It's official, Our flights are booked, and we're headed to California! I'm off for a work trip and Matthew will meet me in San Fransciscooo for the weekend. And since I am traveling to CA, I finally have an excuse to tell you allll about my California Adventures.
You see, I lived in California Once. I've kinda got a soft spot for the crazy place.
My dad drove me all the way there, and Emily came too. This was my "we're finally here picture!"
I was also 20 lbs lighter. Kidding, kidding haha.
Not reallyy, but moving on.

My dad took off about as soon as I could say Cowabunga. And Emily? She stuck around for a few days like a good friend should. And then it was just me out in the big scary world. Okayyy, Okayy, not really. I actually went for a school program called UTLA, met some rad people and friends I still talk to occasionally.
Now why did I Move to LA? Oh just a Texas girl with big dreams. I wanted to be an entertainment publicist. I listened to a lot of Feist.. I saw a handful of celebrities. Like Heidi Montag at the DMV!
They’re really just like US! Lololol
I even couch crashed lived with this girl for 6 weeks. And now she's famous. Doesn't even remember me I bet!]
I also got this weird haircut, you know, to fit in better.
It only looked good in a ponytail. I sighed a lot.

Did I ever find my dream job? Nope. Should I have tried harder to find elusive dream job? Maybe. Did I find Britney Spears, BIG FAT negative!! Was it worth it? Hell yes. I wouldn't change the humbling experience for the world. And as I head back, I might get a little nostalgic.
Cause I'm going back to Cali, Cali. I'm back to Cali. Bom bom bom.
Los Angeles and San Fransisco, here we come!!

Husband and I are heading to Palo Alot & San Fran in June to visit my sister who is a traveling nurse at Standord University Hospital. Cannot wait to explore that part of the state. And I would love to pick your brain for things to do:)

UTLA was so weird. It wasn't normal school but it also wasn't the real world. Well, maybe that's not UTLA, maybe that's just LA. I love your blog Tess, and we should catch up in real life sometime too. Have fun on your trip, say hi to Phil for me. ;-)
Cue theme song from OC playing in my head right now! Have SO much fun.
