Hey Everyone!
I know that we have been horrible about keeping in touch, so we decided that it would be best if we started a blog that way you could all have a window into the secluded lives of the Needham's! We have all been really busy lately. Nathan has been studying like crazy! I have been working like crazy! And both of us have been going crazy trying to keep up with Echo's shedding. Who knew that the hair is never ending!!!
When we moved to California we were very nervous! We didn't know what to expect and it turns out things are better than we could have hoped! We have met some really cool couples that we really enjoy spending time with. It is so beautiful here! It is nice to be a hop, skip and jump away from the ocean. And the sunsets here are breathtakingly beautiful. I was fortunate enough to find a job in Big Sur, California. The only downside of the job is that it's a 1 hour drive down there. But again, the drive is so beautiful it makes the distance and time worth it. Big Sur is this 90 mile stretch of the coastline that is gorgeous, I have yet to see a coastline as breathtaking as this one.
It is wonderful working in Big Sur, where you are surrounded by nothing more than natural beauty. Woods full of redwoods, pines, ferns, waterfalls and rivers! It is a little like Sequim, and no matter what the weather is around Big Sur, in Big Sur it is always gorgeous! If you are ever in California, Big Sur is a must see! We also went to Pfeiffer Beach which is full of these really cool rock formations that the waves crash through! Definitely a must see for sunset! On the drive down from Monterey, right before the Bixby Bridge on the left hand side is the "Old Coast Road" if you have a SUV or Jeep, I would recommend taking this drive down and come back up on the highway! It makes the trip a little longer, and quite a bit bumpier but the views from inland and BREATHTAKING!!! You come out on top of the El Sur Ranch and the view is AMAZING! Again! A must-do if you have the time and car!
Echo is loving it here! He gets to spend so much time with us as compared to before! Nathan leaves early in the morning for school, then I leave about mid-day for work and a couple hours later, Nathan is home. Echo's favorite thing to do here is to go down to Carmel and play at the beach. The beach there is very pet friendly and you will always find some kind of pooch frolicking around playing in the surf. Echo and I spent a good two hours there yesterday and then took a stroll through Carmel ( most shops in Carmel are pet friendly). Echo is still afraid of the waves, but its learning to enjoy them! From Carmel Beach you get a glimpse of the Pebble Beach golf course as well as more of that beautiful coastline! The cypress trees are also really cool.
Well thats the latest in the life of the Needham's! We plan on doing something new every weekend. Not sure what the plans are for this weekend, however if we do anything cool! We will let you know!
Toodles for now!
Love,
Nathan and Monica
