The Los Angeles Bucket List

The final count down has arrived. I am moving back to the Valley of the Sun at the end of April! I am incredibly excited to move home again and so grateful for the opportunity to live in the City of Angels for the past 8 months. I've learned so much about myself and that could have only come from this experience. Before this opportunity came along I was feeling frustrated with Arizona. I felt it was holding me back, had nothing to offer, wasn't what I needed to be myself. But moving away opened my eyes to how much I love home. It's where my heart feels fullest. 

That being said, I have certainly opted to make the most out of living here and enjoy it to its fullest. Thats almost an impossible task, considering how large the LA area is. But I'm doing my best. This is going to be an updated blog post--check back to see what if it's accomplished. I'm going to post the entire list of things I feel are necessary to my experience as an Angeleno and the photos once I accomplish them. I am so grateful for the most amazing friends I have to find these gems with me!

Insomnia

So it's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. I should probably be using this time to finish one of my last three assignments, but that seems less than intelligent seeing as how it's already 'tomorrow'. So I figured I would update my little corner of the blogosphere with some pictures from the last few weeks. I've actually spent most of the past few weeks in Arizona but I had a lovely little staycation in the middle of my two trips when Dani Roz came to visit me! Go figure it was one of the few times we actually experienced weather here in sunny SoCal but we made the most of her trip!

I live my life through pictures. This is not news. But I'm so glad I got to share some of LA's gems with one of my best friends! Now that it's almost 1am, I think I'm going to attempt some sleep.

xoxo my lovelies,
