We have 5 weeks left here in California. Where did the time go? It feels like it was just yesterday we said goodbye to Washington state and began our journey down here. Everything was so new and mysterious. I was in awe at how much culture surrounded us. There are Filipinos everywhere haha! The wide variety of terrain shocked me. Vineyards everywhere...green hills covered with cows... to the left of us, giant-rock beaches and redwoods, and to the right of us Lake Tahoe and snow covered mountains. 90 degree summers. Cool, rainy winters. I really am going to miss this place.
This is the part that I hate about being a military wife. I hate saying goodbyes. I hate never truly being able to put down roots. I hate the fear of the unknown. And I hate that I can never really get close to anyone because they know I will just leave. Of course, I'm not the only one. You learn to push forward. You learn to make new friends. You get to see and experience so much more than the average person.
All this to say, I'm grateful for all the people that have been in our life these past 2 1/2 years. I've met some amazing people and am thankful for how each one helped make this place seem a little bit more like home. You know who you are...thank you.
