Plus, I met Christian (my amazing boyfriend) along the way. A lot of saving, a lot of planni… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I finally understood the meaning of courage. It took one very special person (although he probably doesn't even know it) just a few months to flip my world upside down. I had to lose him to gain myself. But after I found myself, I understood the meaning of real courage. It is going after what you desire the most. It is not being afraid to curl up in a ball and cry your eyes out. It is not being afraid to tell people, "this is what I want.… Read how I did it…

How I did it: My parents got tired of New York and wanted to move somewhere else. I suggested California. I explained that California was more family-friendly and there was more cool places to visit. Luckily, my dad got a job there and we moved. We moved to Turlock, a small town a few hours away from San Francisco. California was a lot different but I liked it. Turlock was perfect because it was pretty close to San Francisco, Los Angelos, Yosemite Nati… Read how I did it…

I miss CA. It’s like an ache in my chest and a tightness in my throat. I went to a local yoga class, which seems to remind me of what I’m missing.

may be able to deploy with a unit from CA. That might allow us to get a foothold there.

Feeling a bit

babushka-like. I have a scarf wrapped around my head. It’s so cold in the house that I’ve gone to anything that provides a slight bit more warmth. Ready to move. I’m tired of feeling cold.
Moved into the new place yesterday
1 month ago
I’m now officially living in California and it feels fantastic! Christian and I got all the stuff moved into our little place (with the help of some movers). It felt really fantastic. We’ve already started unpacking boxes and later we will be buying some new furniature to make sure everthing has a place in our new home. We really love it. It’s a very nice home.
I’ve become such a cleaning organizational nerd that I spent most of last night cleaning all the cupboards geeking out over how efficiently they use storage space in the apartment. With pantries and double rung closets and little cubbies everywhere in the closets, everything is going to find a nice little home out of site and out of mind. :)
Next step? Finding a job… oh and actually getting internet in our apartment so I don’t have to come down and use the complex’s computer room every time I want to check my email. :S
