We took this picture only minutes after walking into our new apartment - 30 floors up. We enjoyed the view for a while before going to a hotel for the night because our belongings weren't being delivered until the next day - due to a completely disasterous situation with the moving company. I was just glad our things showed up at all. 

This is how things looked when we were done bringing our things in the next day. So much for the view! :) 

This is the view from our new bedroom. The sunrise is spectacular coming up over the Berkeley Hills and campus. 

Once we were all moved in we had to become official California residents (scary, I know!). That meant new driver's licenses and license plates for the car and motorcycle. We spent about 4 hours at the DMV to get everything done. Keith and I both only missed 1 question on our tests and were glad to have this over with.

This is the view I see most often. This is the view of campus from the window of the Scandinavian Library where I study and work. I spend almost all of my time on campus in this library. Almost everyday is as sunny and beautiful as it looks in this picture. You can't beat this weather. 

On Memorial Day we decided to take a mini vacation. Unfortunately one of my professors decided to hold class on the holiday, so we didn't get started on our vacation until 4:30. Once I was out of class we drove over the Bay Bridge into San Franciso and across the Golden Gate bridge to Stinson Beach. Fortunately we had plenty of time to enjoy the sand and sun while we watched the surfers ride the waves. 

...but we decided against going for a swim! 

Our new ward meets in the multi-stake center next to the Oakland Temple. It's a beautiful place to visit every week.
