Guinness Book of World Records

for the LONGEST post EVER! Here it comes ...

Before we left Walnut Creek, we were super sad cause we worked so hard to pack, and didn't have time to go to the city one more time.
We might not have seen the city, but I did get to say goodbye to my school and all the wonderful people there, and I did get to hang out with friends:



My teaching buddies took me to dinner, and my church friends took me to lunch. That was a great day. I am totally going to miss them!!!

We packed up our truck, we said goodbye to our apartment.



Here is our truck on the inside and out! 
I can't believe Tyson drove that all the way down! This is what I stared at the whole time 6 hours. Goodbye Walnut Creek!

Hello Huntington Beach!
When we got to Huntington Beach, the Scotts and the Polsons were there to help us unload the truck, and because my friend Lisa had her kids, she unpacked all my kitchen boxes and put the stuff away!

On the main beach with the pier behind us.
Taking our Sunday walk on the beach.
Sunset in Huntington with Ruby's shakes. (mmm)

Here is our apartment. Everyone keeps asking us if we are unpacked. We were all unpacked 3 days after we got to HB. I mean, pictures on the walls and everything. Are we just super fast or what? 

The living room


The dining room



The kitchen with the avocado countertops. (Which I love!)

The twins room.



Our bedroom.



and the bathroom... nothing fancy but if I give you a tour, I give you the whole tour, that's how I roll.



We had to say goodbye to lots of great friends, but we were reunited with some just as great friends.Lisa with all our kids in one shopping cart. People were giving her weird looks!
The babes.
Me and Amy!

We got our Disneyland passes, and we are taking advantage of going. We have been three times and have already paid for our passes! What a great deal!

Cinderella's Castle
Outside Tarzan's Treehouse with Lisa (friend from our first married ward in Provo and Lauren who is 2 weeks younger than the twins. Merrick has a new girlfriend... sorry Kate!)
 It was super hot, and Berkleigh was feelin' the heat!
Back Car: Jason, Emily, Lisa and Lauren 
Front Car: Tyson, half of Merrick, and not pictured: Jen and Berkleigh

The yummy free Mission tortilla, (MASECA!) in California Adventure.

Pirate hat that came in a McDonald's happy meal. Berkleigh wore it the whole night.

How cute is Emily on this Bug's Life ride! She seriously thinks D-land is the happiest place on earth.

We miss our old ward, friends, and northern california, but we are really happy to be here in Huntington Beach.

Mathew agrees. DW is a magical place. So fun! I love your beach pictures too. And you guys are amazing to be totally unpacked in 3days. Did the packing for dummies help or are you just naturally an amazing packer upper? Love ya!
