We got here on February 7th and went straight to my Grandma and Grandpa Hunts house to meet up with my dad and sister. We had a nice visit then we headed to my Grandpa Hansen's house and ate some yummy tacos and visited with my Uncle Eric's family. After we said our goodbyes with excitement that we would see everyone soon, we headed to our hotel.
Sunday we drove around and explored our new home then decided to head to Balboa Island. This place is a huge part of my childhood memories! We would spend a week at Balboa every summer with all my aunts and uncles and cousins and my Grandma and Grandpa Hunt. It was so fun finally taking Michael, Olivia and Walter to Balboa. We enjoyed a Balboa bar and played on the beach until it was time to go to my Aunt Marsha's house for dinner.
Monday Michael started work and the kids and I explored and found us an apartment. We had to wait to move in because the movers told us it would take 2 weeks to get our stuff out of storage. By Wednesday the kids were tired of living in a hotel room so we headed to my parents house. We stayed there until Saturday then I came back to spend Valentines weekend with my love!
I told Michael that if I was going to leave my babies for the first time he better prepare something fun for us to do! I got brave and left my babies for the first time but knew they were in good hands. Michael drove me down to Laguna Beach for dinner and a walk on the beach to watch the sun set. It was so fun spending time with him and having a really good conversation without any distractions! We ate dinner at BJ's and it was right on the beach! After we headed back home but stopped at Ferrel's for some ice cream.
On Sunday we went to our new ward at church and met some awesome people. We are excited to be part of this new ward and make a lot more friends! After church we grabbed some in-n-out (for the third time in a week) and I headed back to my babies thinking we wouldn't be back for another week but I was wrong.
Monday Michael called me and told me the movers would be at our house the next day with all our stuff. I packed the kids up in the car and my mom followed me down. We spend all of Tuesday watching the guys haul all our stuff into our apartment and I tried to unpack a little. The next two days I unpacked my best and we slowly settled in.
The day we moved into our apartment was a huge day! Our house sold! It was a huge blessing! It was on the market for 10 days and we got our asking price! It was another confirmation that this was all suppose to happen and we are where we need to be right now. Michael also told me that he was leaving for the weekend to go to a conference in Arizona!
With the new distance of 2 hours and 45 minutes we headed straight to my mom and dad's house to play for the weekend! On the way home we stopped at my Grandpa Hunts house to wish him a Happy Birthday! It was fun spending time with my grandparents.
Last night we had dinner at the Mansfields house. They are like family! Allie had been my best friend since we were 3 and Kimmie is like a second mom. I'm so happy I can see them more often!
It has been so wonderful being here in California! I have a few things looking for places to go in our apartment and a couch and coffee table to sell but other than that we are all moved in. We have been to the beach twice in the last week and Olivia keeps asking to go back so we are going to go back this week! I am the newest owner of a Disneyland annual pass! We got to go with our friends last week to California Adventure for a few hours and this week we are going to Disneyland to show Rapunzel Olivia's Cinderella dress! Also! Michael is taking me to see WICKED on Wednesday!!!! We are 25-30 minutes away from everything! It's 75 degrees most of the time (it rained the last few days but it wasn't Idaho cold, so we enjoyed it and I got to wear my new Oakley sweatshirt!) and I see family all the time! I was happy in Idaho but now my happiness has been taken to a whole new level!! I'm excited for all our big adventures!
