its about time.

i'd say its about time for a blog update yes? a few have requested and i have been very much a slacker.

i'd love to give a huge post with all that has been happening the past 2 weeks since i got to la, but i'm not sure how thorough i'm going to be. i think i'll break it out into sections and lists.

the trip.

took 4 days.

drove to chicago and stayed with josh and hannah (and suzy and ezra were visiting as well)

drove to nebraska and stayed with suzy's husband caleb at their house in lincoln.

drove all across nebraska to denver (nebraska is green, but flat and boring).

stayed with greg ruby and emily (his wife). went to a picnic for one of their friends in their small group.

drove to vegas. a long drive! colorado was gorgeous. i've been before, but just loved the drive through the mountains. utah was barren and LONG, but at times quite beautiful in its own way.

got to vegas at night. that was the best part of vegas, driving in at night and seeing all i mean ALL the lights!

walked around vegas... very tired, and not the most fun when you are alone. stayed at circus circus in one of their cheapest rooms, it was much needed though!

drove across the mojave into pasadena, it was a HOT day!!

i arrived.

the new job.

i like it.

i don't do the most glamorous things every day. but its fun. i work with some really cool people and am somehow or another involved in the creation of really great imagery. part of my job requires me to drive around la delivering photo equipment to and from different studios. so i get to see some fun parts of la and meet some great people. we supply digital equipment and experience for high fashion photoshoots. i'm sure i'll have better stories about that soon. but work has been good and i've worked more than planned so i have yet to have to get a second job (ie: starbucks). i also have had leads on some freelance work as well as have been scheduled to work as a second assistant for a guy in town doing some shoot for disney. i'll be able to fill in more on that later.

the apartment hunt.

this is the worst thing ever. its like a full time job out here trying to find that right place that fits your budget and is close enough to your primary work place. i have had a heck of a time and have been running across a lot of "FAKE" craigslist postings. its quite disappointing cause they get your hopes up and then you are let down by their attempts to scam you out of something. blah. but its looking up. keep this in your prayers! i think i may have some good leads today that i'm going to go check out after work (which is at 11am since i came in at 5 am today! :/ )

ok. thats a pretty good post wouldn't you say. i'll try to do better and give you some fun tidbits about la life rather than rundowns of what i'm doing with work etc!
