Life for the last six months!

So I totally thought that I would be better at blogging when I moved.....I'm not! Obviously! So here ya go.... This is the last six months of our life, which has been extremely eventful. I never thought this is where I would be at this point in my life or ever for that matter. I thought I would be a Utah home body forever. However, this has probably been the best experience of our married life. We have become so close and so dependent on each other. We have had to break out of our comfort zone and realize what life is like away from home. We have met amazing people! Josh has really enjoyed learning about law, but the school part of that has been a challenge for sure. He has always been an extremely hard worker but he has never worked harder in his life than he is right now. He literally does school sun up to sun down. We have one car so I drop him off every morning at seven and head up to work. I work at a dermatology office in Encinitas which is about 30 minutes from home. It has been a challenge for me but its gotten better & I enjoy it more every day. I pick Josh up around 4:30 on my way home unless he has a big project due or finals around the corner, then I don't see him until about 8:00. He is extremely dedicated to this decision and I'm so proud of him for putting all his energy into this to provide a good future for us.
Other than work, school, and our lack of funds we are having an absolute blast. We are falling more and more in love with San Diego everyday. It is so beautiful down here and the weather truly is perfect. We have become addicted to the beach. We have been playing beach volleyball almost every Saturday since September and we love it. If it was not so expensive to live down here I don't know if I would ever want to leave. If we don't have money we just go hang out at the beach or the dog park. We have to keep pinching ourselves to remind ourselves that we really do live here. So life as we know it is wonderful. We miss everyone like crazy and wish that we were just a little closer to home, but all in all I think this is where we are meant to be right now, and we are definitely not complaining. We love and miss everyone back home and you are all more than welcome to come play anytime!

Coronado Dog Beach

Coronado is the best. If I had the money I'm pretty sure we would live there. It has the cutest neighborhoods and it feels so laid back. The beach is beautiful. Dog beach is right down from the Coronado Hotel. Boston could not have been happier. He loves the beach as much as we do, but we have to coerce him into the water with treats. He likes the water he just doesn't like the waves. Our goal is to get him to swim ha ha. I think his favorite thing is chasing all the birds.













Barrister's Ball

Law schools have a ball or a "law prom" as we like to call it every spring. It was so fun to have an excuse to dress up fancy and go to a dance again. We had so much fun. We were able to pull out some of our country swing dancing moves that we haven't done in forever so that was awesome. It was in the ball room of this hotel down in mission bay which was beautiful. The only bummer was the food totally sucked and they didn't order enough so half the students didn't even get any. But we all had a great time. And I did my own updo which I was very proud of considering that I have never done an updo on myself. Thank you youtube for the tips ha ha.



Vegas

We of course were due for another Vegas trip and met Dustee, Andy, and Matt there in late January. Best night was Saturday when Dustee and I were at the same black jack table with the same people for over four hours! We didn't win much. It was up and down the whole time. But our money lasted a long time and that is the best. I just like to be able to play.



New Years!

We decided to have everyone over at my parents house for our new years party. Lots of fun memories in that house, and we had a great time.
