Selma update

So we're here in Selma and we have a few initial thoughts:
*Love the house; warm, cozy, just the perfect size, amazing oranges in the side yard!
*Neighbors are incredibly friendly
*Foggy!
*Distinct lack of coffeeshops everywhere
*ATT phone lines to the house don't work, so no home phone or internet until Saturday (I'm at Starbucks in Kingsburg). Cara and I have developed a no-internet twitch.
*Sadie was freaked out at first when she realized all her familiar stuff was in an unfamiliar house. Now she's fine, though.
*Christmas decorations everywhere!! I've never seen so many lawn Santas and Snowpeople.
*We can see the snowcapped Sierras! Love it.
*Miss our SLO friends and family!

There is so much to write, but overall we are excited about our new location! We'll try to have pictures by the weekend!

So glad to see a post from you guys! Sounds like mostly plus things though it is more challenging to find the nice cafes or date spots, I'm sure. Glad you found Starbucks for survival. Your Dad feels that way where we are, after starting our marriage in a form of Paradise in Santa Barbara and all the fun for those seven years. We understand you will miss things/special folks and family there, and will pray for you with the fog! We would love the views of mountains with snow too, and are looking forward to your neighborhood with all the Christmas decorations:) We can't seem to get ours organized, but will try this weekend.....love you much as ever!
