LIfe in Santa Barbara

Wow!  I forgot about the blog.  I will see if I can update it.  We are in Santa Barbara, CA and have been living here for over 2 years this November.  I can't believe how time has flown.  Mark is on his 2nd job here and likes this job.  That is good because there aren't too many jobs for him in this town.  I am working as a Special Ed aide in an elementary school and like it.  It keeps me busy and brings in a little extra.  Brynne is starting high school in a few weeks.  I can't believe I have a Freshman in the house.  She is in marching band and has spent all summer at marching camp and doing her volunteer hours at the Natural History museum.  Morgan will be starting junior high.  Torey will be in 4th grade and Whitni will be in 3rd grade.  They start school in 2 weeks.  It is about time.  We have spent our summer riding to the beach an 8-10 mile ride round trip. Then we do crafts or go to the museum or hang out at the beach.  Life is real rough.  We live about 1 mile from the beach walking or ride to another beach.  We are enjoying it here very much.
