Now as I build a life with my family of 3 in this golden state,
I feel so blessed to call THIS my home

Excellent Mexican food
Beaches and surfing
Expensive cost of living (I am sure we could have bought a mansion in another state)

3.89!!!!!! OUCH!!!!! The high pumps in my neighborhood are just at 3.13 then 15 miles closer to my work they are still in the 2.98 range.....I always remembered driving to SD having to pay more for gas on my way home! hated that! ugh!
ReplyDeletei think i love all the perks to living in cali minus the gas!
ReplyDeleteif nothing else the mexican food and big purses and handbags are totally worth it :)
Sweet California...Oh how I love thee and would never want to live any where else!!! I have lived in 4 other states and there truly is no place like Cali. Love this post!!

I love califonia. If I were to move anywhere, that's where I would be... I was able to live there for a year and a half while I went to college. Loved it.

ReplyDeleteI would trade anything to be out in Califorina tomorrow eating at In and Out and seating on the beach.
ReplyDeleteWe have a blizzard coming my way and are due to get 18 inches of snow in OKLAHOMA, unreal! It was 75 degrees here yesterday! Crazy!
Love how much you love your state!
I'm jealous! I would love to be on the beach instead of preparing for Oklahoma's snowmageddon that's coming tonight.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, Lindsay! The mexican food is one of the best perks of living in CA. But I also adore the beach, fabulous weather, casual CA style, and the fact that it just feels like home.

ReplyDeleteSigh...} I really miss my Cali. I am a California girl, born and raised and will always yearn to move back. We moved up to UT {which also has it's beautiful perks) 5 years ago and I had a REALLY hard time. Cali is such a wonderful way to live. It's funny because the second I saw your pic on TT&J, I thought that your surroundings reminded me of Temecula with it's wineries. It is the most beautiful So-Cal city ever. I miss it! Fantastic guest post. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am so with your girl. Born and raised. I've toyed with moving outta state for the cost of living but then I see a beautiful sunset in Newport in January and there is no way I could leave! It's the best place to live :)
