My body decided to give out on me and I've been pretty sick the last few days.
Luckily enough for me, my fortune from our quick dinner yesterday says I will be better soon.
On to more exciting things! Bryan had his first official day of work yesterday. I am so proud of him. I love that Bryan is the kind of person that makes things happen. He works so hard and I know this summer is going to be so great.
{Also, this was at like 5 am ... he looks so much better than I do early in the morning haha}
After work, Bry and I packed up our car, said goodbye to Lupe and Frank (Bry's sweet relatives that let us stay with them for a few days, they completely welcomed us and I am so happy that I feel like I have family out here) and drove to our apartment in El Cerrito.
We are in a little studio apartment on the first floor of a three story house. Our landlord and his wife live with their kids in the rest of the house, they are so wonderful, warm and welcoming. I can already tell that we are going to be happy here.
When I say we have a little studio apartment, I'm not kidding. It makes our apartment in Provo look like a mansion. But this apartment is so nice, clean and right next to the Bart station-- it's absolutely perfect.
{You can't really tell from this picture, but the bathroom is all porcelain, white and light blue. It's actually my favorite part-- it's so adorable. Plus, it smells like my Aunt Jenni's house, which is always a wonderful thing. For those who don't know, Jenni has flawless taste in clothes, furniture and food. And her house always smells like heaven. I want my house to smell like Jenni's. When I have a house. Haha}
Our bed and table. Somehow we managed to bring enough books and movies to actually use part of a shelf.
The sink. And pretty much the whole kitchen. It's so funny because I complained about having no counter space in my apartment in Provo, but boy- I will be so grateful to get back to that. :)
That's pretty much our entire apartment. Even though it's small, I love it. It's such a bright, happy space and I am so grateful we have such a nice place to be for the next two months.
On a different note, Courtney graduated high school today.
{Sorry for stealing this picture Ashley.}
Holy cow. I can't believe it. I am so proud. Graduating high school is a big deal. And on top of that, Courtney went through high school so gracefully. She is the kind of person that everyone loves. Courtney makes friends with everyone and always goes out of her way to make sure that everyone is included. I am so sad that I couldn't be there tonight, but I want everyone to know that I love this girl so much and I am so proud of who she is. Gosh. I get to be related to some pretty awesome people.
The cherry on top is that Courtney will be joining me at BYU this fall! At first, I was kind of bummed that I had an extra semester-- but when Court got in, all I could think about was how fun it is going to be to have a sister with me in school. Courtney and I haven't been in the same school since I was in 6th grade and I am completely looking forward to seeing her beautiful face on campus. BYU is such an amazing place that is so very dear to my heart and I am beyond excited to share that with a sister.
Anyway, I love my family-- especially my sisters-- so much and I love seeing good things happen to/for them. They deserve it and so much more. I love you guys!
