BEACH Weekend.

FINALLY. Saturday. With both Patrick and I working full time (my first week was this past week) we have not had the time to do things that we like. So...we decided to go to the beach this weekend and get some sun. It was 80 degrees today and sunny! Patrick was so excited to go surfing and I wanted to lay in the sun and read my book. This is how beautiful it was. Seriously, who WOULDN'T want to live in California and go to the beach when it is snowing back home in Utah??

Yeah it was really nice and relaxing. Patrick spent most of the time out surfing and this is what I was doing...reading my book and eating a little lunch I packed for both of us...which actually was already eaten before taking this picture.

                                

I hope that we have MANY more weekends with this kind of weather. It really is so beautiful here. I am grateful that Patrick and I had the opportunity to live here in California. Irvine is beautiful, the beach is so close, the weather is nice...PLUS we both were able to find jobs. Speaking of jobs...I did just finish my first week at the job I received. I work at the Opthamology Institute of Orange County. After my first week I have become EXHAUSTED with everything I need to learn and remember, however, it will come with time. Patrick is on his third week now and is starting to study for his 4 CPA exams he needs to take.

Anyway California is great so far! We love it. It was a big change, but things are slowly beginning to get easier as the days go on. Hopefully each weekend is just as exciting as the last!

Wedding / One Month!

On to California!

After our beautiful wedding on September 15, 2012 in the Bountiful temple we had a wonderful reception at my house. The wedding day cruised by...which leads into our cruise the next week to Cabo San Lucas and Puerta Vallarta. We went parasailing, scuba diving, side shopping, zip lining, and relaxed both on the beach as well as on the boat with all you can eat food. Once the cruise was over, we then headed to a week in Hawaii. There we went scuba diving, surfing for a day, Dole plantation, found a delicious place called "Scoop of Paradise," found out how DELICIOUS acai berry is, and stayed at the Turtle Bay Resort in O'ahu. It was a wonderful two weeks! We flew in the Saturday morning, had another reception in Las Vegas and are now through with the wedding.

Now...today is our one month anniversary! It has been so great moving to Irvine and getting all settled. I love it here.

Weather? BEAUTIFUL. People? Nicest people around. I cannot wait to see what else is in store for us! However, he is on a business trip until Friday. So maybe when he gets back we can take our trip to the beach which is about 15 to 20 minutes away (:
