As I was driving home from the airport yesterday, it hit me. "I live in California!" Of course, I knew this already, but there was some new realization that came yesterday, heading down 101, looking at the mountains and feeling the feel of California air (those of you who have been here surely know what I am talking about :o) ). This has been a dream of mine for so long now, and now, here I am, living in California, 10 blocks from the beach, going to school in the heart of San Francisco. How freaking cool is that?
When I got home last night the house seemed empty. Izzy has been with me for the past 2 1/2 weeks and what a blessing she was. I don't know that I would have made it had it not been for her being here. And when I got home her presence was instantly noticed and missed. Thanks, Izzy, for being such a great friend :o) It's going to be so weird not having you here.
After settling down last night, Jesslyn and I went through the last of my boxes (the kitchen stuff) and put everything away. We washed all the pots, pans, dishes, and worked together to figure out where we wanted to put everything. It's interesting how such an ordinary task can turn into a time of bonding :o) It was nice spending the time with her (AND getting rid of all those boxes!) The apartment is actually starting to feel like a home, which is cool. Normally it would be freaking me out that all of this isn't done already, that everything isn't in it's place, that our walls are still bare and we still don't have much furniture in our room, that there is a box of stuff in my room that I have NO idea what to do with....but today, it's okay :o) Little by little, piece by piece, the apartment is coming together and I like it. It's been cool, too, to see how my and Jesslyn's personalities mesh to create this place that reflects who we both are. We have quite a bit in common, yet are distinctly different and it's been pretty neat to witness the way those two things are melding.
yay!! Pictures please :D
