The Move...dun dun dun.


The Los Angeles part of the move is done! I was back in Los Angeles for about 12 days to close out everything for myself and Richard. I couldn't have made it through the crazy without of course Richard, David, or my parents. Infinite thanks go out to those 4. It was a lot of fun seeing close friends over the course of the week, it was so so so hard saying good bye:(

My parents having a much needed drink @ Kay N'Dave's our last night...and yes, my Dad did his first shot EVER! Better late than never...






I had a fun & much needed mid week break thanks to Meredith seeing a taping of Melissa & Joey on the CBS lot. Seeing Melissa Joan Heart in person and meeting her (kinda) after growing up loving Clarissa Explains It All & Sabrina the Teenage Witch was simply awesome sauce.







I got the wonderful news the day before I was heading back that we can definitely take our 3 cats out here. They have started the quarantine process officially! They weren't happy campers heading to the vet but they were surprisingly well behaved. Such a rare thing to have them all snuggly on a bed!

Depart Thursday & Arrive Thursday

This Thursday I will be tackling the 14 1/2 hour flight from Melbourne to LA. To be fair, the 16 1/2 hour flight out here wasn't as rough as I imagined it was going to be. Not only do I get the day back that I lost, but I also knock 2 hours off of the flight time; WOOO!

I have 12 days to close out LA completely before I fly back. Packing/sorting/donating/selling/buying stuff to name the short list. It's strange to think that I first came out to the West Coast with just a few suitcases, and I then I slowly grew roots after starting from scratch. I have loved Los Angeles, CA and have had an incredible ride with some amazing people.

When I think to myself holy crap I'm moving literally across the world from where I grew up, it doesn't feel real. I don't know when it will sink in during the moving process, it's all just incredibly dreamlike. I can't wait to see family and friends in just 4 days hours, and of course, my 3 cats.
