July 5, 2012 - In the Budget truck heading to Texas:
In July of 2012 I made the second big move of my life. While the choice to move was all my own, the choice of destination was not. When I graduated high school in 2009 I fully intended on moving far enough away from home, but staying in California. After visiting my cousin in San Diego and completely falling in love with the city that is where I decided to move. At the age of 19 I moved to San Diego and loved every minute of my time spent there. The city, the weather, the beach, the restaurants and the overall atmosphere made me never want to leave. Then, I met him. My now husband was stationed on a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter (ship) that was home ported in San Diego. After what seemed like one day of hanging out the feeling was there. Our first year together he was gone about 7 months all together, but our fate was sealed and I knew he was my person. The next move was to Port Aransas, Texas. We have been living in the neighboring city of Corpus Christi because Port A, as the locals call it, is tiny. My husband is about to receive his next orders and the next big adventure will begin. My gypsy soul is jumping inside to find out where we are going because I am so ready for a change.
