During our vacation, we drove the hour over to visit previous neighbors and good friends that we knew from our 7 years of living in Temecula. (We moved away 9 years ago and have lived in Taylor, TX ever since). Temecula has grown HUGE in our 9 year absence, with the population shooting up from 56,000 in 2000 to a whopping 103,000 in 2009! During that time, our previous church there has built a whole new church campus, which we saw for the first time during this vacation.
