For my mom

Last weekend Ryan, Eliza and I took a trip down to LA county to look for an apartment. While there we found one that we both really liked and luckily we got it. My mom has been begging to see some pictures so here they are.

The Living Room, or part of it

After looking at several apartments and turning in several applications, Ryan wanted to show me his mission. It was great day driving all over South Bay. We went to this cool Korean park, where a bell, given as a token of friendship from South Korea to the US, is displayed. The park also overlooks the ocean and Catalina Island.


Eliza loved chasing the seagulls.

We also drove through the Palos Verdes Hills, Beverly Hills, Hollywood and visited the Los Angeles Temple. It was a great weekend.

Yesterday our ward held a swap meet. It is basically a chance to get rid of all your DI items and things you just don't want and to grab anything you do want...for free. I was excited for this years swap meet because I had a lot of things to get rid of due to moving soon. I wasn't expecting to pick anything up. Then I fell in love.



It is small and needs some work but I am excited to learn the ways of the master and follow in my mother's footsteps while refinishing it.

And for kicks, here is a quick video of Eliza chasing the seagulls. You can hear her squeal with excitement.
