Week 1

So far, we have spent 7 days and nights in our new "castle along the beach"

Transforming this little room into our version of home; complete with three bookshelves, one futon, and miscellaneous pieces of wooden furniture to store our junk.

We ran into a little trouble the first two nights after our power sporadically decided not to work anymore. Unable to cook in our little designated kitchen spot, David transported the microwave to the section we like to call our "bedroom" to cook dinner.

On campus, I busied myself by attending class and taking advantage of all the school activities offering free food. A college student has to do what a college student has to do for food!

The weekend was spent in La Brea, Santa Clarita, and Venice. I had my first race as a LMU Lion and it went incredibly well, so I am definitely optimistically anticipating the rest of this semester. With my hubby, my new team, and my new home everything in life seems to be headed in the right direction. We got some new books to add to our growing collection. Only 3 dollars, OH THE JOYS OF FINDING A BARGAIN.

Some cake in our faces to kick of Labor Day weekend  and celebrate my best-friend's boyfriend's birthday.  That white ghostly thing is my face by the way, took two seconds to do. 

To the important stuff, lessons learned from this week:

1. Finding cheap produce is a learned skill
2. Never use your microwave on the same outlet as your kettle and your refrigerator
3. Do not fall for the "free range" or "organic" labels, they'll make you spend 4-5 dollars more than you should
4. Always be appreciative of the small things

Till next week,
