Joined a few days ago, but haven't been able to get up with this community because I've been vacationing in California! I was born in Santa Clara, but my family moved Midwest after I was 4-5. We visit once a year or so, and I love it so much. Another good note, I've been recently getting into the sunscreen scene and wow do I love it. One full day at Great America (rollercoaster place) and another at the beach and I am not in the slightest burned! The shopping here has been so grand, window shopping (and occasionally buying) is so fun for me, so I've been in my paradise. Once I finish schooling, and get a steady income in, I might think about moving to Santa Clara, or maybe closer to Tahoe (for the snowboarding). Just a thought of mine, not a definite motive.(: Overall, I'm happy, and not worrying too much. I hope nothing changes too much when I get back home from my trip, work and the thoughts of going back to school can be terrifying at times, ahaha.
