And So It Starts

Today is my 1 year anniversary of working at my very first job after collge.

It is just a few days from our 2 month wedding anniversary.

And it is the day we've made the decision to leave our apartment in Irvine, California, and move to Sunnyvale, CA (that's near San Fransisco - don't worry, I had to look it up too).  Justin got the news today that he's been offered a job there (technically in Palo Alto, right next door).  It's news we've been waiting for and a move we've known is coming so it's a huge relief to have a plan in the works.  But it's also slightly terrifying.  We're not particularly attached to Orange County but it's still been home for the last few years.  

Things I know about Sunnyvale so far:
  • We will probably end up in another too-expensive apartments since it is one of the few places we could move that is as insanely expensive as Irvine (except of course Palo Alto which is more...)
  • I know 4 people living there already.  That's 4 more than when I moved to Irvine.
  • Sunnyvale consistently ranks in the top 5 safest cities in the country (for it's size).  Irvine is considered the safest big city in the country.  Both were a step-up (with regards to safety) from our time spent in St. Louis, often ranked the most dangerous city in the country.
  • It's sunny?  Ok, so I don't know a lot.  Go look it up on Wikipedia if you want I guess.
So this is the story of us: 2 twenty-something newlyweds on an adventure.  We'll fill you in about what we do and what we learn along the way.  First up: finding a new apartment and our Southern California bucket list.
