Dudebro, California

SoCal is so hot.  It's crazy how much humidity plays into heat.  I never really noticed it before.  Back in Central PA the weather was always so humid and hot, but here in Simi Valley the weather is higher in temperature, but drier.  I'm honestly not sure which is worse, but considering that the house I'm living at doesn't have AC, PA was a lot less grueling.  It's almost like people plan their day out based around the weather.  Gonna be a hot one?  Get out of the house and go shopping or to the beach.  Going to be a little cooler?  Stay at home and get things done. 
Life is amazing though, and God continues to bless me beyond any of my expectations.  On the way down to Philadelphia the day before we flew out, I got a call from one of my roommates offering to find us a ride from LAX to our house.  Done.  We didn't have to pay $30 for a shuttle ticket.  The house that we're living at?  Phenomenal.  Currently there's 7 guys and a couple living here.  The other guys are all super chill and so much fun to hang with.  They've been great tour guides as they've graciously shuttled us around the city, to the beach, from the airport, and to get groceries.  The couple that owns that house that we rent from are a huge blessing to us.  Rent is incredibly cheap for SoCal, and it also includes utilities.  Pretty much the only thing we need to provide is our food, but there are also infrequent times that they'll feed us.  Like tonight.  Everywhere I look I see God time and time again coming through for us.  Like today, we found two bikes on Craigslist and bought them.  Sure, they're pieces of junk that make noises, clank, and rattle, but they're our transportation, and they were super cheap and had two wheels. 
Today, I was in the mood for a bookstore and a thrift store so I looked them up on my phone, hopped on my bike and pedaled off.  Unfortunately, I never ended up finding them.  However, I ran across a store called 99 Cents Only which turned out to be a Godsend and a goldmine for future grocery trips.  Thank you again, Lord!
Yesterday we went to Zuma beach in Malibu and just chilled for a while.  It was awesome to be able to say that I have now been in two oceans!  From what our roommates say, Eternity is crazy intense the first semester.  We're still trying to decide if we should get jobs awhile or just wait a little bit. 
To say that I'm enjoying living in SoCal would be a gross understatement.  I'm loving it.  Soaking every minute up.  This opportunity is amazing, and to think that God would bless me with this life is an incredible thought.  I have everything I need:  Friends, a house and bed, food, transportation.  God has provided everything. 
Ways you can pray?  Continued guidance as far as jobs go.  Textbooks to pour in.  And finally, good health.
