Arriving in San Diego!

While at the dude ranch, Will discovered we were only 6 hours from San Diego. So once we got up on Tuesday morning, we headed straight to our new home! We got there late Tuesday night. We were both very excited as we had never seen our apartment before we walked into it. We had seen the layout in a different apartment while apartment hunting, but never our actual unit. It was exactly as we had pictured and we were very happy with it. Well, minus the fact we didn't have any power. Since we arrived earlier then expected, we were powerless for the night. Of course, with Will being an Eagle Scout, he pulled a huge bag of candles out of no where and we were in business shortly. We set up the bedroom, unpacked a few small things, and then crashed immediately. The next morning we continued to unpack some more and then started our hunt for a new TV and a new couch set. We found both on Craig's List. We got a HUGE 52" flat screen LCD Samsung TV for pretty cheap! The guy bought it while remodeling his office, but then never used it. So we were pretty pumped for that find. It's only 5 months old and works perfectly!! Our next find was our awesome couch, chair, ottoman set. It was kind of the same deal here, a couple bought it, but realized it was too big for their tiny space and wanted to get a new set. This once again confirms why I love Craig's List.

Other then that, we've obviously been busy searching for jobs and exploring our new town. We live in an area called Gaslamp Quarter. It's full of bars and restaurants. It's a newly built up section of downtown so everything is brand new, clean, and really nice. Even our apartment building is relatively new. Oh yeah, and it's the only one in the Gaslamp that has a pool! We were pretty pumped about that.

Since we've been here, we've done a lot of fun things including, watching football with Mark (Will's friend from college), hanging out with Yael (my friend from college -- she was here for a conference) and going to dinner with her friends in Ocean Beach, going to the "Monster Bash" in Gaslamp for Halloween, going to the top of the Hyatt hotel to see the sunset, etc.

I guess that's all for now! Thanks for reading our blog!!
