I'm sure she'll adjust soon enough. In the meantime, I'm trying to distract her and help her like it here.
Kevin started school this week with orientation. He's liking it so far and is already buddies with the Dean. I think it helps that he's 1 of the 4 white males attending, 1 of the 5 out-of-state students, and 1 of the 6 married students. So he sticks out pretty well, plus he's pleasant and draws people to him.
We're adjusting and are excited for this new adventure.
Here are some pictures of our little over-priced apartment if you care to peek:
Kassidy definitely got the big room, but the other room had a balcony attached to it which we didn't really want her to have.

I'm glad you made it okay, that long of a drive is so hard with little ones, I'm glad Kassidy did well! Your apartment looks so cute! Good job decorating it!
You made it! Woo Hoo!! I am seriously thinking about going to see my Dad in October so if I do we will have to get together. I'll keep you posted!
I'm so glad you made it safe. I bet that was so nice to have some family when you got there. Andy is so jealous you are in cali. He would live there forever if i would let him. Hope you settle in fast and have good neighbors. Best of luck.
Glad to hear that you made it and are getting settled in! Your apartment looks so cute. You got it decorated and put together so fast! Yeah little and over-priced housing sucks. We were spoiled in Cedar! Poor little Kassidy...it's so sad taking them so far away from everything they know and love, but she will get adjusted fast. Good luck with everything!
WE MADE IT!!!!! Isn't it great to know that we are living the dream now. Kevin and Tim are actually Pharmacy students. All our hard work and dedication paid off. What a fun adventure we have ahead of us now. Your house is DARLING! You are like super woman! I still don't have my house all put together they way I want and we have been here longer than you. Looks great. Good luck with school starting!

We miss seeing you guys! We especially miss cute Kassidy coming in to see us wearing her Cinderella dress up! You don't know how long those old guys talked about it! It was sweet! Oh, and tell Kevin I have a bone to pick with him! Ask him if he knows who sabotaged my WIMS board! I know it was him that moved my stickers and made them crooked! Cute apartment and I'm excited you guys are on such a fun adventure!!
