The 4 days we were homeless.....

Our 1st 4 days in San Jose, Jon & I were homeless and living in a hotel.  It really was pretty nerve wrenching, thinking about the fact that we packed up our lives and moved about 850 miles to California.  Of course, when we 1st planned our move, we DID have a place to live! You can read about all of that excitement here and here.

It was pretty hard living in a hotel, especially without Miley, and also just living off of faith that everything would work out and that we would find a place to live.  I felt so lost and out of it those 4 days.  I was homesick, and didn't have my baby with me to make me smile, talking about Miley, not Jon, lol.  I think that was the hardest thing for me, because I didn't want Miley to be sad and feel abandoned by us.

We arrived in San Jose Thursday night, and Friday morning, we began our search for a place to live.  It was a LONG day of driving around the area and looking at different apartments, it definitely was shocking hearing how much a small 2 bedroom apartment rents for around here!

Our fuel on Friday morning! It was a yummy start to our day! :)

By the Friday afternoon, we found the perfect apartment, well perfect enough.  Rent for the apartment was still insane BUT it was cute and met all of our needs.  Spoiler alert:  We ended up getting approved for the apartment Tuesday morning, so I checked out of our hotel that morning, picked Miley up and headed to our new home! Here is a sneak preview of our new living space

Cute right? :)

We spent most of our homeless time hanging out with Tom, he showed us around to the local bars and introduced us to his friends.  Something great about this area is that everyone is so friendly and welcoming, its been great!

Saturday, Jon and I decided to spend some time with Miley since she had been living with Tom.  We took her to PetCo, walked around and bought her some treats :)  Then we headed over to a park near our new apartment to enjoy the sunshine.  

My 2 loves!

As you can see, Miley enjoyed the park.  She was a very happy girl :)

The awesome park near our new apartment!

Saturday evening was the 1st Duck game of the season, so Jon search for Oregon Duck fan bars in San Jose and he found one! So we headed out  to "Rookies" and Jon was SO happy the moment we walked in! Everyone was decked out in Duck gear, the bar even has Duck game specials, where they give you discounted food and drinks if you are sporting Duck grear during the game.  Rookies is definitley going to be our go to bar during Duck season! 

Gotta sport my Hello Kitty Duck shirt! 

Monday was Labor day, and Tom had a pool party at his place with friends.

Even though Jon and I were homeless and without Miley.  We did our best to enjoy our 1st weekend as California residents, and I think we did a pretty good job! :)  We pretty much felt like we were on vacation!

More about our moving adventure to come!
