Life in LA

After living here for almost 2 months we finally took our first trip to the beach back in February. This is at Laguna beach. Yes, it was kind of cold, but we had a good time anyway.

The Los Angeles Temple
Only 3 miles from our house. Who would have thought that moving to California would bring us closer to a temple than living in Utah?

When my mom and Kevin came out to visit we decided to take a drive into Hollywood to see the sights! Hollywood Blvd is where it's at! All down the Blvd is the Star Walk. This is the front of the Kodak Theatre where the Oscar's are held every year.

Here's the back entrance to the Fox Studios Lot. Tyler used to drive by the big lots and dream that one day he would be able to work there. This truly is a dream come true for us. Although Tyler doesn't actually work on the Lot (he works in an office building in Santa Monica) he gets free access to all the perks of working there.


This is the outside of our building. We love the area! Tyler's work is 1 mile away in Santa Monica, so he doesn't have to battle traffic and gets to come home for lunch. Halle's school is 1 1/2 blocks away, so we get to walk to and from everyday. There is a great park 2 block away, and our church house is right across the street from the park. It's so great to be so close to everything. In LA to say something is far away means it's like 2 miles. Things are so packed together here that you can find pretty much anything you need in that 2 mile radius. We're on a bottom unit, so hopefully we'll stay pretty cool this summer. If not, the beach is only 2 miles away, so we could live there for most of the day.
