The Chico Blog Team
Thursday, May 22, 2008

Not too long after I got back to Chico, I realized the music scene here has really grown and the nightlife scene has so much potential, but no one was really advertising nightlife events or telling people what's going on in the nightlife scene. So....I decided to make a website and MySpace page for a Chico Nightlife Calendar and named it The Chico Blog Team, which includes myself, my husband, and my sister.

In the last 6 months or so it has really grown and gained a lot of support from the musicians, DJs, clubs, and party people. We changed it from a blog to a five page website and added more features like a weekly newsletter coming in June, song of the week by local artists, and many other promotions and projects.

So if you want to know what's happening in the Chico nightlife scene, visit http://www.chicoblogteam.com and tell your friends!!

My Day at Bidwell Park
Wednesday, July 25, 2007

I have been LOVING being back in Chico!! The atmosphere is soooooo different from the bay. It's definitely way more laid back here. My family and I have especially been enjoying the park since we've been back. Here's some of the recent pix:

WOW! I Made it Home!!
Friday, April 27, 2007

When we set out to accomplish something major with seemingly no resources, the goal seems almost unreachable. I said I wanted to get my family back to Chico, and within a couple months, we were here with a great job for my husband and a VERY nice house. The reason it took me so long to post this news (we moved March 31) is I've been so busy with my new blog. It's about Chico, ca parties and events. Now that I'm home, I'm enjoying the people and atmosphere, and I LOVE reporting it!! Check it out! It's at http://chicoevents.blogspot.com. Thanks for tuning in. Over and out, good buddy. LMAO

We Found a House!!

I have been packing for days!! We're almost there! The countdown is on. 17 days until we move to Chico.
We visited this weekend to look at houses, and saw a lot of nice ones, but the house we decided on kinda fell into our laps. My dad called my cell and told me he knew a lady who was looking to rent out her 3 bd 2 ba house in the avenues, a sought-after shady quiet neighborhood in Chico. We went to look at the house, and were amazed by how big and beautiful it was. There's also a little courtyard in the back yard, and a mother-in-law cottage in the back. Hellz yeah!!! The house also includes a family room, which is VERY nice.
It worked out great for everyone because the owner has property taxes coming up soon and she had no idea how she was going to pay them. Now she can use the rent we give her to pay.
Everything just seemed to fall into place, and it seems like this was really meant to be. Thank God, cuz it's what I REALLY wanted.
When we get to Chico, this blog will change and become "Loving Life in Chico." I couldn't think of a better name, and it will include many pictures of the lovely scenery Chico has to offer. Stay tuned!!

Hubby Got the Job!!
Friday, March 02, 2007

Mikey applied for a great job in Chico that will actually give us an income raise!! We've been seriously looking for only about a week, and it paid off! We just got the word this morning, and now we're looking for a house! :)
This means so much. We have been working toward this goal for months now, and we're almost there! I am amazed at how God works...and I know the reason this is happening is his grace. I'll be updating actively now, since we're really in the swing of things FINALLY!! Stay tuned....
