Christine, Jamie and the cats land in California

On the balcony of their temporary digs

After a smooth cross-country flight, Christine and Jamie arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Nov. 30), accompanied by their Bengal cats, Morgana and Lavenza.

As previously reported, the move was prompted by Jamie's new job as a game designer with video-game publisher Riot Games, headquartered in Santa Monica.

The new California girls are staying temporarily in a company-provided apartment while waiting for their furniture and belongings to arrive. They will then settle into their own apartment in a West Los Angeles neighborhood near Santa Monica.

Leaving their NJ apartment

Jamie and Christine spent the last several months living in New Jersey, about an hour from where Christine grew up. They visited her parents, Dan and Julie, for Thanksgiving dinner, along with Christine's brother, Andy, and his fiancé, Wren. 

The movers came the following Monday, and Dan and Julie hosted the couple and their cats overnight before driving them to Newark Airport in the morning.

(A couple of hours after they left for sunny California, the season's first snow flurries fell in New Jersey!)

Morgana and Lavenza made the trip in travel carriers. A bit of veterinarian-prescribed sedation kept them reasonably calm, and while they did some mewling, they were no louder than a few babies on the plane. Once they got to the LA apartment, it didn't take long for them to settle in.
