A little California LOVIN before we leave...

As our journey here in Cali comes to an end, we have a few places that we felt we needed to say farewell to before we leave. When I think of my first trip to California I think of Santa Monica. I absolutely fell in love with it. It was the first time I put my feel in the Pacific too. Joe and I spent the day walking around and sitting on the bench taking in the view. We sure have had some wonderful experiences here...

If that pink and purple house wasn't millions of dollars I would totally snatch it up!! <3  That was for you Aunt Gloria :)

Savannah here we come!!!

Almost Ready!!

So, this past weekend we had quite a whirlwind couple days in Savannah house hunting! We were hopeful that we would find the perfect home...and we found 2! We realize this is a good problem to have, however difficult to decide which we like better, which is the best deal etc... In the end, we decided to put offers on both houses thinking it would help us decide, BOTH were accepted! YES, I said both. After days of brainstorming and pros and cons we have decided on which home we like better...I will be sure to post a picture or two when things are finalized! Don't want to jump the gun, never know what could happen! We are so excited!

While we were there we took some time to visit some of the surrounding areas. Savannah has several beach islands that are really beautiful. One of the local favorites is called "Tybee Island" it isn't as touristy as Hilton Head, yet has a lot of charm for sure. It reminds me so much of Myrtle Beach...which I LOVE! Tybee was celebrating Mardi Gras while we were there. People were totally decked out in crazy hats, clothes, beads of course...even their golf carts were dangling with streamers and other colorful goodies. It was so hilarious! A live band was right off the beach where people were enjoying cocktails and dancing...you are able to drink publicly and on the beach...this makes for lots of stumbling!!



Mid-West meets West Coast meets East Coast...!!!

Hello All!

For those of you who don't know yet...Joe and I have some BIG news! We are moving to Savannah, Georgia at the end of the month! Joe has accepted an amazing job and is looking forward to this advancement in his career.

Joe's new employer is "Gulfstream" http://www.gulfstream.com/ For those of you who don't know about the company, they build the most technologically advanced business jets in the world. These things are amazing, I personally had no idea how advanced these jets could be! Joe is very excited to get started and I am very excited for him!

So, obviously we will be saying a very heartfelt goodbye to life here in Cali. We have LOVED living here and are so happy we had the opportunity to spend 4 amazing years exploring it together. We have made the most amazing lifelong friends here that will be missed greatly...BUT we have a lot of reasons to visit! The hardest part about leaving CA will be leaving Joe's parents behind. Neither one of us want to think about it at this point, but with their full support it makes the move much easier.

Joe and I had never been to Savannah, GA, so our first visit was a few weeks ago. I personally have always dreamed of living in the Carolina's...and South Carolina is only a few miles away! Hilton Head Island is probably the most visited/known area there, it is only 20 minutes or so from Savannah. The winter temps range in the 50's however the summers are going to be HOT! We are super excited about being able to live by the beautiful beaches still...and no snow is a little bonus too :) Probably our biggest perk will be buying a house that we will be ECSTATIC about! We will have extra guest bedrooms and most importantly a BACKYARD!! Obviously housing in CA is beyond difficult, we had been looking for the past 2 years and just haven't been able to pull the trigger, so luckily we didn't!! We are flying out this weekend in hopes to find our new home...VERY EXCITING!

I will keep you posted on the move as much as I can...hope to see you all in Savannah one day! :)

XOXOXO
Jen and Joe
