A New Start

Wow..I am about as bad at this blogging thing as I am at keeping journals. But I promise to do better! So much has happened since our last post! For starters, I finished summer term classes and Daniel had to say goodbye to framing houses. He was able to have that job for several summers with his brothers and loved every second of it...except being on the roof in the blazing heat. But overall it was good for him :)

The next big event (and much bigger than the previous) was Halie and Ryans Wedding! It had been a long time coming for these two and their wedding was beautiful. Halie of course looked gorgeous as usual, and Ryan looked okay too :) We are so happy to finally have Ryan in the family and Daniel is excited to have another brother in law. No more asterisk! Here are a few pictures of their day.

The biggest event that happened for us this summer was of course moving to California. We got here about a week and a half ago and each day we have learned more and more about this interesting city called Los Angeles. It seems like every person that we spoke to before coming out here said that the area we will be living in will be "interesting". That made us a little nervous, but we have learned that "interesting" is the perfect way to describe it. We are right by Venice Beach..and the freeway :) Ha. Things are different but I think this change will be good for us. We have been able to spend the last 10 days just hanging out together until Daniel started school today. It's been really nice to be together before he gets so busy. AND I started applying for jobs yesterday and got an interview scheduled today! Life is changing but life is wonderful. I'm so proud of Daniel for all that he has accomplished and will accomplish. He's worked really hard to be here and I'm glad I get to be a part of it! We will see if I am still this positive once he gets reallllly busy :) Check out our teeny tiny new place!

This is our living room..not really decorated yet but we're workin on it!

Our bitesize kitchen..surprisingly makes cooking a lot easier when you just have to turn around to get whatever you want :)

The Pool outside of our apartment..it would be cooler if it was more than 3 feet deep!
