For Addi

Thinking of Addi today...we love you and miss you feel better soon! We can't wait for you to come visit California!

A lovely day at the DMV

Yesterday Nick and I spend a LOVELY afternoon at the DMV registering our cars and applying for California licenses (yay!) Little did we know we had to retake the written portion of the drivers test. Now, In Colorado the questions are pretty basic on the written test for example: "When approaching train tracks do you A. Stop your car on the tracks and make choo choo sounds B. Pass over slowly and throw a penny on the tracks for good luck C. Proceed with caution and stop look and listen in both directions." California's written test is a little more complicated then that...At the end of the day one of us came out on top.... 

Luckily you can take the test more than once, so it looks like I will have to make another trip to the DMV and wait with all the "other" 16 year olds to find out if I get that California drivers license that I have been dreaming about. Wish me luck.

New Car!

Hi everyone, Nick and I have been keeping very busy with work and play of course. Nick was the top sales person for the Mens Wearhouse in San Diego this week....so I would say he is doing pretty well out here. I have been assisting photo-shoots pretty regularly and was asked to possibly take on a more full time position. Some exciting news is that Nick and I bought a car this weekend!!! The Cabrio is still alive and well but Nick needed a car to cruise the coast in so we bought this Dodge intrepid for  great price and its in excellent shape. We spent tonight at Aunt Loopy and Uncle Russ's house (that is a picture of their koi fish pond in their backyard)  and had such a good dinner and then we drove down to Pacific Beach to watch our favorite reggae band "The Devastators" Play. All is well here and Pibbs seems to be enjoying the view just as much as we are. xoxo

Cali Love

Here are some rad pictures (that Lynnie took) of Jessie and Brett who are two people who have been so helpful to us before and after our move and have made the whole experience amazing. Lynnie has known Jessie since they were 3 years old and has spent many many summers with her playing barbies and getting sandy on the beach. They are both such great people and we are so happy to have them in our life! Jessie and Brett are getting married in Nov in Old Town San Deigo and we can't wait to be a part of it all! Love you guys.

He's Back!!!

Too hot for hair

Ladies and Gentleman its been 5 months since Nicks last haircut and it is officially now....too hot for hair. Hope you Colorado folk are enjoying the snow!

Up and away

Just saw this right near our house on the way home from picking Nick up from work...the balloon reads "California Dreamin"....what a weird day.

A silver Wishbone

Today while Nick was at work I went down to Solana beach to the design district and walked into a store where I saw a pewter coated wishbone, I thought it was perfect considering the circumstances with Pibbs before me moved out to Cali.  I bought the wishbone as a keepsake reminder of that horrible day but it also brought me a little luck as well. I walked into a photography studio and actually found a job as an assistant to the national photographer of the year and one of San Diegos top 10 photographers.  Tomorrow night we are photographing a woman and her three dogs (could it be any more perfect for me!?) The world sure does work in mysterious ways. Hope you are all keeping warm in CO! xo

We heard its snowing in Colorado....

If you Colorado folk need a break from all that snow you can always come visit us...it was 75 and gorgeous today! Sorry for the Lack of updates but Nick has gone back to work and I have been searching non-stop to find one! Today Nick finally had a day off (which means I did too!) so we grabbed some breakfast from a place called Swamis and since we are both eating healthy these days we ordered an Acai bowl which is just a smoothie in a bowl with fruit, granola, and bee pollen...its pretty delicious but very filling. After that I layed around on the beach while Nick ran around with his soccer ball (he is playing in a league on monday nights now!)  Tonight we made a dinner and rushed down to the beach in time to have a mini picnic and watch the sunset it was beautiful of course and we even saw some dolphins! Pibbs is doing great and has met a new friend named Gunther who lives in our apartment complex...Gunther is a French Bulldog so you can imagine all the snorting noises that come out of the two of them when they play. We miss all of tons! xo

Easter on the beach

Happy Easter everyone! Nick and I went for a long walk this morning with Pibbs and then laid around most of the day at the beach. Hope all of you had a great easter and check out the pictures of Nick actually getting in the ocean...the water is FREEZING this time of year. xoxo

Nice View

I (Lynnie) spent the past couple of days nannying at a house on the beach and although it was a beautiful place with an amazing view it was hard work taking care of FIVE kids between the ages of 1 and 10 who were running around on the beach. It made me miss Jacey and Sammie back in Colorado even more! Love ya guys! Nick and I also went to watch Becca (Nicks sister) play softball at USD today and had a great time...it was so good to see her. We will put up some pictures after tomorrows games. Hope you are all doings great and we miss you.

And now for your viewing pleasure....

Please be advised the the following video is disturbing and involves huge and ridiculous bites of food and you may never want to eat a cheeseburger again. Having said that, it's feels good to be in our mid twenties and still find videos like this hilarious and we hope it makes you laugh as well. We have been very busy hanging out with Chad (Nicks bet friend) and In and Out burger was a must do on the list! Love you and miss you all! P.s. if you come to visit us in Cali and mention this video we will buy you a burger! xoxo

Doggie Beach

Here is a little video of Pibbers new life here! Miss you guys! P.s. The music to the video is by a band called The Phermones and they are friends of mine! We saw them play the other night in Pacific Beach and they were amazing as always!

Lazy Days

So far so good! We have been having such a great time on our mini vacation and taking the pup to dog beach a ton. Here are a couple more pictures of our life out here and our little apartment. We picked up Nicks best friend Chad from the airport today and we are driving down the coast to Pacific Beach for a concert tonight and another one tomorrow so we will have some more fun pictures soon. Miss all of tons!

Mini Movie

Here is a little video of our day today and hopefully all the days that follow...

We found CALIFORNIA!

We made it! We arrived at our apartment at around 3 today and both agree that its completely perfect for us and we love everything about it! We quickly unloaded the truck with the help of Loopy (Lynnies aunt), Jessie (Lynnies best friend), and Brett (Jessies fiance) while uncle Russ tended to the wild bulldog. After we packed up we headed down the road and drove along the coast to a dog park so that Pibbs could run free after being so good in the truck for three days....we think he loves this place already. We also had a much needed home cooked meal at Aunt Loopys house. We can honestly say that this just "feels" like home and we can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring for us. Miss you all and we will write soon....if we aren't at the beach 

too much! xoxo   

P.s. We will upload more photos tomorrow we are just too sleepy to do it tonight!
