1st September in California!

It has been a Crazy and busy month that has felt like a year! I started school exactly a month ago today. It has gone by fast as far as school is concerned but everything else has gone slow. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my classes! I just know this is the program for me and I know I am supposed to be here...



Troy and I drove down on Aug 30th. It took us 13hrs with the trailer and I don't think Troy realized how long it would take us. But he is a champ! Even the next day when we had to take everything to my storage unit he didn't say anything. I seriously couldn't have done this with out him! Thanks Troy!!!




The first weekend I got here my new roommate, Carin, had planned a huge party at Pismo Beach with about 60 LDS singles. It was Crazy and Fun! I only new Carin so I had a lot of people to meet who all had their friends. It was overwheling at times but mostly fun with lots of dancing, great food and people. Pismo Beach is the only beach in CA that you are allowed to drive on. I have never seen anything like it! you are looking at the beach and it literally looks like the the 1 has moved to the beach. A constant stream of cars all day and all night. With the sand dunes there it is like W.T. Heaven!

One of the days we were there a group of us drove up to Hearst Castle. It is amazing and in the middle of no where. But if you ever have the chance to see it...go!






The 3rd weekend in September I drove down to visit my cute friend Rosey and her friends to see the wonderful Darius Rucker and Brad Paisley in concert. I love concerts and this one was so fun! It was a little crazy with all the drunk people and let's be honest no one does White Trash like Country Music! So Fun!

I got to San Diego really early because I didn't want to be in traffic getting out of L.A. so I found the San Diego Temple and walked around. It has always been my favorite temple. I think it looks like a castle and the grounds are so BEAUTIFUL!



I did get moved in so I will post pictures of the apartment and area soon. I love my roommate. She is really easy to live with and a lot of fun. I feel like there was divine intervention in having us live together. The ward is good. Lots of people but I am excited to get involved and meet people.





The hardest thing about leaving Utah is not seeing My Cookie Face everyday! I love that little guy and I am glad that he is starting to talk on the phone. He told me the other day he wants to me come home! And today he sang me songs (ABC's, Ring around the Rosie, Twinkle Twinkle, and Dinosaurs go Stomp Stomp Stomp) I am not sure about the last one but the others were sang perfectly! I miss you Graham!



P.S. The battery died in my camera so I didn't have any pictures luckily Rosey had hers and google images is a great thing.
