We’re moving. To Alabama. In just a couple of weeks. I’ve never even crossed that state line before, let alone spent any quality time there to know what it’s like or how I might fit in. But nonetheless, I’m excited. Elated, actually!

My time in California has been full of beautiful, loving friends, a vibrant yoga community, fresh produce year-round (I will miss that, for sure!) and accessibility to authentic Mexican food at nearly every corner (drool…). All of those things, plus my two years at CCA, my three years with Summit and of course, meeting my husband, have made my almost six years as a California resident rich with happy memories. Not to mention learning to ski in the Sierras, hiking up Shasta and Mt. Whitney with Jeffrey, delivering my first child here in Sacramento, walking onto Golden Gate Bridge with my dad, drinking beers in the Mission with Nat and Alex…and so on.

But. I’m ready for a change! And I know Alabama isn’t Virginia, and I know my world there will have challenges, but I am full of this sweet, warm sense that I’m kind of…going home.
