CHICO

I've had a few special requests to start up the blog again. So here I am typing away! As most of you know this is an exciting time in the Beck's life.  We have started a new adventure in Chico, California. It is a little cooler here and in the evenings I find myself sitting next to the fire place trying to keep my toesies warm. I have been so spoiled the past 6 years living in Ventura county with such great weather year round.  Why are we here again? Oh yeah, Jeff works for Vivint Solar and is currently opening a new office for them here. He is loving his new position as the operational manager. When he first started work up here he was mostly doing interviews to try and find the perfect crew to make the Chico office a success! He has majority of his staff hired and they are hoping to have this office up and running this coming week. I have been putting the house together and playing house wife. I'd say I'm getting pretty good at it. ;) It's amazing how much easier it is to want to cook meals when I don't have school or work draining my energy. Of course it has been an adjustment being home by myself during the day but I'm sure I'll be used to it soon. One of the frequently asked question I get when people find out we have relocated is "Are you going to look for a job?"  The answer to this question is no. Jeff and I discussed it and we decided I would spend my days putting the house together and working on projects that I've been wanting to do for a while now. Luckily the timing of this new position could not have been any better for us. I am currently waiting for my associates degree in the mail which means that to leave school wasn't too disappointing for me.  I do have one more class I need to take to transfer to a University so I will be looking into that so I can continue my education. Today was our first day going to church out here. Everyone was super friendly which at times was a little overwhelming for me. (I know it sounds weird but I am who I am.)  I love change but the transition is usually a little hard for me. If I'm being completely honest I was nervous and all the questions about "The Beck's" made me go into awkward mode and I felt like I forgot how to talk. ha. I told Jeff that since we have been here I kind of feel like I have been on vacation but after going to church today it all became more real for me that this is our new home. Of course Jeff is adjusting fine which makes me a little jealous. But, all is well with us and we are loving life. I will slowly be posting pictures of the house when things start coming together more but for now here are a few pics. Love you all! Thank you for all of the love and support we are very blessed!
 
We love our neighbors! One of them brought over these flowers. I posted two pictures because I wanted to show how they bloomed.


 
Our other neighbor works for a bread company and brought us all of this bread. It's amazing having a neighborhood that is its own little community.
 Our church building is less than 5 minutes away from our house. I really love how the outside of our church building looks so I made Jeff take a picture of me and then I wanted a picture of us together.
Happy sunday people.

  1. So glad you are starting up again. Yea!
    Try to have fun with the move, easier said than done. But nobody knows you guys out there yet so it can be fun to kinda start over/new/fresh.
    Jeff always makes those kinds of things too easy.
