Jamael and I started running together. We're working towards the Thanksgiving 5K that my sisters and Isaac ran last year. Here we are before our first mile...

Beach Day

Wednesday of last week the Chandler/Nickell/Trevino clan took a trip to Morro Beach for the day. We had lunch at Giovanni's and got a big bucket of fish and chips. It was quite tasty.

Looking for crabs and starfish

We split some very yummy cinnamon rolls before hitting the sand.

A lot of us decided it was a good time to take a nap. I felt like I was getting sick so I slept most of the time on the beach.

The kids had a blast and got covered in sand!

So did Heather....

Our Place

Jonah and I have our own place!! It's a one bed, one bath duplex near downtown Visalia. Our friends lived here before us and were ready to move out so we were able to put our application in as soon as they gave their 30 day notice and we got it! It was built sometime between the 1920-40's so it has some character to it but we love it. We are so excited to finally get to use all of our wedding gifts. It was great fun unpacking all the boxes with our dishes, silverware, bowls, knives, etc that we now get to use!

Our first time opening the door with the key.


Mom and Sarah helped us paint our first day.
