My life in Los Angeles

So I'm going to try to keep this brief considering I am exhausted for some reason. Our first week of work was a little slow and kind of boring. Kelly Wearstler was out of town with 2 other head designers, so we were basically bobbing around and asking anyone in the office if they needed help with anything. But this week she's back and it was quite busy. We have learned a lot. We have gotten to go to cool antique stores and see furniture I don't think I'll ever be able to afford, learn about the business side of design like purchase orders, invoices, schedules, etc., and we have learned a lot about the design process and working with clients.

So far we have had lots of fun too. Our place is little, but cozy. Other than the one cockroach experience we had, it has not been so bad. Its a guest house behind this lady's house and this past week they have been filming a movie at the house. Its been crazy. So many trailers and equipment, lights, cameras, and action! It was kind of fun to watch and see, but a little hectic considering we couldn't even park in our driveway or anywhere near our house as a matter of fact. Our landlord is really nice, her name is Stacy and she's an artist/make up artist.

We have done a variety of things for fun. We have gone to the beach, hiked up to the hollywood sign, done some shopping (SOME...for Mike's sake), went to a single's ward dance (yeah, we go to a single's ward for Kylee's sake), and we are just loving soaking up the sun. Oh, and don't let me forget we went to GLEE LIVE!!!!! It was amazing!!! Best money I've ever paid! They were so much better live and I didn't think it was possible.

Here are some pictures of our adventures so far!
