And here is one reason to love San Diego. In January of this year, Z and I would race to Sunset Cliffs to get a good view of a beautiful sunset, but this one took me by surprise.
I had come home from a long, tiring, tedious, stressful day at work and decided to pass out in our comfy chair. When I woke up, I decided to take Sophie out for a little walk. And these beautiful colors are what I saw.
It has been a long time to post. Since my birthday actually. In another blog, on my one year anniversary in San Diego, I posted mine and Z's emails across the country.
Although it does feel like a year in some ways, it doesn't in others. I got lost on my way to Fashion Valley mall a few weeks ago. I drove to Mission Valley instead. I still have to use GPS more often than I'd like to admit. I haven't been to a Padres game or been on the USS Midway.
But it has been one year in the fact that I've met some pretty amazing people. I realize now that as one gets older, it truly becomes more difficult to cultivate friendships. Maybe it's a greater risk with higher gain or maybe we learn how to guard ourselves. Regardless, it's been hard, but definitely worth it.
But I still fight becoming a Californian.
This sunset...may just change my mind.
