Ok after a trip to IKEA, one to Wal-Mart, and multiple trips to Target I think I'm finally settled in. It's such a relief to have unpacked and found some place to square away my random stuff. Surprisingly, the whole move process has kept me pretty occupied this past week. Since Christina was so kind to make the drive to Cali with me, the weekend and first half of the week flew by. We were blessed with meeting up with friends along the way - thanks to Jasmine and Norm who let us stay with them in Phoenix, as well as my B-school friend a place to stay in L.A. Plus, it was nice to see a lot of old friends over coffee in L.A. One highlight for me was chasing down a place I saw on the Food Network. BLD was quoted in an episode of the best thing I ever ate. We ordered the featured blueberry ricotta pancakes along with a side of Spanish chorizo homefries, and I thought it was pretty awesome and delicious. So good! The second half of the week was also busy with visitors. I happened to have multiple friends come into town for random reasons and was able to meet up with them between the unpacking/building furniture process.
Hopefully this second week will go by as nicely. On the docket for the week - getting a Cali driver's license and registering my car. Not THAT much. So I'm hoping to squeeze in a trip to In n' Out too. Yes, I know I'm being extremely ambitious but hopefully it will work out ;)
