Walk Down Hollywood Boulevard

On Monday we visited the Hollywood area of LA.  We walked around the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre, looked at all the stars on Hollywood Boulevard, and even went in a wax museum!  Here are some pictures of our celebrity-filled afternoon!

First week in our new place!

We have now been in our new apartment one week, and we have been pretty productive!  All of our boxes are unpacked, our furniture is in place, and almost all our walls have things hung up.  After a few more finishing touches, we will put up a grand tour so you can get a better idea about our new house.  It took a few days to get the internet up and running (and a very frustrating visit from an AT&T technician), but now that we have it, we are diligently looking for jobs anywhere and everywhere.

But also, since we have a lot of time on our hands and honestly don't have anything else better to do, we have been having fun, too :)  We made the drive down to Anaheim (30-40 min.) on Tuesday and got to walk around Downtown Disney for a few hours.  We spent a good amount of time in the Lego store, of course...





And we had to look at everything in the World of Disney store!  There were lots of other cool stores that we poked around in, too.  It was a little sad to not be able to go in the parks, but we still had fun.


Look at that girl's HUGE baby bump!  Are you sure she's only 21 weeks pregnant?!
We took advantage of our complex's pool and went swimming a couple days ago.  Yesterday we walked around Loyola Marymount University to get a little better acquainted with the campus.  It's no BYU, but it looks like a really nice campus.
