Greetings Loved Ones!

Hey, hey, hey from California. Luckily, the harsh reality of "You're an adult who has no money, in a city of over a million people" hasn't hit me yet. I think it is beatiful down here in SoCal (hip I know). I love the beachcruisers, surf shops, old Spanish style houses, authentic Mexican food, the PCH, palm trees, constant 75 degree weather, docks, city lights, etc. I am at my Uncle's apartment in Long Beach right now. He lives across from a really pretty beach where they actually film a lot of CSI Miami. Cool eh? I know soon (probably when my Mom leaves) it won't feel like a vacation anymore. I haven't met my roommates yet, but I dropped my stuff off today. All my stuff fit in the closet which is great, but the room is a little small so I will be getting to know my roommate pretty well. I was hoping to be close to a park so I could talk walks and read, but I don't see one. There is a huge shopping plaza with Target, Walmart, Ross, Khol's, Starbuck's, and whatnot across the street but it isn't like I can go on a spending spree ha. As we knoe though, Walmart can be entertaining, so I might just go check out the harlequins and pretend you guys are with me. I officially move in on Tuesday and my Mom and I have a meeting with my admission advisor that day. On Monday my Uncle is taking us to Knott's for Morgan's birthday. Want to know something that cracks me up? even in a sundress or shorts and a t-shirt I am wearing more clothes than anyone on the street. Maybe it won't be too hard to spot other LDS people ha. I hope my ward is good. I hope I get alog with my roommates. I hope I get as much financial aid as possible for school. That is a lot of sitting, waiting, and wishing (Jack Johnson reference). I miss you guys. Text me or call whenever. I really don't feel that far away from you oddly. It looks a lot farther on a map I promise. I think this flog is working nicely. I can hear all of your voices through your writing, especially you Sarah ha. Keep writing, keep dreaming.
 Love Always, Moriah
