Cool Kids on the Block

So ever since we moved to California, people want to visit us. It is like we are all of a sudden the coolest kids on the block. Even Issac's partner, who lives in the desert, wants to buy a new house here in San Clemente since we have gotten here. So to any and all, you are more than welcome to come visit the newest coolest people in OC. :)

Still Here

We are safely in California! Hooray. Isaac is working hard and I am hardly working. Actually I am not working at all. I am in the process of finding a job. I wish people would just hire me. No such luck so far.

But things are great. We love our new apartment, but we can tell that we are not in Provo anymore. I would love to keep our front door open more so we can feel the nice weather, however there are a lot of people who like to smoke in our courtyard and it gets in. I can't really stand that smell and neither can Isaac so our door remains shut. We really aren't anti-social! We are still trying to get the feel of our new town. We have a Wal-Mart, but it hardly sells any food. *GASP* So I am looking for a new grocery store that has reasonable prices. I think I need to get into couponing.

So every single night, but one, Isaac and I have walked along the beach. It is great! and so pretty. I love it. We are going to post pictures of what our new apartment and town looks like but we keep putting it off because our house is messy. So once we get it clean, then we will let the world know.

Moving On

Isaac and I have moved on from the life of college students. Yes, we finally graduated on April 23! Whoo Yoo!!! It was great. Both of families were able to come to our graduation. The graduation itself was rather boring, but I was glad we did it because Isaac and I got to walk together. We both graduated from the college of Family, Home, and Social Sciences. It is the biggest college in BYU. It took us an HOUR AND HALF to walk. ZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! After graduation we hurried and pack what was left in the shack and left with Isaac's parents to drive back to Texas with them to visit before we go to Cali. The drive was 24 hours straight. I am never doing that again! We didn't stop to sleep or anything. Isaac drove for 14 hours straight through the night. We all pretty grumpy when it was over, or at least I was. So now we are in Texas visiting the fam and worrying about SWINE FLU. That's scary.

So what is next? We are flying back to Utah for Brian and Aimee's wedding! Hooray! Then we will head up to my parents house in Idaho to visit them for a couple of days. That will be fun. Then we are headed on a camping trip with our friends, Jonathan and Alicia, for old times sake. Then finally on to California to work (Isaac) and job hunt (me). I have picture of all of our exciting adventures so far, but don't have them with me, so the viewing of our fantastic trips will have to wait a little bit. Sorry. :)

We Have Moved :)

This past weekend Isaac and I moved to California! Too bad that I had to come back :( That is ok cause I have less than a month till I get to move there for real.

I absolutely love it. Isaac did a wonderful, fantastic, superb job in finding an apartment. There are some things that I love about our new apartment:
  1. 4 blocks from the ocean ( we went down there one night and watched whales :)
  2. It has new carpet
  3. Big bedroom
  4. Real cupboards and drawers in the kitchen (our shack had a total of 3 cupboards and 1 drawer)
  5. All our of furniture fits in it! (it didn't in our las apartment so we had to keep stuff at neighbor's)
  6. Very peaceful
  7. The landlady is so adorable and I can already feel what good friends we are going to be :)
  8. Flowers everywhere outside
  9. It is walking distance from almost everything I need. Hooray exercise!
  10. Most of all, Isaac and I will get to be there together.

I forgot to bring my camera when we went so I will have Isaac take it one time he goes down and take pictures so I can post what it looks like.

California!



As many people know Isaac and I are moving to California after graduation. Now I come from a very small town in Idaho, so moving to California is a little scary. There are things that I am most excited for and things that I am not to stoked about.

Hooray!
  • Isaac and I will live in the same state
  • Warm weather
  • Living 4 blocks away from the beach
  • Having a new apartment
  • Having so many fun things to do in Cali
  • Not having to go to school
  • Having a new adventure with Isaac
  • Flip-flops being the required footwear
EEEAK!
  • Having to get a real job
  • Traffic
  • Living in a big city
  • Not knowing anyone in Cali
  • How expensive Cali is
  • Not being liked cause we are Mormon
  • Being far from family

Catching Up

I am finally going to post some pictures of what we have been doing lately.





Our friends (Jon and Alicia) are moving into a trailer that her parents own. They get it for free, but they have to fix it up theirselves. It has been 10 years since someone has lived in that trailer so it needed a lot of fixing up. Isaac went our there one Saturday to help Job fix the plumbing and do other manly things.

When we got up there it was snowing and soooo cold. But those boys toughed it out. They had to get underneath the trailer to fix the pipes. I will tell you what, I could not have done it. It was dirty, cold, dark and cramped under there. They got sooooo muddy. But I think that they had fun.

The other pictures are of my best friends, Emmy and Leanna. They surprised me and came to visit on weekend. We stayed up so late and just talked. It was so good to see them. Emmy is being a human coathanger and Leanna is being cute!

Life on Hold

So it has been a while since I last posted. Lately I don't really have any news or stories that are post worthy. Isaac is still in Cali and I am still in Utah. I really feel like our life is on hold. I keep waiting to be able to move, waiting to graduate, waiting to get a job, waiting to live in the same state as my husband.

Waitng.....
Waiting......
Waiting.........

But there are lots of things to keep me busy. My mom is coming down to visit and help me pack this week. I am still working. I am also going to work real hard on indexing. Oh,.... and school. *sigh*.

But exciting news, we are moving all of our material possessions down to Cali the 1st of April and then will have a couple of days there. That is will so much fun. I get to see my new apartment!!!
