Heading to Cali Series: Getting rid of Steph’s car
Wow, does it feel good to actually break the news to the world about Stephanie and I heading out to Palo Alto, California. I have held back until now for a few different reasons, but now it’s officially time to let everyone know that WE ARE MOVING TO CALIFORNIA!
Whew…there, I finally said it and in about a week I’ll be living it as we pack up and drive on out west to our new cottage out in the warm and beautifully sunny streets of the computer nerd capital of the world. I’m sure that I’ll fit in just fine, but there is plenty of nervousness going on even though this is something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time now. I know that it will work out perfectly with Stephanie and I fitting in like we belonged there from the beginning. I guess it’s like I always say: ‘If you don’t get nervous about it, then it’s probably not even worth doing.’
So, as we move along the super accelerated schedule of moving out there we have a a type of ‘mental list’ of things that we need to take care of before we get out there. One of the first things we decided to take care of was what we are going to do with our cars. Stephanie drives a 2007 Civic si and I was driving a 2007 GMC Envoy Denali and we have decided that we need to not only get down to one car(with one cheaper payment), but we also needed to get into something a little more gas efficient.
But, before we get too far ahead of ourselves, the first thing we had to do was get rid of Stephanie’s ride. We were told to go get her car appraised at Carmax so that we could see what it was worth. It was my first Carmax experience, so of course I decided to make a video about it and you can check it out below or over here on YouTube. This is the first of many more Moving to Cali Series videos that we’ll be making, so come on along for the ride!
Have you heard…
The rumors are TRUE!! That’s right guys.. as of April 10th Hup and Steph will no longer reside in the great state of Indiana. We’re headed out west to chase after our dreams; dreams that have embedded themselves in our heads and kept knocking at the door of our hopeful ambitions consistently since we visited the sunny state of California just three short months ago.
The past two weeks have been somewhat of a whirlwind… ok not just a whirlwind, but a hurricane is more like it. A simple e-mail to a stranger out in Palo Alto, California has sparked the beginnings of quite honestly the biggest adventure the two of us will have embarked upon as of to date. Pure and wonderful randomness is at the heart of this exciting endeavor and we couldn’t be more thrilled to witness what has become of our total insanity. As I stated earlier, a random e-mail to the founder of www.photocrank.com began a long conversation between Ryan and the owner of a start-up out in Palo Alto. After hours of conversation and strategizing a plan was set in place to have Ryan sign on as the next hired employee of the company. How’s that for random and amazing?!?!
We’ve been set up in probably the coolest little cottage that Palo Alto has to offer, along with a family that is just as awesome to share our residency and new experiences with. I’ll begin my job search as soon as we arrive, and I’ve already got a couple options lined up 
We’re both SO incredibly exciting and eager to start off on this INCREDIBLE adventure together. We promise to keep you all updated with videos and posts all about the craziness we’ll experience out in Cali. We’re definitely ready for Cali, the only question left is… Is Cali ready for us!!??!?
