First Day of Spring!



Sacramento has these gorgeous "sour cherry" trees everywhere! They are so beautiful when they are lined up right next to each other down a street. It makes me think of the cherry blossoms in DC. They do give sortta bad allergies though- the only down side to them.

I've gotten to do a lot of traveling around northern california and the sacramento area for my job lately. And in both areas I've been going to, I am shocked by how beautiful and diverse the state of California is! While nothing compares to the view of Pipes and Swamis in Cardiff, there is something to be said for foliage, mountains, snow and the smell of fresh air from all the trees up here in northern california. I was out in El Dorado Hills, which is about 60 miles west of Lake Tahoe, in the rolling hills and trees, and it was gorgeous right at sunrise. Breath taking. Last week I was up in Shasta and they have huge orchards of olive groves up there. The smell is wonderful! I've never smelled olive groves before, but now I love it! It's amazing to learn and experience new things and the move to Sacramento has provided such a great opportunity for that.

Harrison has been here for a whole week now! Time is flying by! My mom was so gracious enough to stay for this week also and watch Harrison during the day (along with being my personal assistant!). I don't think I could have gotten through this crazy, hectic week without her help! She is amazing and I thank her for all her support! It was great to see her, spend time (alot of time) talking, good therapy sessions. I was sad to see her go, and even sadder that I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted with her. But hopefully she will be able to come up again soon!

I've got plenty of pictures to post of Harrison's first week, but no time to do it. I'll get around to it this weekend. So check back soon!
