So, we packed up and had a looong 15 hour drive to sunny southern california. Ryan drove the moving truck, towing his truck behind it, my mom drove my truck, and I went back and forth between the two vehicles trying to keep relaxed. I only fell asleep once during the drive, it was only for about 45 minutes but when i woke up my feet were really swollen and aching. I didn't dare fall asleep after that! I kept myself cool, calm, elevated, and hydrated. It wasn't as bad as i thought it'd be and at a long 15 hours it took us (no exhaggeration), it really wasn't that bad. Our moving truck was lame and it would overheat driving uphill so sometimes we'd reach the max of 20 mph...it was pretty sad. But we made it! It wasn't as easy saying goodbye as i'd thought it'd be. I've made so many great friends that i'm truly gonna miss. My girls. Karen and Hailee, i'm gonna miss our weekly girls night. There's not a whole lot to do out there but we always found activities and had the most awesome time. Mostly cuz hailee grew up in a bubble and had never done all the normal things most people do as kids...i.e. mini golf, chuck e cheese...Lol.
I'm also gonna miss the mountains. They were my backyard. I wanted to take a picture before we left but it just wouldn't do them justice. They are so beautiful! I'm sure living there your whole life and seeing them day in and day out, you just get used to them just being there. There was not one day i didn't see them and just think of how awesome they were and i felt so lucky to be so close to them. Especially, when the leaves start changing and you take a drive up into the mountains, you just don't get that here! All the reds and oranges, it so breathtaking.
Well, this is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives and i'm both nervous and excited. It's gonna be wonderful!
