Fresno, CA

I think I am finally settled in! My mom and I got to Fresno Wednesday night and met the family I will be living with. They were so sweet to us and we could not have picked a better situation. I put together some "goodies" from Texas for a welcome gift... complete with chips and hot sauce, a "don't mess with Texas mug, Texas hot pad, Texas-shaped pasta, Texas sized jelly beans, and preserves! (Thanks to Rachel for the idea!)


Thursday I had orientation at the hospital. It was so cute!

Here is a picture of the entrance


They had several animals along the road to the hospital... really "kid friendly"

I started my internship on Friday and love it. It is going to be very challenging... but I am looking forward to what is ahead!

My mom flew back to Texas today and I discovered the mall! It doesn't take me long!

Some things I like so far about Cali...
1. Every yard is landscaped beautifully! I went on a walk tonight and there is not one yard without bright green, carpet-like grass and beautiful flowers! So nice!
2. No humidity... it is hot here (102-104 during the day) but no moisture in the air like back home!
3. AND... I found a Chic-Fil-A this weekend! I was getting a little worried b/c I had not seen one since Texas! I was not sure what I was going to eat... but no worries... there is one close by!
4. Awesome fruit! There are orchards all around the area and they sell fresh peaches, grapes, plums, and lots more!

Things I already miss about Texas...
1. Friends and family close by
2. Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream
3. Of course... Tucker!
