So.... I started a blog a couple years ago but didn't keep up with it obviously. I have been living in California for the past 2 months and am coming home tomorrow and thought what better time to start again then now?!
On January 27th I took my first plane ride (after missing a flight the day before) with Shanna to San Francisco and from there to San Luis Obispo where she was a nanny and my sister Hayley and Kyle also live! I was so excited to be able to spend time with them!
Deciding to come was a decision I had a hard time with but in the end I knew it was what I was supposed to do and I had no idea how amazing it was going to be! I started babysitting for two families. One was 14 month old twin boys, Levi and Caleb along with their sisters Abbie and Charlie. I LOVED playing with the boys they were so cute and its so fun to see their personalities and differences. Twins are hard! I look up to their mom and my mom and all other moms who have had twins! It was so fun though!

I also watched two more boys Ari (9) and Zev (7). After watching Reece for so long I went from Justin Bieber, dancing, hair and house to Star Wars, fighting, and legos. I loved every minute of it! Though I always miss my sweet Reece and Paisley!

With the rest of my time I spent most of my time with my sisters. We went to Camarillo a couple times to Hayley's in-laws house. We hiked some "mountains" aka hills, went to the beach, had play dates while we all babysat and were out in the SUN as much as possible!

I learned so much about myself and grew in a lot of ways while living here. From meeting a boy to figuring out my life again. I got into the Social Work Program at BYUI and am so excited for my life! Saying goodbye to my sisters will be so hard.. But Im so glad I know I have them for eternity! While I loved every minute of California I have to admit I missed my mom and dad like crazy.. I cant wait to see them! What I can wait for is the snow and cold of Idaho....
Goodbye beautiful sunny San Luis Obispo... Hello to the rest of my life.
