In Cali!

So, we left Charleston on the 26th of December, somewhere around 9pm (late). Our long journey first stopped in Birmingham, AL for the night. Atlanta, the city before, is a very big, trashy city from we passed through. After resting in Birmingham, AL for the night, we ate at a Zaxby's (he'd never been to one) and went on our way again. We entered the great plains, unfortunately, and eventually made our way through the long, boring states of Mississipi, Tennessee, Texas, and stopped in Arkansas for the night again. By this time we've gone about 1000-1500 miles. We rested in a mediocre, yet so meaningful to our trip, hotel, ate and then went on our way again. This time we passed through Oklahoma, New Mexico (Albuquerque is a very nice city), stopped at an Applebee's in Albuquerque, and then drove a bit more to stop for the night, still in NM. The next day, we drove through the rest of NM, then Arizona (Arizona is cool but weird) where we not only met LOTS and LOTS of sand in the desert, but then we met snow capped mountains and snow covered ground/road; how beautiful! We crossed the California border and I needed 2 new back tires, since they were about to throw the tread off of them. I got two "used" tires for a grand total of about 200$ with labor and all (one brand new tire for my car is 150-200 alone). Though the tires were "used", they still have 30,000 miles of tread left on them, at least. I was more than pleased to have this issue taken care of, and we started our journey, safely, through California. We reached homea bout 11pm that night, ate at a Denny's, unloaded the car and crashed from being so tired. Now, I've lived in California for about a week now, and I love it so far! I cant believe I actually have a place with the person I love the most! This life seems so fantastic its almost unreal. I love him more than anything, and I'm not sure if he fully understands how much he has given me, including himself. I am truly thankful. Round trip we traveled about 3000 miles (whew!). More posts soon to come!
