Happy 6 months to me! Can you believe we have been up North for 6 months? We are truly blessed that this little town has welcomed us so warmly. Do I dare say that we are calling it home?!!

I’ve been here 6 years and haven’t made nearly the progress that you have in embracing our little town. I’m so glad you got out of your comfort zone and we got to meet finally!
That sounds like so much fun! I’ve never gotten together with other So. Cal bloggers, but it’s a great idea.
