More on the trip to California!

Well since I'm not so tired this time around, I thought I'd share more details about the trip! It was relatively cheap, which was good for both of us. We spent alot of time just cuddling and watching some of our favorite shows, whilst she also introduced me to a few of her favorites. She also introduced me to "Repo: The Genetic Opera" which was extremely gory...but rather fun! As I mentioned previously, we took a tour of the Jelly Belly Factory which was informative and quite enjoyable! At one point in time, her father decided to give me a tour of one of the Sea Scout ships that he and Becca had both been a part of running at one point.

    Other than that, we went out to catch the sights of the town and one of our treks led us into Old Sacramento, which is kind of small but is a thriving little tourist trap. We moseyed around for a few hours, checking out all the shops we could before we got too tired. There was a shop selling sharp objects...I wanted to stay...and buy them all :P One of more interesting places we stopped at was a little toy shop, whose name escapes me at the moment, but it had a giant train set. It was awesome! The end of our little tour down there was a stop at a quaint little pizzeria/buffet. Needless to say I was darn near rolling out of there.

    The rest of the trip was spent walking, talking and getting to know Becca's parents even better. Even played a few games of cribbage, which I am not entirely too good at but...it was good together time. I'd go back down there in a heartbeat...Just having her near is enough to make me content.

  Well...thats it for now. Until Next time!

Christmas/New years

First of all, I want to say a belated Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to all of you! I spent my christmas down in california with the girlfriend. Had a fantastic time too! Jelly Belly factory tour + free samples = win!

Other than that I got to know her mother and father, both very kind people. Her mother knit me a blanket, which made me feel welcome and not so awkward. Her dad had a talk with me about plans for the future and such and he's alright with me, which made me feel way better about things.

Now onto the future! Right now, I am still job searching and taking classes at CCC, hoping that this economy picks up soon. Being jobless doesn't exactly make one feel like they're at the top of the world. I plan on sticking with Becca for a very, very long time and I'll need someway to support her so here's to fruitful classes and job hunting!

Well, thats all for now...I couldn't sleep so I wanted to update you all on what was going on. Until next time!
