Another great week

















Our adventures continue at our new home in Cali. This week has been a lot of fun for Jordan and I. Since we have moved here I think we have played tennis at least once everyday. Jordan said to me today that I am actually fun to play with now, which must mean that at one point in time that was not the case! Needless to say I think my tennis skills are improving and we are having a lot of great matches. We also found a disk golf course only a few miles from our house at a pretty park. On Wednesday we went to Newport Beach for the day. It was our second trip to the beach and we are yet to hit any major traffic which is encouraging. The drive took a total of 45 minutes both times we have gone which is awesome. We swam in the ocean and body surfed a little and Jordan dreamed of the day when he will have a surf board! (Which may be a while seeing as the search for a good job here has been a bit of a challenge!) Last week at church a we heard about some mt. biking trails in the hills only a few miles from our house. This morning we biked over to check them out. Its definately not the Wasatch but there were trails going all over the place, and Jordan spotted a few jumps. It was a bit sandy but still really fun, we're thinking it will be pretty sweat when winter comes. Tonight we had our first visitors since our parents came deliving our things. My friend Christine and her future husband, Paul drove down from Santa Barbara tonight to check out our new pad. We had dinner and chatted and we loved it! Thanks Christine and Paul for making the trek down here you made our night! Jordan is still out on the search for a job. That has probably been the most frustrating issue we have had since we moved. We are excited though because he has an interview on Tuesday at the hospital here to be a radiation therapy assistant. Its the one job he has applied to that he wants most so we are praying for that! He did also have an interview at washington mutual last week. We've had to get creative in the job search. On Tuesday I have my PA program orientation and then the next Monday school starts and the jouney begins! We love our little place, we have a great ward, and we have eachother. Life is good! We do miss everyone at home though.

Well since the market is similar here... Trent had a very difficult time finding the right job here! It took 3 months before he got a good offer, and now we realize that it is exactly the job the Lord wanted him to have... we know exactly how you feel and he will get the perfect job that you guys need and want! Maybe we will have to plan a trip down there or you guys up here?! :)
