Our new California apartment!

So let's start on the virtual tour of our new apartment...which we absolutely love. It's in Dublin, California. Which is about 40 minutes outside of San Francisco. It's on the east bay, just southeast a little bit.

We're only 5-10 minutes away from everything: Walmart, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, 3 malls, 2 In-and-Out Burgers, Home Depot, like 10 high schools, the freeway, my Aunt and Uncle Johansen, our church, the movie theater (which we won't be going to--$10.50 per person), Iron Horse Trail, the Post Office, and 50 different parks. No joke, 50--10 in Dublin and 40 in Pleasanton (neighbor city).
Here is what it looks like inside:
The door that goes out to our little porch. Like the curtains? Walmart clearance baby. Love them:)
Our porch (and storage closet):TV and REAL fireplace! Nice huh? Let's see if we actually ever use it...
Our sweet new table. We were debating for a while on what size we should get, and we really liked a smaller 47" one...but then we thought we should get this one, a 72" one that has a leaf to expand to 84" and with 6 chairs instead of 4. This way, we can have more than one couple over and we plan on keeping this one for a long time. Again, curtains--Walmart clearance.
I put the flowers together on the table. Walmart is taking over the world. And we're helping.
The kitchen:
Cute colorful bathroom.
The laundry in the hall closet! Oh this is heavenly to have so close and convenient. So nice.Our bedroom. The room that's not finished yet. We have some pictures to still put up above the bed, and we need to get an office desk in here...we're working on it.And back outside, as you come out the door and turn directly and immediately right, we have a big nice park! Right across the street!Here is the pool. Sweet huh? It's nice. There's a hot tub and tennis and basketball courts. And also a big workout gym right behind us in this picture...which Ben and I have faithfully used the last 2 days in a row!
So this is where we spend our time, out in the sun at the pool, reading, being lazy. Quite the spoiled life for now. We're quite bored of each other and can't wait till he starts work in 2 weeks.

Just kidding:)

Hey Camille!
You've moved to California, what a brave soul! I'm too much of a home body to even move five minutes from my family...pretty pathetic! Your apartment looks way cute though and I'm sure you guys will love it there.

That's fun that you guys are living in Dublin. I lived in Danville for three years. It is such a fun area. I loved being so close to San Francisco and it's fun to drive into Oakland to have Stake Conference right next to the temple. I hope you guys enjoy your time in the Bay Area. It's a pretty good place...

Ben and Camille--

You're place looks really great; you're a wonderful decorator. Doesn't it feel nice to finally feel like it's HOME? Ah, I love Pleasanton. Can't wait to visit...
