Come to California

Yesterday as I was basking in the beautiful sunshine I realized this (75 degrees in the middle of January) is what makes this state so utterly awesome. It's hard to imagine that the rest of the country is currently experiencing arctic like conditions when we couldn't be having a more beautiful, pleasant and sunny January. Sorry to rub it in your faces those of you who may be stuck in your homes because it is -10 degrees. Yesterday my friend in Wisconsin told me it was -40 degrees with wind chill...Yikes is that even possible?
Don't worry we have our fair share of problems in California. The state is about to go bankrupt, no more money for current road construction, unemployment rate is higher then the national average, the housing market is in a free fall, drought and water shortage (it's usually rainy in January, not sunny) and who knows if there is any money left to educate our children??? But take that aside and just know that with all that awfulness is beautiful sunshine weather to enjoy.

Not to be forgotten that we have a Governor who happens to be a movie star. He will just sprinkle some of his movie star magic and terminator powers to make all this bleakness in our state disappear. The empty homes will be filled, housing will go back up, jobs will come out of nowhere, the rain will start to fall and suddenly we will have money to educate our children and fix all the half done roads. Until then I will just enjoy this awesome weather and feel so blessed and grateful to live in this beautiful state.

haha...i just blogged about the weather too...it's beautiful here. We've spent the past few years in ohio and colorado...last year this time we were stuck in our house from January thru April. We are LOVING that we can go to a playground almost any time we want out here. It's awesome.

You are lucky. We have a TON of smog out here. We had to stay inside school for a week!!! Lexi, Josh, and Lindsey are all sick. I can't wait to come to Cali. (I am counting down, 7 more days!)
