It was hard, but Adrian and I left my beloved Colorado. It seemed like a good idea at the time, considering what a horrible season it was. We were originally going to move at the end of the ski season, but we were so tired of no snow that we left mid-April. We moved to Huntington Beach, California.

After we arrived in CA, I found out that Arapahoe Basin decided to close a
month earlier than scheduled. Whoa! We were glad we didn't plan to stick around. The drive from Silverthorne to Huntington Beach was easy; my grandfather was a trucker so trucking is in my blood, ha ha. I drove nonstop all night and made it to Vegas, spent the night, then Adrian and I continued onto California.
It was a little hard to find a place here, but we managed. Adrian really wanted to be near the beach, and I really wanted a washer/dryer and hardwood floors/laminate/tile (NO CARPET!). You won't believe how many places didn't allow dogs. We got so lucky that we found a studio with no carpet, washer dryer hookups, full kitchen, AND allowed dogs... and it's two blocks away from the beach! It's actually roomy and comfortable in here, I really like it. We do have a loft and we use it for storage, all our gear is up there :)

I miss Colorado a lot, but I'm finally starting to like it here. I don't think I will ever 100% love it; I have discovered that I really am a mountain person. I'm just happier there. Adrian and I have picked up surfing, it is great fun but I like snowboarding way better! I think this season, we will get season passes to Mountain High and Big Bear. I am disappointed that they offer adaptive tickets, but NOT adaptive passes. I have no idea how long we will be out here for...at least this winter. We won't be out here forever. I miss the slow-pace life, the beautiful sunrises, and most of all, my friends. We do have beautiful sunsets here, and I am starting to slowly make new friends here. We will see how it goes this winter!
