Moving Back to Newport is Oh So Sweet
It's been a few months since I last posted and instead of going into reasons why, let's keep moving forward. One of the big events of the past couple of months is Jenn and I moving back to Newport Beach. When we moved to Irvine a year ago it was to make room for our new puppy which we of course ended up not keeping. So when our lease was coming up we looked back into coming back to our old apartment complex in Newport Beach. This time however instead of getting a 1 bedroom we upped it a bit and went to a 2nd bedroom unit. Now three weeks after we moved in we are absolutley loving it. Although the place is still a bit of a ways away from being fully furnished Jenn has done an amazing job putting it together.
Check out a few videos we have taken of our new place:

Today Is the Big Day, Time to Go Get the Keys to the Apartment!
So today marks a big day for Jenn and I, the day we go pick up our keys for our new apartment. As I mentioned in the last post, this is going to be our first place for Jenn and I not only as a couple but also as individuals. We both have never lived on our own, getting through school, and getting ourself into the workforce before taking the next step. Last week we went down to Newport Beach and found the apartment that we both loved, and today we are going to go get the keys. We don't really have any furniture to move in, or really much of anything, so after we take our initial tour of our new place we will be off to go shopping, starting with some groceries.
Our other stops today will most likely include Ikea, Crate and Barrel, and a few other furniture stores. Because we have the next two months free we are not in a huge rush to officially move in but are planning to stay down there for about half the week Friday-Sunday/Monday. Some of the big items we are looking to purchase is a bed, a couch bed (so I have somewhere to sleep until we get married), a dining room table, and an entertainment center. I will be taking both video/pictures today and should have a good walk through of our place following todays eventful happenings.
