It’s been a crazy past few weeks but we have officially made it to our new home in California!  I have so much to share and am just so energized by our new surroundings so make sure to follow along here and also on my Instagram (@ourlittlelifestyleblog) where I post a lot more.   But in an effort to share our west coast journey with family and friends I plan to blog here much more often than I have been.

I titled this post as Chapter Five.  It’s the fifth town that we have lived in since Matt and I got married in 2007.  It’s both of the kid’s fourth home.   But this was the biggest move yet bringing us far from the Midwest that we have called home for so long.  But we thrive on adventure.  And we are in love right now.  That excitement you feel after a first date kind of love.  Except add in about 200 boxes full of stuff that we really don’t even need.  LOL.

I grew up in Northwest Washington State and until now I had all but forgotten about mountains.   But now I can’t stop staring at them.  I feel so lucky!  We knew this house was “the one” for many reasons but the biggest surprise for us were the sunrises and the sunsets.  We can see the sun come and go over the mountains every single day.  It’s almost surreal! The photos below are from our bedroom balcony.

I feel thankful right now.  For this adventure and for this family that we created who loves it as much as I do.  Thankful for these remaining handful of days together before my tribe heads off to a new job and to new schools.
