Save Me San Francisco

It just dawned on me that we are moving 2,100 miles away from our friends and family. In 16 days we will be able to say we live on the west coast. Weird!

Never once in my almost 27 years of existence did I ever think I’d live anywhere else other then the Midwest. Honestly, I thought by now I would have a kid, if not two, and live in a place I called ” my own”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the “white picket fence” kind of lady. I could of seen us being city folk and raising our kids in a “urban organic” lifestyle (whatever that means). And by city, I never imagined any other place then good-ole Chi Town!

I also never thought the day would come where “adulthood” would literally slap me in the face. I pondered that maybe having a child would do that to me, but I have no kids. And I guess that wouldn’t be a very correct statement because I bet many people in their twenties or even thirties that have kids don’t “grow up” immediately. I’m talking about when my mother offers me money and I deny it saying, “I don’t need your money, Ma!” I mean, has hell frozen over?! Or when I’m highly considering trading in my fast-n-furious car for a smaller and more energy efficient one! Oh, are you waiting for me to say, “how about the decision to move cross country because we hope it will benefit our future one day”?

I’ve gone mad.

Beyond the madness and anxiety, there’s also extreme excitement and anticipation! A huge part of me cannot wait to get back into my yoga trance. I mean, San Francisco and yoga? They must go hand-in-hand! Exploring, meeting new people, finding a new pub to hang in… maybe becoming a mother! It’s all exciting yet I find the heart ache of leaving my friends and family behind greater now then ever.

For those of you joining our “tear fest” this Saturday, you’ll hear over and over how much we love you and going to miss you… and it’s not going to be a “good bye forever” (especially since I’m secretly plotting a secret mission on getting everyone close to us to move to the west coast as well….shhhh). But for those of you that are not, I want to personally say thanks! It’s been a good ride and I hope to see you soon, either when we are visiting Chicago or Ohio or if you visit us soon on the west coast! I will miss you all terribly.

Love, Leah
