Another reason I love California.

I am currently laying on the beach (iPhone secure in a ziplock bag, haha) and all the sudden I notice a fin about 50 feet out in the water. Then I notice another, and another. Three dolphins showing off for everyone super close to shore.

I wish I had my real camera. It was SO cool.

I live where I live. Especially on days like this.

Californiaversary

We have officially been living in California for one year.

Over the past year, we have:

Lived with some awesome people (and dogs). I can't even begin to express how thankful we are for my aunt and uncle opening up their home to us. I have no idea what we would have done without them. We had some pretty great times and I think Andrew formed a really great bond with my uncle.

Spent a lot of time with my family. From BBQs to birthdays, we've caught up on missed time.

Got engaged! Pretty amazing, for obvious reasons. I cannot wait to marry my best friend and partner in crime.

Moved into our own apartment. Pretty neat because I had never lived on my own in California. I love the little home we have built.

Celebrated Dexter's first birthday. I can't picture our lives without him anymore. He brings so much entertainment to our lives. I love that little boy like crazy :)

Bought a new car. Which would be a lot more exciting if we didn't just drop $1200 on repairs this afternoon. We do love the little silver thing, though.

Started careers! Pretty huge. Andy as a Metallurgist and myself as a Legal Secretary.

Made multiple drives up and down the coast of California. Nothing better than a sunny drive down PCH!

Made new friends and spent time with old ones.

Gone to quite a few Angels/Tigers baseball games. A split house, indeed.

Visited every store that was nowhere near in Michigan. And lots of malls! I've spent much money since our return!


Sometimes life isn't always rainbows, but I can't say I have a ton to complain about.
