Destination: Los Angeles

WE MADE IT!!!

We got in Sunday evening, just in time to come home to some fabulous BBQ that my Auntie Diane had whipped up for us! She is amazing. My mom was a HUGE help to us, and helped drive our 16-foot truck and provide us with some great comical relief. :) Thanks Mommy!

We have spent the last couple days unpacking, painting, running errands, and getting all settled into a new area; it's been a nonstop adventure! Micah is living in Hollywood, and I'm a 25 minute drive over in Temple City. A big shout out to Jon, who I've known since kindergarden... he's given Micah a place to live and has been so welcoming to the both of us! Their place is a cute spacious Spanish style duplex, and is super close to the W hotel and the Walk of Fame! My house is going to be a fun project. My aunt and uncle inherited my uncle's mom's house, and was she QUITE the collector! If the Queen of England had a fancy over-the-top vintage get-away, this would be it. Micah and I have already transformed my room, and it's pretty much the only modern day room in the entire house, haha. It will be fun to see how the rest of the house is transformed!

Most my stuff is still in boxes, but once I dig my camera cord out, I will post some pictures of our move and new homes! Until then, hopefully this picture of Micah will hold you over. We were at a rest stop somewhere along I-5... he looks so happy to be in the sun!

Last day as a Seattelite!

Tomorrow will be the last of my Seattleite days. During the past two weeks, I have frantically been sorting, organizing, and packing up what has been an amazing past six years into an array of mismatched boxes. It's been so sad to see my cute 1902 Seattle home be torn apart and emptied out. Claire and I have lived in our house for the past 2 years, and I am still in disbelief of just how MUCH stuff we have accumulated! Every time I thought we would be done cleaning out a room, BAM, there would be another cabinet full of more stuff! I had serious doubts about ever seeing the end of packing! We are getting our Penske truck tomorrow morning, and loading everything up and will be starting our two-day trip to Cali Saturday morning. Please pray for a safe and quick ride down for us! I will try to update more often to let you all know how the move went and how LA is... and don't worry, I'll still be rocking the Northface even down in So Cal :)

The pictures below bring tears to my eyes... red door house, I will miss you (and having you as a roomie, CHE)!!
