We have left Southern California for now. It is with sad hearts though. We have met some really awesome people there. We mostly met some really awesome pioneers in the Holistic and Alternative Medical treatments. Wow. I love the entrepreneurial attitude it is just where I need to be.
We really have to trust God on this one though. We were running out of funds as it is extremely expensive to live in Southern California. The rent is very high and when our last lease ran out we moved to a hotel temporary so that we could keep Ms Abi in therapy and treatments. I dislike hotels. We all dislike hotels. We were able to become a fixture at The Residence Inn because they had a kitchen but I will tell you hotel living is not for me. I traveled enough when I worked away from home before family and kids.
We had Speech therapy in Northern California that I had to change the appointment on several times. The problem was getting a hotel with a full kitchen. So I had to cancel. We won't be able to get a hotel for the solid month that we need for Speech Therapy at The Swain Center until after January. We are all really bummed about this.
We had another appointment for the family to have dental appointments. I had planned a few months in advance to go to the dentist out of state once we finished the Speech Therapy. This was suppose to happen in November so I made a hotel reservation for the appointment and we decided to go early. I don't know if we can get in early or not. It has been nice to have some time away from appointments.
We may stay here until after the first of the year. We are also in the process of moving out of the state of California as it was suppose to be a temporary trial of our daughters medical care. It has been fun meeting all the great people we have done therapy and treatments with. It has been fun driving and doing a history lesson for the girls and seeing the coastline of California. It is just beautiful. Its warm year round and there are no seasons.
We also experienced a couple of small 4.1 earthquakes while there I can do without that. I was going to post some pictures but blogger won't let me upload them from my computer any longer and I don't care to store pictures on the internet any longer. I am in the process of starting our family blog and we are purchasing the domain so as soon as that happens I'll be forwarding that information on to you.
Please continue that thank God for His loving favor on our family. Thank Him for protection over our family. Thank God for His provision for us. We are in His service!
with love
Paris,
ReplyDeleteI am sad that it has taken me this long to get back to you! Where are you "located" now? Ya know, everything happens for a reason, and you were meant to leave LA and head North for the time being. As long as you all have each other, stay strong and try to find the good in the process.
Please feel free to give me a call 775-250-6381, as I have not forgotten about you all either. Hope the girls are well, and if you are still in Northern CA, maybe we can see you sometime soon (we are 3 1/2 hours away from the bay).
Best,
Maria
Maria, because of iPhones and computer issues it is not always easy to have communication. I guess Ma Bell never travelled. LOL Seriously I hope you all are doing great! I had hoped that sometime when we were in LAngeles we would see you all. It was such a fun play date for the girls to play after therapy that day. Check out our website of Abigaile.org and Beachnest.net. We have been coast to coast twice for therapy and treatments and to get our coach serviced. We currently are in Arkansas. I'm embarrassed that I am just now getting back to you.
