Hello from Sacramento

We have arrived and are finally back online! I felt so lost without internet especially in trying to find places around here! It is defenitly a different world! We are for sure in a bubble in Rexburg, but I think I kinda like it! People are actually covered and not falling out in every place imaginable!We are enjoying it so far, and grateful to have other interns here as well with famlies! It's been fun getting to know them and having people to do things with. We aren't in the best part of Sacramento but there is a lot if things within a close distance you don't have to go far! And there is a huge mall a few blocks down with every store imaginable! I loved it! We left on Thursday afternoon after Damon's appt and headed towards Reno. There is nothing driving through Nevada! But there are prisons and hitchhiking signs to not pick them up! Kinda creepy! We rolled into Reno at about 10:30 p.m. and stayed the night there! After going through towns of nothing, rolling into Reno was quite a site! Lots of lights and grand hotels and casinos! That was really crazy to us that there are casinos every where! Gas stations, grocery stores, any where they could put one there was one!



I can't get this one to go to the bottom, but this is just right outside our apt. I know ghetto! And all the apartments are gated in with a code to get in! Scary!


Our first stop for dinner was in Wendover! A little gambling town!

Welcome to California!


These next pictures are of our apt. They aren't the greatest things in the world and have a smell that doesn't go away! Its constant candles burning!



Our kitchen




the rest of the kitchen with the table





Our living room. We have Hotel furniture but atleast we didnt have to bring our own!















bathroom, pretty small







boys' room









Our room. The rooms are pretty big compared to what were used too, so that a plus! They particular ones re-done more recently thank goodness! There are some that are a lot worse!
Were loving this experience and are going to have a lot of fun here!

Looks like a nice place on the inside. Very hotel looking on the outside!! But spacious and clean and that's a good thing!! Reminds me of our Las Vegas furniture. But you have pictures on your walls.

I'm very excited for you guys. It will be a fun adventure. It is exciting getting to experience new places and things. It sounds like there will be plenty of fun things to do while you are down there, the plus side to living in a big city! I told Seth this morning that it would be the perfect time to take a trip to Sacramento since you guys have your own hotel and everything! It would be a blast!
