If you're reading this you must be interested in what Jordan and I are up to...so, I'll give you a quick update on our lives since the wedding. We got married on July 29th, 2007 - over six months ago!! It was such a fun day, to say the least. Since then, we have moved to Los Angeles and are actually in the process of moving yet again - this time to Santa Monica. We moved down to SoCal for a couple of reasons: Jordan was offered a job working with the Tesh Media Group doing photography and media design-type stuff, I wanted to work with inner-city kids, and we figured it would be a good time for us to get away from the Northwest for a while and learn to live completely on our own - relying on each other and God for everything. Needless to say, it's been quite the adventure!
I haven't yet been able to find a job working with inner-city kids, but I do have a few leads on jobs in the field, so that could change in the near future. In the meantime, I've had a few different office jobs working through a temp agency. In September I started working for Farmer's Insurance, doing all kinds of administrative work. That job ended in December, which was perfect because I was able to take two weeks off between jobs to go to Idaho for Christmas and to Tucson for my cousin's wedding! It was so fun, and since getting back to LA, I've been working at Los Angeles Center Studios as their receptionist. It's a pretty great job, and now that the writer's strike is over, things are really picking up for me. Also, a bonus of the job is that I get to see movie stars...not too many have walked past my desk as of yet (due to the fact that the writers weren't writing and therefore the actors couldn't act), but I expect in the very near future I'll be seeing lots of them. Who woulda thought I'd ever be truly affected by the writer's strike? Who woulda thought I'd work in the movie business. It's craziness!!
So, other than work, we like to go to the beach on the weekends, hang out with Gib and Janee (Jordan's sister and brother-in-law) who live in Hollywood, and generally just relax. It's definitely weird working a standart Monday thru Friday job - we find ourselves being extremely boring/tired during the week, and because of that we dont do much of anything. It's not quite the college life, but we're adjusting to it.
Also, like I said, we're moving to Santa Monica next weekend, which is just about the most exciting thing ever! We will still be living in a tiny one bedroom apartment, but we'll be so close to the beach that it really doesn't matter. Plus, we really don't have that much stuff, so a small apartment is just right for us. I'll put pics up once we get settled...
