i really need to study html :/

i have been messing around with it today, but just can figure some things out.
anyway.

a few latest updates. we found a home! so happy!! will give more details once it is finalized!! 3 wks from now for sure! yay!!!

i am getting good vibes from 20-12

my friend is married now.
we've been traveling up and down the coast every week. (went to the redwood forest most recently!)
my other friend darkened my hair for me.
nate started helping me run my etsy shop! (now featuring clothing for guys too...more to come)

ok. that's all. more exciting posts to come... promise!

 

ok. a short one this time. don't forget to take a peak at the ol etsy shop! support the cause y'all! (jk)

  

i feel a different kind of happiness when i'm in california.
maybe the sun is different over here… maybe it's seeing family, or all the avocados, i don't know, but i like it.

we're still looking for a home in LA.  i'm actually really enjoying the process (even tho we've already struck out once, with the first place we wanted).
i'm excited about rediscovering LA. go away for a year & 1/2 & things change! (not *that* much, but still, it's different now.)
we are heading to LA, to look at a few places, just before xmas. we're thinking maybe less people will be looking, so maybe we have a better chance?
hope our theory pans out .

during our transition, you're going to be forced to look at pictures of everyday stuff.
today it's of my niece & nephew, my friend & her family, my kitty, my husband "my" office.

ps. just updated our etsy shop with some goodies. the plan is to have 100 things up all the time.

pps. i love this american life! every couple years i get re-obsessed with it. it's great for road trips, too! listen to interesting stories, and ira glass, & the time
just flies by.
ok. bye.

hi guys
it's been so nice to have a change of pace, like this. we're currently spending most our time in sacramento, ca. we have family here, & also family three hours south of here, fresno, where we stop on our way to LA.
we found a really great place in LA, now we're just waiting to hear back... hope we get it!

i've been watching lots of hgtv, & really want to break down a wall sometime....sometime soon. (ps. hubba hubba property brothers)
spending time with family & seeing old friends has been awesome.  most of our siblings have kids now, so we've been loving being around the little guys :) & they're all so cute and sweet!

these are some of the most recent pictures, & i am going to sleep now and getting up in a few short hours!
can't believe xmas is next wknd!!

 

fave burritos in town! they have potatoes in them...mmm potatoes...

night!

 

that's it!

hi.
we no longer live in brooklyn.

 edamame 'cheesey' rice w/ sesame crusted tofu & salad

the longer i didn't update the more pictures i had piling up! a good photographer is one that can edit their work. it's so hard to do. [edit, as in cut down on the amount of pics]

we're now in california, looking for places to live, in LA. i feel like the hardest part is over (packing, getting rid of shistuff, cleaning & cleaning) now for the fun part!
we'll be in LA friday & saturday... any friends want to volunteer and let us crash at their place? lol. (but seirously)

k. bye guys.

 [picture by my mother in law, pretty groovy huh?]

we're flying to california in december.
oh yeah, the tickets are one way flights.
let me rephrase that, we are moving back to california, just before the winter really gets here :) x1000

we've been here in brooklyn for just a little over a year, & really had a great time getting to know this place. it's become clear to both of us that it's not for us...not now, anyway.
the day we made the decision to move back, was followed by a couple weeks of the best weather, ever. i thought, no, shoot, we made the wrong decision.

but no. i'm going to just love coming to visit nyc.
i grew up in spokane, washington, where i had four seasons. but you wont believe how quickly you get unused to bad weather, living in los angeles.
i miss the (west coast) ocean, the fresh salads, 70 degrees most of the year & just the relaxed california lifestyle.


california here we come!!

i'll leave you with some photos.... bye!
