Last weekend I got the opportunity to visit family for the Easter holiday. It was the first time in four years seeing them on Easter (though I usually make it back 2-3 times a year for other holidays). When I first moved to California, it was on Easter Sunday, four years ago.

Four years certainly went by fast, and the trip reminded me of why I prefer California too! The midwest mentality is great to grow up with, but if I'd never left the state, I'd probably be just as close-minded as much of my family is.

Overall, glad to be back, and excited to see friends again. And my cat has been incredibly clingy since I returned last night.
