{happy henry on his daily walk around the complex}

as of today, i have lived back on the right coast for six whole months. i’ll be honest: it was a bit of an adjustment, and there were times that i second guessed my somewhat spontaneous decision to move back… but, now that i’m settled, i couldn’t be happier to be back home… it’s not exactly the way i had pictured it. it’s different, but in a great way. i’ve reconnected with my oldest and most meaningful friends in a way that i am so thankful for… and i get to see and experience my favorite places from what seems like a lifetime ago… all in all, i’m so happy to be here. and after six months, i can say that i’m proud of myself for making a worthwhile {and frankly, gutsy, move}. here are a few pics of life on the east-side:

{i snapped this pic & sent to my sisters a few months back… growing up the first signs of these flowers meant spring was here}

{stew leonard’s was, and still is, one of my favorite grocery stores around- it still makes me feel like a little kid. talking cow? amazing fro-yo cones? yes please.}

{oh, how i missed my rangers… and a playoff game? not half bad}

{i’ve officially swapped my la mag for ny. thanks julie!}

{cycling at equinox has become a regular event… to be honest it’s probably due to the post workout cold-eucalyptus towel & steam}

{oh, and my daily fountain diet coke from the gas station around the corner. this might seem weird but its literally the best diet coke. ever}
