Fun stuff

Ryan and I were able to attend a Dave Mathews Band concert at the Verizon Wireless amphitheater a few days ago. It was so awesome and even though we were so far away from the stage, in the very back seated on the grassy lawn, the sound was great and our view was astounding.




A couple days ago I spent quite a few hours at the DMV and after a lot of waiting around and a lot of paperwork I was able to register my car and apply for my California license. I'm happy to report that all was successful and my car is now equipped with California plates and my new DL should arrive within the next few weeks. When I arrived home that evening I was so exhausted and starved so Ryan and I grabbed some food at Costco and went to see Despicable Me. I've never had a better tasting hot dog than the one I had that day. :d


To show their appreciation Ryan's work provided him with baseball tickets so yesterday we spent the day at the baseball stadium and watched the LA Angels battle it out against the Tampa Bay Rays. Although the Rays started out strong with their first hit being a home run, the Angels kicked ass and beat the Rays winning 12-3. An awesome game and an awesome day... even though I got burned and I am now forced to sport my super cool farmer burn lines.

The BIG move!

I made it to California! I am no longer a Utah resident, though I will always be a Utahn... I think its embedded in me whether I like it or not. The move itself went pretty smoothly and I've managed to unpack all of my belongings and settle in. I haven't done all that needs to be done but I'm getting closer to accomplishing those tasks. I have been applying for jobs at nearby stores and have had one interview so far, cross you fingers that I'll find good employment soon! My dear sister Kari and my friend Lana crammed into my packed car with me and kept me company for the long drive down and stayed for the weekend. Was very nice to spend time with them both and to have some good laughs to help transition me to the new area. Ryan has been very helpful as well and making me feel at home. His work recently had a 'Casino Night' themed party which was quite fun to attend. Many of his coworkers I have already met so it was great to see them all again. I've also met a couple of our neighbors who are very friendly and welcoming. Having good neighbors is ALWAYS a wonderful thing. :D I know this blog isn't entirely detailed but I promise there will be more to come! I'm quite excited to see how everything from here on is going to pan out and I wish to share it all with whoever is interested.
