Ramblings......

* I have a love hate relationship with renting.  I love that when things break, I don't have to find someone to fix them.  I hate that I have to wait for someone (landlord) to decide when those things should get fixed.  I can't decide how much time or money I want to put into decorating, when we don't know the length of stay (at the very least 2 years).

* I love California weather. But I haven't really been able to enjoy it.... still unpacking boxes... finding places for things... organizing...school....etc.

* I like working out ( Gold's Gym), but I miss LifeTime.  I was SPOILED!

*Think its funny when people in California say..."Yeah...it's more expensive to live out here.  But, you get paid more too!"  They have NO IDEA.

*Likes that where we  live (the city) that everyone seems to have lived here for a LONG time.  Perfect strangers will randomly give me all sorts of info, as soon as they find out we are new.  Like where the good beaches are, shopping, playing etc.  There are SO many people that have lived here for 40+ years.

*Thousand Oaks is beautiful!

* I really like the kids' school.  I was worried .  I loved Southeast and how things were there.  But, the kids here are REALLY friendly!  They have made it an easy transition for the kids.

* I like our Ward.  It is BIG, but again, because of the lack of "movement" here.... everyone knows we are new and has made an effort to stop by our house and introduce themselves.  I still can't name them, though.  There are A LOT of members here. 

*I think it's funny that one of the first questions I've been asked from people that live here is..... "So have you run into anyone famous yet?" My response...." No... I probably won't, unless my kids actually run into them.  Are there  famous people that live this close to me?"  Here's who I know that lives within a 15 min radius .... Joe Montana, Will Smith, Wayne Gretsky.  All their kids go to a private Christian school within 10 min of where I live.  Kardashians live in Calabasas.... not too far down the 101 Hwy.  There are apparently others, but I really don't think I would  know them if I were to see them on the street or in a car.  I am retarded like that....


That's enough of my rambling...... FOR NOW.
