I am now a Southern California resident. Surprise!
My husband has been pursuing his PhD in Philosophy for years now, and he was offered a prestigious spot among graduate students at the University of California Riverside. I was still happily working at a local architecture firm in April when he received the good news. He was torn. I was not. He didn’t want to take me away from such a great job that I loved to follow him to the suburbs of Los Angeles. I was up for an adventure.
Moving across state lines is one of the most stressful things in life. Trust me, I know from experience, three times. Not only do you have to fit all of your stuff into a pod or trailer or two cars (or a combination of all three), but you have to change banks, quit your job, leave your family and friends, find a place to live, get a new drivers license, and change your address on everything from credit cards to car insurance. These things pass quickly, though.

It’s the middle of January in 2012. Also, my blog has been neglected for months. And yet, I’d like to share with you my New Year’s Resolution(s) like the cliché that it is.
