EARTHQUAKE

I know I have born and raised in California, but I have never felt an earthquake! Not that I remember anyways( I was two for the 1989 one). Honestly I was scared to death, it's such a powerless feeing and you don't know how much it will shake or when it will stop. This brings a whole new meaning to me when I read in the scriptures that the Lord causes the earth to shake, its scary! This one was in L.A. it was 5.8, but for us here in Irvine it was only a few seconds and not very bad. I called Greg right away, once my service was working, and he calmed me down. Anyway I am a true Californian now.

Coming to a close

The time has flown by so fast here! I'm happy to say the Greg still loves his internship we'll see in a few weeks if we are coming back here. They might make him an offer or we might get a better one somewhere else. Anyway I finish school next wednesday and I have to say five week sessions are intense, I don't want to do it again! I should be studying right now for finals, but I can't focus for the life of me, so what else better to do then blog ; ) I have to put in my two weeks notice at wells Fargo tomorrow and I'm a little sad, only because I like the branch there very much (sounds like a chrurch term Huh?) But in case I had any doubt about if I liked being a bank teller or not it's confimed I don't. After school my agenda will be as follows: part-time work, Packing slowly and not very much stuf, and then I'm hitting the pool and the workout room as much as I can. This is so i can be ready for vacation, sounds like I'm getting a head start; Greg and I are also trying to become tennis pros. It's never going to happen for me. Anyway I hate writing too much and I still can't post pictures! When I get back to school be prepared for many. For now I'm waiting for our stay here in Irvine to come to a close and vacation to start.

Wow

The top is me in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The next is Greg doing a little surffing on the ship.

Well, its been awhile, I haven't even been that busy, just working and doing random school stuff. I had to register for a random music class at BYU to keep enrollment status and I'm done training and working now. I also started class at UC Irvine and I'm interested to see how it will go. Anyway I decided to post some old pictures of our honeymoon its been a year already! Greg and I like it down here, except when it's really HOT! Those are wow's more later.

JOB

Well I finally got a job at Wells Fargo! That's it Yeah.

IRVINE

Well I've been down here in Irvine for almost two weeks and I still don't have a job. I love the area and our place; I can go right down to the pool anytime I want and get all the sun I was deprived of from Rexburg! What I love is that Greg loves it here and he is so excited about his internship. I am so lucky to have such a dedicated husband. It was his birthday yesterday and we had a fun time, celebrating. Poor him though he only had me to celebrate with. Anyway he is my amazing husband and I love him. He even told me that I could just take it easy right now! Don't worry though because I am getting a JOB hopefully. Anyway that should be the title of my next post, cross your fingers.

New York

So whats with all the New York pictures? Well I decided to go back in time to right after we were married and moved straight to New York. Now you can stop wondering what the heck we did there. We really did have a fun time and who knows maybe we might go back!

Oh No!

This is Josh he is so cute!

This is Madaline(left) and Ella (right). Greg and I adopted them for a family picture.

This is the Lukester, Love this little Boy!

I have the cutest nieces and nephews in the world. I was able to spend two weeks with my nephew Luke and he is so sweet. My favorite little sayings of his were "oh no!" with the hands on the face and "oh sorry Auntie nana". When he figured out that my name was Darlene and not Hannah he wouldn't call me auntie just Darlene (he is very formal). Anyway the next cutest thing was when Hannah Rae saw Luke and they were so happy they would cry for each other from their cribs. Josh was just adorable and so fun to hold and feed and even change his dipper. My niece on the Swapp side, Ella, I'm happy to say has happy memories of me. I don't see them very often, but my mother-in-law has just informed me that she loves horses and she just bought one and named it appaloosa Darlene. I'm very much honored. It was such a fun two weeks with my family and very busy. I was assistant wedding helper to Ambyr for Heather's wedding and everything was beautiful. Once Sunday came around I happy it was over and to be with my sweetie pie again. I took some great pictures, but I'm sad because we just moved and I forgot my camera cord to download all these sweet pictures I took so it might take a while before they get posted... I hate moving!
