I will be driving home in 15 days 16 hours & 22 minutes. Yeah.. I'm pretty excited. So excited that I have a countdown on my phone that keeps track down to the second of when I am hopping in my car to head towards the Pacific coast. California was my first home. Where I was born, got to know my cousins, made my first friends. It will always be home. Idaho is my second home. I love Idaho. But... I have always dreamed about returning to California. If you have read any of my other posts then you have probably noticed a trend. I often talk about wanting to make an impact, wanting to follow my dreams, loving the ocean. Well.. all of these things can be done from Idaho EXCEPT being near the ocean. The beach is my happiest place-- we all deserve one of those (a happy place I mean).
However, for the next year (while I am finishing school and definitely residing in Idaho) I am determined to start a ripple effect in regard to getting young people involved in the state's politics and encouraging women to stand up and make an impact. Throughout this process I will also be doing everything that I can to find a way to move back to sunny Southern California sometime after I graduate as well though. Whether that be trying something new, finding a job that I just can't pass up, or anything else... I am opening myself up to believing that I can find a way to get/do what I want.
