Change

I haven't blogged in a long time- sorry about that. Life has been insanely busy and a lot of things have changed. Starting with selling the house and moving back to California. Moving has been a tough transition- I love California, it will always be home to me. However, I lived in Minnesota for so long, trudged through an intense 8+ years of schooling and made a life, lifelong friends, and even had a Minnesota accent (so I've been told...). Minnesota also became home too. The transition relocating hasn't just been tough on me :) The only one this transition HAS been easy on is the darn dog. He loves California, just misses his play mate Cletus. 

I will start blogging recipes and crafts again

I'll start my blog with the top 10 GREAT things about living in California

10. The ocean (too bad it doesn't help with the drought)
9.   The ethnic diversity..... MN was land of Scandinavians (which trust me I'm into that...) but there really isn't much diversity. California is like the melting pot of cultures and it's great!
8.   The food- fresh seafood, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Italian--- all 100% authentic food whenever you want it. I learned that I am addicted to Pho soup.
7. Laura- No other words other than I missed the heck out of this girl living in the Midwest for so long.
6. The weather- 95 during the day, 60 at night and perfect at around 4 pm every single day.
5. The hospitals- Some of the greatest hospitals are right here in the Bay Area
4. The lay of the land-- Ocean to the West, Redwoods to the North, Desert to the south, and Yosemite and Tahoe to the East.
3.  New friends I've made- I've met some cool ladies since I moved here!
2. No snow ruining my commute
