Spring Break '09---California

This year for spring break we went to stay with Josh's cousin Janet and her husband Cary in Glendora. I drove all the way from Cedar to Glendora for the first time ever. I am pretty sure I'm a natural when it comes to big city driving. I did pretty good, no accidents on the road or in our pants so I think that was a successful trip. Janet and Cary were so nice to let us stay with them and they spoiled us rotten! They took us out to some amazing sushi bars and Cary is an excellent cook and made smoked Tri-tip, smoked yellow tail, and BBQ chicken. They had the coolest backyard and we spend a lot of our time outside enjoying the warm sunny southern california weather. We got there sunday and we just hung out with the fam and relaxed. Monday we went driving around Ontario, Pomona and Rancho Cucamonga looking for for sale signs but Josh always ended up in the nicest most expensive areas or the ghetto. Then we decided to go to Anaheim for lunch at this delicious Mexican restaurant called La Casa Garcias where my family goes everytime we go to Disneyland. We couldn't afford to actually go to Disneyland so I made Josh drive by and I tried to take pictures. I was really bummed we couldn't go inside. Tuesday we looked at houses with some agents we have been in contact with on the internet. Some of the houses were pretty thrashed and needed a lot of work and others were in fairly good condition. We won't be able to get a house until December most likely because we have to wait for Josh's Army money to start coming in consistantly. Wednesday we went driving around again and found some awesome new apartments in Rancho Cucamonga. They were built in 2005 and they had washers and dryers and dish washers in the units so we were pretty stoked. The were comparable prices to most other places even the older not so nice ones. They are right across the street from a new outdoor mall called Victoria Gardens that has shops, restarants and a movie theatre so we would always have something to do. Then we found out that it was only a few minutes to my Dental Hygiene school so that was also a huge plus. Thursday was our last day and we did some more exploring around Glendora and looked at apartments there because we really loved that area. That night we went and watched Janet and Cary coach their swim club at the highschool where Janet works and then went out for Sushi where there friend Hiro works. It was the best sushi we have ever eaten! We really loved it there and are so excited to move. We will be so sad to leave our families and friends and good ol Cedar but it will be an amazing new experience. We are really looking forward to that next chapter of our lives.

Samantha. She was so shy and skiddish for some wierd reason and they said she's been that way since she was born.


This is Sandy. She was kind of crazy but very loving.






This tree grew lemons and Oranges on the same tree. Pretty crazy!.


This was a little bathroom with a shower outside by the pool and spa.


This was part of their awesome patio.


This was the covered part of the patio with the out door kitchen.


Sandy sleeping. She was so funny to watch because she would dream and move around.

Joshy driving past Disneyland, the happiest place on earth.


We could almost smell the fun!
