Karl and Angela Rees

This week Karl met many people that just Angela had known. First off, Friday was bring your family to work day. Angela took a half day but came back with Karl at 3:00, so he could see her office and meet her co-workers. Her company also served ice cream sundaes. Saturday was Angela’s High School Reunion. There was an afternoon activity at a park in Salt Lake. We ate lunch and visited with many people. We won a basket full of goodies when we played the Newlywed game. We would have answered the same for every question if we hadn’t second guessed each other on a couple of them.  read more »

We’re back in Utah and finally getting settled in. It’s been a very busy and exciting two weeks. First, our last week of working in California, then packing and moving, then visiting Angela’s grandparents, then driving back to Salt Lake City. Then once we got back in Utah, we spent a lot of the week with Karl’s family, as they were visiting. And we spent a lot of time on home repair.

We drove down to Monterey and Carmel on Saturday. We didn't eat lunch at Bubba Gump's because the line was too long, but we tried Fish n Chips with Popcorn Shrimp at Louie Linguini's and then topped it off with Ghiradehli chocolates. Then we headed down Highway 1 to Big Sur for some fun driving and scenery. And then there was an awesome sunset when we got back to Carmel.
