Becoming local

 So here are a few pics of the area in which we are staying.  We are near Santa Clarita off Newhall...for those of you that know the Cali area.  I still can't get over how you see mountains everywhere you go.  Here is our McDonalds...behind the pine trees.  :)

This is the view of the street we drive down to access most things...

Near The Master's College there is a production studio.  It's called Melody Ranch and it has seen people such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Costner, and Dennis Quad.  Kind of cool.  This is all we saw as it is private access, obviously.

Then we went to John MacArthur's church to check things out for Brent's classes and where to take the kids on Sunday morning.  We met the security guard, Tom, who showed us all around.

We got to see the sanctuary and the kid's classrooms.  This will help things to run a little more smoothly for us come Sunday.

Yay!  We finally found a Walmart.  We got to stock up on groceries and get some other things that we needed after our long trek across the desert.

I still can't get over those mountains!

Andy Kirk was so nice in letting Brent drive his truck for the summer so I don't have to take Brent to class everyday.  Thank you, Andy!!  Brent is already having a great time driving around a pick up with a stick.  :)
I will take pics of the apartment soon...we are waiting for them to deliver a bed for us.  They gave Brent and me a set of bunk beds.  Lol
