California Living

This post will mainly be a bunch of pictures of what has happened since we moved to California 3 weeks ago.

We moved to California on a Wednesday. We picked up our very best friends, Jared & Chelsea, from LAX on Thursday for a fun-filled weekend.

We went to the Getty museum to look around. In true LA fashion J&C were welcomed with awful traffic!

On the tram up to the Getty.

The view of LA from the Getty

Look how awesome this bed/couch is! Watching movies would be awesome  in this thing.

I loved this chandelier 

B & I were all dressed up so that we could got to LA temple afterwords.

All of us at the Getty

 Six Flags Magic Mountain

Jet Stream I am the only one that wore white and I got pretty wet :/ Luckily it was hot and so it felt good.

Hanging out with the Green Lantern. We went to
Six Flags with Jared and Chelsea.

B is my super man. ;) J&C both got batman capes.

I only hang out with superheroes!

LA from the Griffith's Observatory

The weather has been really nice and kinda warm.

 Tessa Time

Sleepover with Tessa

We like to play dress-up

 Exotic Feline Breeding Compound

 The feline compound offers Twilight Tours 3 times a year. What that means is they open the compound from 5 to dark and open up normally closed areas. It is only for people 18+ and it was so much fun! We saw some of the leopards and jaguars that aren't normally on display. They gave the cats some boxes, phone-books, and melons to play with or eat.

I love the peacocks that are just wandering around!

The Snow Leopard was destroying the box he was given.

Caesar the tiger. His story was so sad. He was found in a drug bust down in LA. He was found drugged up in the bathroom and was completely malnourished. The vets really didn't believe that he would survive. He is now a permanent resident and the feline compound. He has lasting side effects from being drugged. He doesn't get along with other cats well enough to have play time with the other tigers. It was just really sad. But he was such a good poser for photos.   

The White tiger. Poor cat is super inbred and so they compared him to a mental retarded person. He drools a lot and has hip issues. 

Grace is still lazy as ever! She sleeps a lot!

And B has gone Rastafarian.

California is being good to us. B loves his internship and I am loving mine! I'm looking for a job and hopefully I find one.

Grace the Kitty

Back in October Brian and I adopted a cat, Grace. She has since become part of our family and I can't imagine life without her. She is pretty much like our child. She sleeps under the covers in bed with us. I think she was once an alley cat because she can't stay out of the trash can. She loved our neighbors almost as much as us. She likes to try and hunt birds from the window. She will eat ANYTHING! She stole a cookie from Brian one time.

She loves sleeping on pillows, mainly mine.

Happy First Anniversary!

Brian and I made it to our First Anniversary! This first year has been crazy, busy, and so much fun.  Our anniversary was actually on the 7th but I've been too busy to post.

Since this day Brian and I moved to Utah. We lived there from April until September. Brian sold pest control door-to-door (He hated it). I worked in the office for that same company. I met some amazing people but hated the job. We spent lots of time with Shanade, Andrew, and the kiddos.

In September we moved to Rexburg, ID. We finished another year at BYU-I. We hung out with our best friends. We made lots of friends. We played with our friends adorable children. Brian worked as an early morning custodial on campus. We adopted a cat, Grace, who is so cute and amazingly lazy.

In the last year we have grown so much as people and as a couple. We are learning and growing. I feel like our first year went by so quickly. It was hard learning to compromise with Brian but it was so worth it. I love Brian and I am so grateful for everything I learn from him. I'm grateful for all that he does. That he is a worth priesthood holder who keeps me doing what I should be doing.

I look forward to the eternities that I have with my hubby!
