An update...

 Hello all! Here is a little update to our comings and goings.
We found a Martial Arts Museum near the house and got to see some cool ninja stuff.  We even got to see a World Record being broken!  The officials were there and everything.  The guy (can't remember his name) broke the record for the number of full contact kicks in an hour.  Pretty cool.

 We found a sweet little country church tucked away in the mountains.  This is the church that Andy and Shaena Kirk (two of our pastor's kids) attend when they are here for school during the year.  It is called Crown Valley Community Church and we love it.  Solid teaching and loving people.  The pastor there is actually an Aggie!  Small world.  Above are the boys in the parking lot last Sunday.

 Here is the front...

 ...and here is the view from the front doors.  I will never tire of the mountains!

 This is what our drive to church looks like.  With the sun coming over the mountains and worship music on the radio, it is a beautiful morning every time.

 This is the library is right behind our apartment and we joined the reading club.  Justin is showing off his reading card with the library in the background.  :)

 We visited Pointe Dume State Beach.  I love this picture because I usually only get their backs in beach pics.  :)

 The thing I love about California beaches so far are all the rocks.  Such a pretty bit of scenery.  I could sit all day long.

 

 ....and we're dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign!

 Okay, now be serious and look like tourists.  :)

The moon was so bright over our apartment the other night, June 23.   My mom told me that this was the closest and fullest the moon was going to be to the Earth in all of 2013.  Astronomers are calling it the "supermoon". Such a timely reminder of how small we are and how big God is!
