Catch Up!!!

I have really been a slacker about blogging, and in a minute you will see why! Jake was offered a job in California and we are now Californians. It has been a crazy month and a half, but we feel so blessed and so loved by our Heavenly Father. Everything has been working out!! We have been here just over a week and we have already found an apartment that we LOVE and I also got a job!! yay! :) Things couldn't have worked out better if we had planned them out. We are currently staying with Jake's brother J, his wife K, and their son M. We love it here and feel so lucky to have family close by. We can already tell that being in California is going to be a blast! Here is a recap of the last couple of weeks:

I GRADUATED!!!! YAY!!!! I am officially a Social Worker and I am so happy to be done with school. I am not sure whether or not I will work in the social work field in the future because California does not have a Bachelor's level license for social workers... I would have to go to grad school, and I am not really wanting to do that right now! Jake's parents came up for graduation and we all went out to eat afterwards and had a great time!

Jake is close to graduating and so he will continue his schooling online through his current University. He can't wait to be done! He and I are going to out a schedule together and get it done ASAP!

After graduation my parents took Jake and I (along with B) to Florida for a week! It was so much fun! We went to Universal Studios 3 days in a row, Black Hammock for gator huntin', and spent a day mini golfing, playing tennis, paddle boating, and swimming. We also did a puzzle, found a yummy ice cream shop, visited the temple, and watched movies. It was a fabulous vacation!

The whole reason we went to Florida is to see "Minion Mayhem". B LOVES Despicable Me. Going on the ride, meeting the minions, meeting Gru, and seeing Gru's house was a dream come true for him. He was in Heaven and happy as could be. It was fun to watch his reaction!

I loved The Wonderful World of Harry Potter. I had been before and was excited to go with Jake. I was nervous that he wouldn't enjoy it, but he did! You feel like you are in Hogsmeade with the attractions and the scenery and that impressed Jake. A new part of the Harry Potter park opened up just after we left... guess we have to go again!

We had lots of fun and enjoyed spending time with my parents and B before we moved to California! I think everyone's favorite part of the trip was the air boat and gator watching. It was neat to see alligators in their natural habitat, and actually holding one!! Their skin is a lot smoother than Jake and I thought it was going to be. If you haven't done it yet we definitely recommend it!
