Well last time I posted, Jake was still looking for work and we were still invading my parents place in Canada...lots has happened....as usual...but I see things slowing down and sweet stability in our future :)
Jake got a job with Oakley. He does research and development for the footwear department. He is loving his job and I'm loving the discounted Oakley clothes and sunglasses that have come home with him! We found a great apartment just 2 miles away from Oakley. Jake can ride his bike to work leaving me with a vehicle and not being "stranded" at home all the time. The area is wonderful where we live. Great parks, Faith's school is close by, pool is very close to our apartment...just a great great great great place!!!
We live just minutes from Saddleback Church. Their pastor is Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Life writer) and it is just a wonderful church. The kids programs are AMAZING and I have 3 kids who happily (well, Nate is happy after a few minutes, or when he's put into the 6 seater stroller and handed a cookie) going to their classes!
So I spent so much time praying for God's BEST after the whole Navy thing....and a place we could call HOME!! Two things that were SO VERY IMPORTANT to me! I think those prayers have been answered. We found an area we all love, and are ready to stay settled here in the Lake Forest area for years to come. The only move I see in the next few years would be to just upgrade to a 3 bedroom. We are in a 2 bedroom right now due to it being all we could afford...but it's a good size..and we fit! For now! :)
More to come...as we have some fun plans for the summer and are keeping busy with fun activities, and have just joined up with a Mom's club here in Lake Forest. They have tons of activities planned and I'm looking forward to getting to know some Mommies in my area!
