The Gawlikowski Adventure.: Coming to California

True to form, I had to get pregnant before we moved again. This was the second time I was pregnant during a move across the country, but this time I was still in the first trimester and nauseas 24/7 - with a toddler in tow. After moving out of our house in New Jersey in May, we spent a week at my parents' house before Andy left to drive to California. Another week later, my mom accompanied McKenna and me on the plane on our way out to join him. The next 30 days were pretty rough, since we could not get base housing and ended up in Temporary Lodging, which is basically a two-bedroom hotel room with a kitchen. Not so bad, except when you're in a new state with a family and all-day morning sickness, it's pretty hard to live out of suitcases and feel good about it. We did find a nice little rental home in a town over from the base, and got moved in. Thankfully, the first trimester ended, and so did the nausea, and California has really blessed us with beautiful weather and plenty to do!
