I haven't had a blog since Xanga back in the day! I thought now would be a good time to start writing again, especially since Derek and I are in the process of transitioning across the country. I've done my fair share of moving, living in Oregon, Washington, Illinois, and then California all within the period of 3 years. The last time I really moved, though, was 7 years ago. I was 15 and about to start my sophomore year of high school...weird. I would say time flies but it feels like moving to California was forever ago. Even before I had gotten to California, I told myself that I would get out as soon as I could. To me, it was an over-hyped, over-priced state that had taken me away from so many friends. Well, now, 7 years later, I have to admit that it has grown on me quite a bit, although I'm still reluctant to call it home, in the "I'll always have a desire to move back there" kind of way. I still think its over-hyped and over-priced. I have made a lot of good friends, and have found a love in my heart for the weirdness and beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains. My parents and little brother are still in the Bay Area, and it will be hard not living near them.
More than anything, I am looking forward to a new adventure with my husband. He is an East Coast boy through and through, and he really misses home. I am excited to make New England my home, with him.
