Hello Everyone.
Yesterday Peter and I drove up to Portola (4 hours north) to get the rest of our things and Peter's car. It was a beautiful drive as always. When we got there tea and lunch was ready...my family is the best. After some confusion my uncle John set me straight and told us how to get to Quincy, a very cute little town in the Canyon. We went there to the DMV to register our cars and get new CA licenses. My gosh am I glad we went there. The people were so friendly and small town-ish asking about each other's neighbors and family. It didn't take long at all, the day before we had went to the Oakland DMV...what a zoo. I'm now officially a California resident, can you believe it? We took the canyon the rest of the way home down the mountain and into the countryside. it was breath taking. We were driving at dusk, Ironically I was listening to a song called Emily by Joanna Newsom she sings about Meteors in the song. I saw a flash and looked up and crashing into the mountain was the biggest Meteor I had ever seen!! it was HUGE streaming purple and blue flames with bright red ones in the front it was so close I could see flames leaping off it and it physically hit the trees on top of the hills. Amazing.
I could never have predicted my life would be this way right now. I decided I wasn't happy and made some bold decisions. Including telling certain people how I felt about them (you know who you are). Things are really changing in a positive way. I can't wait to see what happens next...
PS. Two things I love out here (amongst many others)
-Pitchers of Soju margaritas with friends without the cups and only straws
-warm Mocha Mates and a scarf
