We're here. Yes, we're here. In Michigan. Pretty crazy stuff. I must say I wanted to start this blog a long time ago but you know how things go. I seem to want things more than I do them sometimes. We've really enjoyed the time that we've had here but there is a long story behind it.
Here goes:
When Taylor decided Michigan, I was thrilled. All I knew about Ann Arbor was that it was the Orange County of MI. I was even more excited that I would be leaving my emotionally draining job! The most common phrase we heard was, "You know it's cold in Michigan." I'm really not one to swear, actually I never do. But after the umpteenth time...I wanted to yell back, "Yeah, no (blank) Sherlock!" But of course I would never do that so mostly I would tell people that everything was going to be fine! Why do people tell you all the bad stuff first? Who knows! Well after I quit my job, (yay!) I had 2 weeks to pack! Yeah, talk about crazy!
I will NOT miss our old apartment (no dishwasher or A.C.) but I will for sure miss Irvine. There were always such nice breezes that came through our window at night. I did totally fine packing away everything and throwing out what we didn't want. My mom even came to help! It was really nice to have the extra hand. We got moooost everything done. Not quite though. We knew we would have the impending Carlsbad trip to tend to but there wasn't really a lot of time to worry or think about it. It seemed like everyone and their mother wanted to see us before we left. Why didn't they want to visit before when they knew we were moving soon? Tsk tsk.
In between all the chaos, Taylor graduated. Haha, did I mention how proud I am of him? He received his B.S. in Chemistry. He's what I call a Smaaarteeee. Not to mention, good lookin'!
That day was surprisingly LONGER than our wedding day! His parents had a wonderful party for him the morning of. The food was fabulous! His mother is so sweet. Since I didn't get my chocolate fountain at the wedding, she got one specifically for me. I love her so much!
This is just the dessert table! Complete with rice krispies, fruit, marshmallows, etc. Such a fun and delicious add to the party. This is my brother in law, Greg. I think he enjoyed it!
The day after Taylor graduated, we were off to Carlsbad. It just happened to be our 1 year anniversary! Everyone we know doesn't really understand the whole beach camping thing, but its our own little paradise.
This was under our really cool Costco beach umbrella. What a way to celebrate the year together.
And that was it! We said our goodbyes, then we were off. We had a going away party, but those pictures are currently with my dad who is not so tech savy. Someday I will post those.
So that was June in a nutshell. We're here now, and I will be posting more. But til then, tata!
