Cali Bound

WOW, I can't believe its been over a month since my last entry!! I apologize once again :(
So lets see.... alot has happened since my last entry: For one, we are now back in California! Our road trip back here from Iowa was alot of fun for us. Even with our car being packed to it's full capacity. Our first day we drove about 7 hours and stopped in Lincoln, Nebraska for the night. It was very relieving to get out the jammed packed car and take a rest that night. We had dinner at a 'mid-west' favorite, Cracker Barrel. And even took time to relax in the hotel jacuzzi before calling it a night. The next morning we slept in a little, then went on our way. We decided our next stop would be in Colorado (which is pretty much the halfway point from Iowa to Cali). My cousin Abby and her husband live out there, so we were able to stay with them and spend alot of time we them. Daniel and I even got to catch a Rockies game while we there. Colorado is absolutely beautiful! I loved it there! Heading out the next day was the most beautiful drive of all. We went through the Rockie mountains and listened to worship music and spent time praying and thanking God for His amazing creation! I'm so guilty of taking it forgranted. It was really eye opening and a very refreshing reminder of His beauty. That night we stayed near the border of Utah and Nevada. Finally, the next day we neared our destination of sweet ol' Moreno Valley, California. We made it home around 4 in the afternoon and felt a sense of relief after that long drive. It was a very memorable experience and drive for the both of us. And fortunately, we were able to make it all the way cross country without a single speeding ticket or car problems (thank you Lord). I must admit, Daniel did most of the driving. Hey, I had done plenty of driving following the bus during the baseball season, this was my time to relax and kick back Ha ha. Anyways, so we've been home for about a month now and have really been enjoying all the time we've been able to spend with family and friends. Job wise: I am currently working for my dad's business and Daniel has been helping coach little league games and has been giving private hitting lessons to some of the young boys. So we've been keeping busy. It's nice to be home :)
