My life changed for forever yesterday. My parents moved from California after living there for 25 years. I no longer have a home base in the Taft/Bakersfield area. I was so excited for them to move because it's what they have wanted to do for so long...and then it finally hit me what that all meant for me! I don't know why or when I will ever be in that area again. There are so many friends in the area (Jill mostly) that I got to see all the time because of where my parents lived. There's no Jills in Eugene Or. What am I going to do there? Sure it has the mountains and the rivers and the berry bushes growing like weeds...but there's no Taft High or All in the Sandwhich or Bishop Pease in Oregon. This means goodbye to the house that I grew up in, to my schools and favorite whole in the wall burger joints, but mostly to the friends that I grew up with. I hope that I can come around some time. Go Taft High!

I know April, it is funny how much you can miss a place you couldn't wait to get out of. Amy's mom and two of her sisters still live in Taft. So I still have a reason to visit.
My parents are moving from their San Diego home, meanwhile the house I grew up in on the East Coast is for sale as well...
My heart is just breaking all over the United States :(
sorry gina! That sucks. Where are your parents moving to?
