Before we go.............

As the moving date gets closer, Jeremy and I have really been able to think and talk about thethings we will definetely miss about living in CA and also the things we will NOT miss about living in CA. So between the two of us, here are some of them.........And to start with, this list will not include family and friends, because OFCOURSE we will miss them tremendously being in PA!


Some things we will miss.......

The beautiful year-round weather with all those sunny days! Fullerton has an avg of 283 sunny days per year, while Allentown PA has an avg of only 201 sunny days.






The BEACH! We have loved going to the beach with family and friends, playing volleyball and football, and ofcourse attending numerous summer bonfires! We will be about 90 miles from the nearest beach in New Jersey!








The Lakers and Angels-We both have grown up going to Angel games so it just won't be the same not being able to go down to The Big A and see a game on a cool night, parking across the street and eating Panda Express before the game! Jeremy already has plans to check out the Phillies in June with his friend Brian while Brian is visiting back East. Jeremy will miss the rare golden opportunity of attending Laker games once in awhile, but he says he will always support the Purple and Gold......Does anyone remember that Kobe Bryant is from Philly?! (PA fact) Anyways, Jeremy now has to get acquainted with the 76ers......he's hoping to see a 76er-Celtics game soon because the 76er games are so much cheaper than Laker games!















The Newport Beach Temple...



We have loved living so close to this georgeous temple and being able to attend so often. We have many great experiences at this temple and will miss it a lot! We will be in the Washington D.C. temple district until the Philadelphia temple is built. It will be a high-rise style temple similar to the temples in NYC and Hong Kong. We are excited to still be able to attend a temple near our future home.







In-In-Out! I don't think words do this place justice, because it is so good and the best fast-food in the world! In-In-Out, along with Pei Wei, Brea's Best, and BJ's will definitely be missed when we are looking for something good to eat in a few months!



Some things we will NOT miss..........











Traffic in all directions!







Crowds everywhere!


Governor Arnold and the mess that is left of California's finances.......IOU's for a state tax return???!!!

Nutwood East Apartment complex! We have loved the 600 square feet of space on the inside of our apartment and we will miss it, but outside our own 4 walls its been a different story!


We really are going to miss our family, friends, and lots of other things in good ol CA. But we are excited about the change and look forward to the new things we will be able to experience back East. CA will always be our "home" and we hope to come back to visit often as we can!

Only 90 miles from a beach, I think you are still closer than we are. I'll eat extra In-N-Out to compensate for you. And, didn't you forget something? Does tailgate ring a bell?

I kept scrolling down expecting to see a picture of me, and possibly my wife. Imagine my disappointment.
