7948 Pocket Rd #27 Sacramento, Ca 95831

This is our new address.
Our transition went pretty smoothly, everything just came together all at once and was quick and painless. Sora, so far, has adjusted well. She's been keeping busy meeting lots of people, playing in our closets, opening new drawers, hanging out with Nana.

I shot a wedding in SF which was OK. The bridal party decided to go to BevMo shoot photos there.....and then take Muni to City call....then Muni again...I really hope to do more wedding photos in the future, im just SO LIMITED on what I can do now being 6 1/2 months PREG. I'm ready for this baby to pop out so I can stop being pregnant!! my feet are starting to swell :(

James and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary...we just went to the movies because there was a dinner at his aunts for his grandmothers birthday.

Anthony cam from NY to visit too

(all this in a week. crazy huh?)

There are two pinkberrys here. 2 nearby supermarkets called "Nugget" & "Bel Air," I told the bagger at Nugget I just moved here and after I finished paying he walked my cart to my car, loaded it up AND opened my driver door for me!! Everyone here has been really really nice

Our new place is big, I think because we dont have any furniture yet..... but its coming! We ordered a couch...its being made...we should get it in August sometime...and its the one -we- wanted. We didn't buy the rug I wanted but we got 2 of these lamps from Crate & Barrel...I feel like we STOLE them at $19.99 (reg. $59.99)



new plates and new silverware too! and cups!

Currently....

We are only a few hours away from finding out if we move to Sacramento. James has been laid off since the first of July, and even though secretly inside I was happy because we would be spending family time together, we haven't done anything relaxing vacation style since his lay off date! LOL

We spent the 4th at a friends last min BBQ, we've been swimming a handful of times, went to Sac for him to take a medical/psychological test....and unexpectedly ended up staying longer then we thought we'd needed to. Lots of sleeping in other peoples' bed, or couch.....and not bringing enough clothes for a 5 day stay, or diapers, wipes....or under ware.

We looked at house rentals, and apartments. We found a nice 2 bedroom house with a mini backyard (no grass and super steep inside steps) and WALKING James's mom. Rent was $1200, for an ENTIRE house! crazy huh. We found 2 more spacious apartments. 2 bedrooms 2 baths ranging from $899 to $1150. One was more newer then the other...we decided on the $899 place. The kitchen is a little dated, but we dont know how much James's checks will be after taxes etc. Paying lower rent will allow us to save on a down payment on a home, furnish our place with nice extras to make us comfy....basically we don't want to struggle!

Sacramento area seems to not be as overpriced as the Bay Area



This is the rug I want from Anthropologie, and this is the couch we want from Pottery Barn, print from 20x200



...... we both agree and are OK with the idea that babies = mess....and stuff will be broken. meh, what can you do? just dont buy the $300 lamp :)
