Happy Anniversary, Los Angeles

Posted on June 28, 2012 by Samantha

Six years ago today, I hopped on an airplane with my mother and father in the wee hours of the east coast morning, and boarded a plane to Los Angeles, CA.

It was two years before I went back to Florida (for a visit).

Yes, that’s right. I have lived in LA for six years today.

I am not sure how I feel about that anymore, especially now that I plan to leave LA next year. But I am proud of what I did here.

If nothing else, I took a massive leap of faith when I moved across the country to start a life in a state where I did not know a soul.

And this adventure set the bar for all the new adventures I hope to have traveling the world with Mark.

So happy anniversary to me. How cute was my 22 year old self?

I know that I spend a lot of time talking about leaving LA and seeing the world. But I feel like it is important to note that this city still holds so much beauty for me.

So, I thought it was time to introduce some of the things that I still LOVE about life in LA.

These are not in any order, but just numbered so I can keep track of the things I have named.

So, things that I still love about life in LA.
