So as I mentioned in my last post, we planned a very sudden trip back to California. The kids were excited which surprised me because we had just made the long drive about two weeks before. It was fun to spend Easter with family, although we did feel bad for leaving Bry in Utah alone. We slept at Chrystina and Craig's house one night, than at Jeannette's house one night and than headed to Monterey to stay with Ang and Jeremy. While we were in Monterey we did run into our go friends, the Minards. The kids were so excited to hang out with them for a day at the aquarium. The weather was a little crazy, it started snowing in the Sierras, so I was forced to go home a different way. The drive was long, but not terrible. I couldn't believe how well the kids did, we drove for about 10 hours the first day and than spent the night in St. George. We still had four hours to go before we were home. It was a quick trip, but we had a fun time.
It was sort of surreal driving through California again. I miss it a lot more than I thought I would even though it was only a couple of weeks. Just the scenery alone is very different than Utah. Don't get me wrong the mountains in Utah are gorgeous, but I think I miss the changing scenery. On the way home I had a lot of time to think and I had to promise myself that I would see the good in this move and be more positive. I know it will take baby steps and over time it will get easier.

Catching up on reading your blog today- Your thoughts about moving to UT from CA were much like mine when I first moved away. Not my favorite move. I still miss it. A lot. And every time I go back, which unfortunately has been years since I have, I particularly love the decent down the Sierras into the valley -breathing that clean mountain pacific air. Oh, that is the best!
