10 Things I Love About Los Angeles

10. Thousands of restaurants to choose from!
9. My house is big, breezy and beautiful!
8. I live 30 minutes from the ocean
7. At any given time you can see a man walking down the street selling balloons and cotton candy, no parade required!
6. My job is on Willshire boulevard! And I love the school, colleagues and kids (so far at least) :-)
5. I live in a neighborhood where the moms call their kids home for dinner - really!
4. I do not have a dress code for work, I can once again wear all my clothes, not just the ones I am forced to!
3. There are at least 4 malls within 20 minutes of my house!
2. There is a really great church close to our house and it is Methodist!

And the # 1 thing I love about Los Angeles is.....

I am on this surreal adventure and around every corner is another great thing to do or see, as soon as the exhaustion of week 1 at school wears off I will share more!

Exciting! It sounds like you guys are getting the best of both worlds where you are! I was actually thinking about you earlier today...how bad the education system is in the state and how, when you told me you were a teacher and were planning on moving to LA, I really thought you were not the sharpest knife in the droor.

Good thing for you you had more faith that this was where God wanted you than me! I know it was stressful, but man, did the big man upstairs deliver for you guys or what.

Our God *IS* an awesome God! :D
