So far...

Well not much has been going on so far.  Bella and I spend most days sitting in the room, cleaning, doing laundry and making Sean lunch.  Yes, it appears I am practicing to be a housewife.  Hahahahaha!  Bella is absolutely loving the weather out here and just the other day I caught her sunning on the patio. 
I did get a little nervous last Thursday because Bella's entire body broke out in hives.  After going to the vet for a shot and taking benedryl every day/night for 5 days, she is getting much better.  I've been thinking about what could have caused the breakout, cause she's in contact with so many new things here, but I think it was her rabies shot.  Last year right after her yearly shot, she did the exact same thing!  I've done some research online and it appears that this is common in some dogs.  I'll be talking to the vet before she gets next year's!

Oh and one the same day that I took her to the vet, I managed to run all over a curb in Sean's car.  He wasn't upst but I cried :(  
On a more positive note, Sean and I ran in the Pinapple Classic last Saturday.  It was a 5K but with different obstacles that you had to do throughout the race.  We had to climb over walls, climb under ropes, go up and under some bails of hay and pipes and finally end by climbing an 8 foot rock wall.  Climbing down the rock wall was the scariest part considering their obstacles weren't very stable.  However, we manged to finish the race and actually placed 32nd and 34th out of 600+ runners.  I said to Sean, "See, we are runners!"

Also, I thought I would add this photo because it's so cute!  Sean doesn't like to admit how much he loves the pug, because she keeps him up with her snoring at night, but I have the proof!!!  This is actually what he does everyday when he gets home from work :)
Well I will keep you updated on the weeks to come.  This weekend I will be attempting to surf again and Sean bought me my very own wetsuit.  Notice the purple accents...he knows me well :)

Our first weekend in Cali.

Well Bella and I finally made it to sunny California!!!  Bella did great on the plane and only got a little scared during take off and landing.  During take off, she acutally climbed into my lap and was able to sit there for 20 minutes until the flight attendant said she needed to stay in her bag :(  I was very proud of her!

Yesterday, Sean, his mom (Kimberly) and I took a tour of Alcatraz.  It was such a great, educational experience and we all had a great time.  The ferry ride to the island was beautiful.  We were able to see the city from the bay and it was breathtaking.  The ride was also very cold and windy!  I'll post more pictures later but you probably won't be able to see my face because my hair was blowing all over the place!  Hahahaha!  After the visit I told Sean that I wanted to watch a documentary on Alcatraz and get some more details about the place.  I felt like the tour was somewhat of a preview of everything that took place there.  Soooo cool!!!

Today, Bella and I have been trying to unpack and get everything organized for the summer.  Well Bella hasn't been much help because she's been sleeping all day :)  She only gets up when I leave the room and then she runs out looking for me.  Sean was acutally able to give me a lot more space then I thought, considering he lives in a BEDROOM!  It's a converted living room so it's bigger than you may be thinking.
