We made it to Cali!

After a great wedding for Katie and Josh we got on the road and headed to our first stop, Texas. We spent the night with John's family and had a great breakfast courtesy of Liz. Notice that I mentioned nothing about the drive because there was nothing to really see between KY and TX.
Sunday night around 11 we pulled in to my sister's house in Phoenix. Everyone was already in bed so after a quick hello we inflated our air mattress and headed to bed. The next 2 days involved lots of playing with Braxton. We had a great time at the zoo on Tuesday, most of the time John was responsible for carrying Braxton. They even fed a giraffe together. Wednesday I was sad to say goodbye to my Mom and Nanny but I know May will be here before I know it and I will see them again. Braxton of course refused to give a hug or kiss mainly because he knew we wanted them.
Wednesday's drive to California was much more exciting and the mountains were beautiful. We got our first taste of LA traffic, not anywhere close to LA, and I don't think I will venture out of Orange County for awhile. We drove straight to the beach and took our picture and checked out our new surroundings.
We are now all moved in to our apartment in Aliso Viejo, just outside of Laguna Beach. There are a ton of restaurants and shops within walking distance to the apartment but so far we have driven over to eat at them every night. The first night was greek and tonight was Fatburger. I currently have a stomachache, probably made worse by the yogurt we ate afterwards.
I also had a job interview today and they want to do a second interview next week, keep your fingers crossed or say a prayer, your preference.
Tonight was the first time I have really felt any nervousness about moving all the way to California. It is a big change and the reality of making new friends, not seeing old friends whenever I want, starting a new job, and other minor details kind of set in. John assured me we would be fine and tried to calm me before I developed any full on panic attack. Luckily the sickness in my stomach from all the food I ate is a good distraction from the nerves.
I will upload some pictures of these described adventures once I find my camera cord. I will also probably write a lot of blogs once John leaves on Sun. and I have more alone time. Sorry this is so long and probably not blog etiquette.
