Some of you may remember that Kate and I threatened/promised to start a Blog in California, Kate's not here yet, but I am so I am kicking this thing off. Why Blog?? This is the best way to stay connected to everyone 3,000 miles away. I have to thank Brian Fitzgerald for exposing me to this, he's a friend that moved to Maryland and I've been reading his blog a few years. I will be posting pictures and cool links here in the future.
Kate will be out here by the end of the month, she got a sweet new job at Raytheon in LA where she will be managing some folks in a locked classifed area where she has to use a special computer that can't leave the room due to the sensitive nature of her work. I feel cooler just by being married to her.
We're also renting an apt in Santa Monica, luckily our place in Che Belmont was not exactly large so moving into our 1,200 sq foot apt is not a shock. I'm not sure some of our subaranite friends with 3,000 sq ft monuments could live here, but you city dwellers could. We live off of Montana St which is awesome (think Newbury St in Boston), it's about 3/4 of a mile from the beach and walking distance to the Promenade and Main St. For those not familiar with SM, the Promenade is a fanuel hall like area and Main St is like Central Sq in Cambridge. Looking forward to seeing most of you out here during our 3 year adventure, it is a cool place to live and visit. Few details on the apt, 2BR, 2 bathroom, 2 car parking (big deal in SM), and a dishwasher (which we've never had, we're pumped). I looked at about 50 apts so I feel pretty comfortable we found the "right" one.
Make sure you add this as a favorite in your browser, I hope to update it at least weekly and will improve the look and feel as I figure it out. Kate usually figures this stuff out faster than I do so it should be significantly better once she gets out here. Hope everyone is doing well, GO SOX!

cool stuff Jon I am so proud of you! I also want to see you become a super dude on Yelp, so we know where you are going. Pictures are good as well. Go Sox.
Props to Dave Brooks, DB, for the first comment. Brought a tear to my eye.
Very nice Jon, I'm sure Kate is impressed with the setup....We took the kids to the circus today in bean town, want to head to Pizza Regina but the kids were fried!!!! Paul and Stacey are coming over tomorrow after a trip to DB's. Got my sox tix in today's mail.....If we make it to a game 6 in the ALCS do I sell or go, that is the question??
Great job on the blog Jon! Just make sure you stick with it and update on a weekly basis. Can't wait to get out there to visit in December...you guys better start preparing now for the Papalilo's!
Jon + Kate,
The Jonathan Street gang says hello. The new neighbors are very nice. Your house is falling down... JK!! Anyway, nice place and have fun! Keep us posted.
Pete and Angela
I drove by Jonathan Street and the house actually fell down. no joke.
Walter, i say give the sox tickets to me because the joy on my face will just make you so happy.
yeah - my 1st blog experience too! maybe DB and I will start a wedding planning blog - wouldn't that be fun for everyone to read :) love the pics - i'd like to see the beach when you get a chance. miss you guys!
I can't believe that you're near the beach AND you have a dishwasher. Could life get any better?
Your place looks great and I am very happy for the two of you. You'll have three years of fun, sun, adventure to look forward to while many of the rest of us are getting ready to hunker down for the winter with late night feedings and diaper duty!
Good luck, and we miss you! We look forward to hearing from the "real Jon Rea" in this blog.
Thanks for the shout out dude!
Definitely going to be a frequent reader now that I got wind of the site.
good luck with everything.
Prediction - Beckett dominates tonight.
Jon, if you don't start answering my phone calls at 10:15 PM your time, I am going to keep Kate here to myself. I wanted to talk to someone about Josh Beckett and his choice of words and you were the only one I thought I could talk to at 1:15 AM our time. STOP PRESSING IGNORE on your celluar! Love, BMILE
