After San Diego I went up to Biola University, the college Chelsea goes to. I got to meet a lot of her friends and really enjoyed my time there. :) The campus was also a whoooole lot nicer than mine back home so I just enjoyed walking around and looking at all the pretty fountains and palm trees!

I also attended a rehearsal for a play Chel is in. I love love theater so it was really awesome watching them rehearse. Great job guys, I wish I could see the final product!

Chelsea is an art student and had a photography assignment she needed to plan. This involved scouting out a location so one evening we visited a very "Urban Outfitters" house and had fun photo-ing each other.

These are some she took me of. All the credit for these goes to Chels!

Hahaha my favorite. Whhhy am I such a dork?

Afterwards she took me to Berry Cool! Yummm.

Finally, I had brunch with the lovely Laura Gallo before leaving CA. We also did a little vintage shopping. She is like my new best friend. Laura, I love you so much!!

Aaaand this is me saying bye and I'll be back soon to post Arizona!

Aha! So I'm finally posting about my trip out here. As you all know, I primarily flew out for the wedding, but seeing that the week following the wedding was spring break from school I decided to stay out here. I'm in Arizona right now staying with my dear friend Andrea but before I post about that I need to cover my time in the great California!

But before I begin, since a couple of you said you missed my music player I've brought it back :) It doesn't automatically play and it's at the bottom of my blog now, but I plan on keeping it updated.

Ok, so while I was in California I stayed with the White family. Their daughter Chelsea and I grew up together and were very close in Middle-School to early High school before they moved out to San Diego. I had kept up with Chelsea, but never seen her CA house or the rest of her family since the move!

So, needless to say it was such a happy moment when I pulled up to their house and Java the dog came bounding down the driveway and I saw everybody again. AH it was a great moment. They are the best hosts ever. Mrs. White is an amazing cook and I really enjoyed my 2 days staying there. :) And ahem, this is the view from their front porch.

Yeah, I don't think I'd ever get tired of that living there! Wow. In fact, all of San Diego is just beautiful.

After church on Sunday, Chelsea and I along with some East coast friends still in town from the wedding went to the beach. The water was freeeeezing, but we enjoyed walking the beach and sittin' in the sun.

Self-timer, baby! Haha I looked like such a fool. But thankfully it only took me two tries.

JD & I....and the sign that kept us all amused the entire time.

Chels!

I saw my dream car.

After the beach we went to Lou's Record and Pannikin. I fell in love with the record store.

Dear Beth.

Oook and on the way home = one of my California highlights. We were listening to My Girls by Animal Collective (hit up my playlist if you want to hear it!) and all of a sudden Chelsea pulls off the road and pulls right up to this cliff. We cranked the volume up and danced for five minutes. It was so fun.
