Florida to California



Wow, it's been awhile since my last post. But, rather than dwelling on that, I'll just continue as if I never stopped.

Jeremy and I just returned from 10 days away in Disney World for a long-overdue honeymoon. We've been married 9 months already, but with a big trip to Malaysia this summer (which doesn't count as a honeymoon because we hung out with family all but 1 day) and having to work and finish school, this was the best time to do it. We had a great time meeting Disney characters and letting ourselves be swept away in the world of Disney.

And now we feel as though we're leaving our childhood behind and entering into the land of grown ups. In only 8 days, we pack up all our earthly belongings in a U-Haul, strap in our dog, and drive from Michigan to California to start at Fuller Seminary. (For those of you who are feeling confused, Seattle fell through due to economic and immigration issues, but it's a long story - if you want more details, just ask.) Jeremy and I have never seen the LA area, we have an apartment but we've never seen it, we don't know anyone there, we don't have jobs...it's a bit of a terrifying situation for two people who like to plan out big decisions and weigh options and know details! But, we're excited for the next step and excited that we get to do this together - and, of course, it will be nice to have some sun and blue sky (or maybe brown with pollution...) for a change. :)

So, since we re-entered the real world after the Magic Kingdom, we've been running around tying up loose ends and preparing for the big road trip (in a giant vehicle...towing a small vehicle...) California, here we come!

But for now - how about some more pictures from our trip to Disney?
