Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!! 

I hope you're (or were) out there getting to know your neighbors and loving on people. 

This night can be a scary and creepy night so get out there and be a light of love! 

Oh... and enjoy these super cute photos too.

Unpacking

I know it's been quiet here. I've been preoccupied with moving and unpacking and lots of visiting. I'm hoping to make this blog more active! I have some photos to show you of the move and then some other fun posts coming up but for now... enjoy this. :)

Desert Gardens

Since Mike and I are moving back to the High Desert (1 week and 2 days... nuts!) 

I thought I would look at what kinds of plants can die grow there. 

Wish me luck friends... it is a desert.  The other thing to consider, 

we may or may not be in that specific area for long. 

Solution to these conundrums? Cacti and 

succulents are always a good bet so that leads me to... Dish gardens! 

These are some of the small sized gardens I'm digging right now, pun intended.

High Five for Friday

Hive Five for Friday!!!!

Man, it's been a while since I've done this series, but it's time I get back to it.

ONE. Big Life Decisions

Mike and I made the final decision to move back to California. I'm very excited, very calm, and a little nervous. Our families are out there and we have missed them so. I can't wait to spend precious time with them!

TWO. Support

I have been so blessed by the out pouring of support from friends, family and acquaintances. You all rock! After I was fired and you all found out, BOOM!, texts, messages, comments, phone calls and personal visits. And then, after Mike and I decided to move back to Cali, BOOM!, all of you making sure we are being reasonable and then stepping up to offer help with the whole moving process. You ROCK and we LOVE you!

THREE. Possible Job Opportunities

Mike is already moving forward in the application process with a company in Cali. I am supposed to have an interview via Skype at some point.

FOUR. Leisure Time

With not working this last week comes slow mornings to spend with coffee and Jesus. Perfection.

FIVE. Cooking

I haven't really gotten to cook on a semi regular basis in quite some time. I have really enjoyed being able to cook and find recipes on Pinterest. Yummy!

I'm linking up with Lauren @ From My Grey Desk. You should link up too!

California

Friends... a LOT has gone down in the last 5 days.

1) I was "let go" from work. I was super upset (and I'm still a little confused..). 

I loved working there and had no idea it was coming.

2) I have an awesome husband, family and crew of friends. They are all so encouraging.

 I can't tell you how blessed and humbled I feel with the amount of 

emails, texts, comments and phone calls I received. 

You all ROCK.

3) Mike and I realized neither of us have committed jobs here. We don't have a house. Our rent is set up in such a way that we can break our lease with minimal financial penalty (we did that should have to move this year). We have been thinking, discussing and praying about the distance between us and our families for a while. There are more Paramedic jobs open in California than there are here (I know, I was shocked too). 

4) Pray pray pray pray, think, talk, repeat.

5) Decision to move is in place. 

Mike and I will be moving back to Cali on the 19th or 20th.

We are feeling the push and we're taking the step!

I know this is all written in a whirlwind. But man, this life itself is a whirlwind. Enjoy it!
