One year ago, after a almost a week traveling across the country, we finally arrived in Cali.
It's been a big year of firsts for both of us. It was the first time in a long time I've lived in a place that I didn't completely hate. Like even in the worst moments, I didn't wish the place into it's own personal hell.
It was the first full year B spent at one school and had both of her parents in the same city. It was my first full year back at school, first for culinary, then I changed my major to photo. I also became a an official resident of another state for the first time in 30 years (Illinois, it was fun, but we've had to part ways), even though I will always be a chicago girl at heart. No matter what.
And for a year, it wasn't too bad. If anything, I think everything fell into place. I kinda fell in love with the city I live in, which is really a first for me because the last city I fell in love with was Rome. Go figure it'd be a city in California.
Yup, it's good to be California girls.
