Eventful Weekend.

I moved my life and belongings this weekend from 3 years in my apartment to a storage unit and a temporary stay at my cousins house. I have to say, although I'm excited to embark on a journey with new beginnings in San Diego (which is where I've needed and wanted to be for quite awhile), I'm still a bit sad and nostalgic about leaving my place in Escondido. There have been so many memories made in that place. Here's to the nights spent studying and Gilmore girls with Meghan, making scrapbooks for my brother, dinner parties (can't forget the annual Thanksgiving dinners @ my casa), sleepovers, late night talks mixed with giggles, tears and hugs, wine nights with the girls, spa parties, playing hide and seek with Leo (my cat), Lauren ending up in my bed halloween 06, practicing dance in my living room, and chillin... with myself and I.

I'll also miss the breakfast spot on Escondido Blvd and the Shell car wash on El Norte Parkway... they do such a great job and sometimes they'd sell my favorite black/white Arizona tea inside the market. I'll miss Stir Fresh too... the mongolian grill place by school. I can still go there tho... I'll have to visit the school a few more times before I'm completely done with the program.

On the flip side, I will not miss my leaky roof, outlets that don't work, making the left turn into the apartment complex, and the drive down to SD... ewww and Del Dios. I wont miss that road.

I suppose nearly all the things @ my old place can be done in the new place... and even more memories will be made and the old ones will never go away (not to mention the area we're moving will be amazing)! I'm blessed for the time spent living on my own. I've learned a great deal about myself... and did an incredible amount of soul searching these last three years. I've learned how to reflect and value the relationships that have developed since I've moved from Nor Cal. I moved here thinking it would be temporary, maybe 3 years max and then I'd be back in the bay area or somewhere else in Nor Cal. Little did I know SD (and the people, connections and church) would capture my heart and I'll never be the same! I'm staying in SD until God leads me elsewhere. I'm soooo glad I trusted God enough to take a giant leap of faith and move to a place I knew next to nothing about with zero friends or family (except for my cousin Jen). It's turned out to be an experience far better than I could have ever hoped for imagined!

PS: Random info... found my mail/pool keys under the mat.... super creepy. Have NO idea how they got there!
