First Impressions

We are here in Sacramento! It has been less than a week and yet we have experienced so much.

New Year's Eve in Old Sacramento: Super fun, old area of town that was a pretty popular place to be for the New Year. There was live music, a robot band, scantily clad women (who were freezing), karaoke bands, drunk people, old people, young people, and of course, fireworks! We stuck it out walking around down there until about 11:30pm when we decided to walk back to the parking garage, drive up to the roof and watch the midnight fireworks up there. It was a fun night but I must say, it was a little lame being the last one to celebrate the New Year after Katy (Mitchell's sister) celebrated on the East Coast at 9pm our time and the rest of our friends and family in Texas celebrated at 10pm our time. By the time our midnight rolled around we were ready!

Church: We tried a church out here that is pretty big and has a well known musician who plays there. It seemed like it was going to be a place we could get plugged in at and serve however we weren't impressed with the message that was given. We may try it again but will probably scratch that one off the list. What saved that experience was we went to In-N-Out Burger for lunch!

Neighborhood: BEST. PART. SO. FAR. I LOVE our neighborhood! Mitchell did a fabulous job finding us the perfect place to live in Sacramento. The houses are older but super cute, kind of like the Heights area in Houston but we live really close to this area called the Fab Forties that are really nice, big, old houses. The people there pay extra to always have security in the area and since we are only a few blocks away, we reap the benefits. Plus, there is a park a 2 minute walk from our house that will be so fun to spend time in when it gets a bit warmer. Another note, Sacramento-ans go all out to decorate their homes for the holidays so I can't wait for the next one... Valentine's Day? I love to go on walks around our neighborhood. I feel super safe here.
