we drove up there this weekend and started checking out houses with our realtor. it was so much fun! the town is beautiful. horse ranches everywhere. peaceful, nice people… when i’d breathe in the air, i couldn’t help exhaling the word “home” every so often. beautiful trees and mountains and wildlife! and quiet!! the same day we went apple picking at an apple farm in town and we picked up some freshly baked apple cake, too!

now, whenever i am driving around this dinky antelope valley, i look toward the tehachapi mountains and think, “i am going to have my first baby there!”
