New Life

Good Gracious! What have I done! On December 28^th, I left my childhood home in the Northwoods of Michigan and got on a plane headed for the Bay Area of California. A hop from Appleton to Chicago, a skip over to Charlotte and a final jump to San Francisco.

When I talked to my boyfriend the next morning he asked “So, how's your new life?” I was a bit taken back at the question. The concept of having a totally new life had not really sunk in yet. Sure, I had pack two 50lb. bags and moved to the other end of the country and the only person I had ever met in a 50 mile radius was my new boss. But, I hadn't left everything had I?

As I recounted my first say on Alameda to him I was flooded with the realization of how much really was new. And, oh, was it an exhilarating feeling! I can't recall half the faces I met, let alone their names. Street names and building locations are still a mystery to me.

Falling asleep after our conversation, I found myself anticipating another whirlwind day on Alameda.

Here I will keep whoever is interested, updated on my “new life” in N. California. Not guarantees on frequency of post or quality for that matter.

Peace, Love and Laughs,
