As I am sure you are all aware by now, I have recently moved from Massachusetts to California! This past month has been an absolute whirlwind, and it went by SOOOO fast. I can't believe that Saturday of this week is June 1st! So I figured I'd do a little recap of the month, just as a little diary entry for myself, but also to share with all of you!
April 22nd, I flew from Boston to LAX, and moved into my new place with Shay! That first week was definitely interesting, and was basically a lot of setting up and getting things organized. Lots of Target and IKEA runs, and basically just trying to get ourselves organized! And honestly? That first week and a half truly went by pretty quick! Before I knew it, my birthday rolled around! I really wanted to make sure I did something fun, especially while being in the midst of moving to a new space. So my friends and I all went to Disneyland together for my birthday! (I took a little vlog of the day, and it'll be up and posted by this Friday morning LA time 🥰). Then we had a break day, and then that Saturday we went to Renfaire! It was my first time ever experiencing a renaissance faire, and it was SO much fun! I'll definitely be planning to go back next year! That Monday is when I met up with my lovely friend Lauren (who you may all know as Lauren of Westview on Instagram, or Little Miss Scarlet Witch on TikTok!) which was SUPER exciting for us, because we had been internet friends for a while now, but never met in person until that day! We had such a blast filming our little Peter Parker Vlog. It makes me laugh every time I rewatch it. Looking back on the first couple weeks of May, I'm realizing how busy things were! That Wednesday, Shay and I went to a carnival/early screening on the Paramount lot for the new movie IF, which was a film about if you could see your imaginary friends as an adult! I didn't expect it to hit me as hard as it did, but Shay and I both left the theater in tears. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that we had both just moved out of our childhood homes. The plot hit a little different right after that. Then Friday was Shay's birthday! Definitely another eventful day, because we took an adventure to go pick up a couch, and spent the day setting it up! And that night we ended up checking out a go-cart place, and went to a bar to celebrate. The week after that was basically starting to get into a routine. Still figuring out our move-in process and what we needed, etc etc. It takes a while to get settled into a new space! I also took some time to explore more of the LA area, and found my new favorite comic book shop, House of Secrets! I've been a couple of times now since moving here, and I absolutely love how they have all the new comics, as well as vintage ones lining every wall. Such a cool store! And Shay and I finally also got around to buying ourselves mattresses (we had been sleeping on air mattresses for most of the first month!) and that definitely felt like a big check off our to do list! Last Thursday we went back to Disneyland one more time as a fun day trip and a chance to do some creative Disneybounds! Shay just got her Kermit Nuimo, and I had my Hulk Nuimo, so we did a themed "Green Pals Disneybounds!". I honestly didn't think I would ever do a Bruce Disneybound, but I had so much fun putting together a themed Hulk outfit for the day! And a big bonus was that it was extremely comfy 😂 As I am writing this, I'm actually prepping to head back to Boston--wait what? Boston?! I know. I JUST got to Cali! But I had to plan a trip to go home because of a few family things that are happening in the month of June, and a family vacation that we had planned since before I knew I was moving! So it's back to MA for me for a bit. But I already know that the month will fly by! I'll be back to Cali before I can even blink. Thank you all for coming with me on the first month of this journey so far! It's been a wild ride, and it's just the beginning! I can't wait to see what is in store next :) -Jess <3
