Oh, the life!


Well we are here, all moved in, just finishing unpacking. Drew has met and now has a good amount of hook ups for a job. Just waiting to hear when and if he will get one. I had my final interview yesterday now they just need to do a background check and drug test, hopefully I pass. We are getting use to California and it is very interesting. Its a different atmosphere down here. People are inherently rude. Well most people, there are a select few left who are nice just because. We went grocery shopping at a Wal-Mart down here and it is nothing like Wal-Mart in Utah. It was connected to a Mall, there was no fresh produce, and the whole place was just gross. So we decided to try and find a different place to go grocery shopping and we were successful. Driving out here is quite the experience, I will say I fit in quite well in this area, I am a led foot myself so I am loving the fast pace, but again everyone is crazy, traffic slows down everywhere, there are a million different freeways, and people just love to piss each other off. So that has been fun getting use to. Most of you know but my mother lives on a boat out here in California, that is where I stayed when I first got here, thanks mom! Well her husband also captains boats and so we have had the great pleasure of going sailing. What an experience. Every time we have gone the weather has been perfect and it is the most relaxing thing ever. Drew and I are even learning a little about sailing so that we can help out whenever we go. The weather out here is nice. It is really hot where we are living but out by the ocean it is so nice and the breeze off the ocean is spectacular. We have taken a lot of picture's of our apartment, sailing and I'm sure many other things so we will get those loaded and show everyone. We miss all of you and we hope all can come out and visit sometime. And we can't wait to hook up with those who are out here in Cali. Reunion Cali style. Anyway, we send our love from Cali and we'll talk again soon.

SARAH! Where are you?! Sounds like you're in the Van Nuys area by the sounds of your Wal-Mart, haha! If it's the one on Roscoe and Van Nuys then ... yeah... you want to stay away from that Wal-Mart for your own safety. Clark and I only go there if it's the LAST resort! Yikes!

Let me know where you're at and email me your ph. # so we can double date sometime!

hehe, every stereotype about California is so true!!

And there are no super walmarts -- people here have never heard of having a Wal mart or a Target that sells good product. Apparently the other grocery stores are fighting from letting them move in.

I'm glad you're having fun sailing and such! I admire you for driving around in L.A. I always make Adam drive!

Sounds like things are going well so far. No worries about this weekend. We will be doing this every weekend during football season and you are welcome to any or everyone you can come to. Next week the game starts around noon and we play UCLA so that could be kinda exciting. Just let me know your plans because I know there is always something to do here is Southern Cal so I won't be offended if you want to do something else.

Hopefully we will get together soon.

I'm glad things are going well for you! I hope the jobs come through. Yeah, I hate driving in CA. I get so scared that I'll be driven right off the road. I avoid it like the plague. It's not for the faint of heart.

sarah, I know exactly what you're talking about with the mean people and the bad wal-mart, it is the same in Florida. i heard you are in the same ward as some friends of ours from Florida, small world. They are a fun couple! you will have to hang out with them if you can, we love them!
