Hello, Southern California!

Last night, Jason and I went to a birthday (slash) housewarming party for one of his friends. It was a good first social outing, and we had loads of fun.

The earlier part of the day was spent driving around Laguna Beach, looking for apartments. I would estimate that craigslist only represents about 30% of the rental market. Most of the places we’ve found were from scoping out neighborhoods and looking for “For Rent” signs. In a lot of ways that’s better because you can rule out a place quickly and get an idea of the different areas. Research, you know.

Bye bye, Northern California

I am finally down in Orange County as of last night. Our “relocation” process got a bit of late start so Jason had to fly down early while I took care of all the details of moving.

Buh bye, house.

It was the longest I’d been away from him since we’ve been married so that was weird and sucky.

This is our little duplex that I will miss so much. It was the first place Jason and I have lived that was big enough to have people over. It was charming, and I liked our neighbors.

Here’s a few photos of what transpired in the last week.
