Busy...Busy....Busy....

Well...most of you already know but Josh and I finally have a home here in Monterey! We found a place this past Monday....it is a townhouse....not exactly what we wanted but we are really enjoying it. It is two stories and has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.....there is a balcony off both rooms and off the living room all with ocean views....we are 5 blocks from the ocean, Cannery Row, the Monterey Aquarium, IMAX, and lots of shopping and restraunts! We haven't yet got a chance to explore....we have been so busy trying to get our place together. We got the keys on Monday evening and our stuff came the very next morning.....the movers were here until like 5 or so on Tuesday. On Wednesday we started to get things unpacked and went to the commissary to get some groceries so that we wouldn't have to eat out the whole week......although our wonderful friends Bonnie and Noel that already live here had us over several times for dinner,breakfast, etc.....we are so thankful for them...they have helped us out in so many ways! Also on Wednesday we drove up to San Lorenzo (1.5hrs) to get Josh's car....and on our way back we stopped in Sunnyvale to visit college friends of mine that I have not seen in like 3 years or so. We hung out at Bubba and Elizabeth's catching up....meeting their new baby girl Keela...who is absolutely adorable....and then we all went and had dinner together at a burger place right up the street from where they live. It was so nice to be able to spend time with them and to catch up....and hopefully we will get to hang out with them a lot more now that we are only about an hour drive from one another! Thursday we spent the entire day unpacking and getting things together.....the same on Friday. I got to skype with my parents and show them around a little and then I got to skype with Rachel, Kyle, Christie, and Eric! It was good to be able to see them...via the computer and talk to them and show them around a little! I miss you guys so much...and skyping made me realize that again....even though Rachel has already replaced our friendship with others 3 times over! I'll forgive you....and when you realize they are NOTHING compared to me...I will accept you back!;) Well...that brings us to today....we spent the morning doing some more unpacking until I was about to go crazy from being in this place all week and doing anything else.....Josh and I decided to take a walk and then go see Sea Monsters 3D at the IMAX. It was really neat and was a lot of fun to get out for a little bit. Now we are back home and continuing to get this place together. We only have about 2 weeks before our first visitors come....Christie and Eric are coming for the July 4th weekend. It should be a lot of fun. Well...better get back to telling Josh where I want things before he does it all wrong;) HaHa! I'll try to get some pictures up and update more frequently!
