The First Snow, The First Post

I'm a California girl in Alexandria, VA.

Six months ago, I was hanging out here:


Now, when I look out of my apartment's window, I see this:


Two feet of powdery goodness- the leftovers from Snowcopalypse '09, what I have been told was one of the worst blizzards to hit D.C. in all of its years. And lucky for me, I made it here just in time to experience it.

I initially set up this blog months ago to share thoughts about the transition from the laid-back left coast to D.C. life... but... I just never could seem to sit down and get started. Getting this blog off the ground seems like a good new year's resolution- so sit tight as I document the adventures (and misadventures) of a twenty-something Californian in the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond.

Although I miss many things about California- including Dutch Bros coffee, semi-polite drivers, and my golden retriever, Trevor- the Golden State never was able serve up a white Christmas for me...so thanks, Virginia.

I'm off to make a snowman in my patio!
