Historical Significances. Significansies? Significance...es

Yikes.
It has been a WHILE!!
I keep trying to think of things to blog ABOUT! I figure I could talk about everything I've been thinking about, everything I'm feeling...but that just sounds boring for anyone else besides me. 


By the way the "inches" loss thing is going well! I've lost TWO inches so far, and thats exciting :) I knoooow I originally said something like 8 inches in 4 weeks, but I did not take into account that I'd be having finals and stressing my butt back ON.
But there is nothing that can keep me from being excited about going back to Pennsylvania for New Years. Living in Southern California my whole life has been a wonderful blessing, but the history that occurred in PA is ahmazing. Sure, in SoCal we've got some crazy history, but it's nothing like PA. I remember last time my man candy {{yeah, that happened}} and I went, we visited Philadelphia. On our way there {or was it to the cabin we stayed at?...I digress} we passed an exit called Valley Forge.

VALLEY FORGE. 

Me: "wait..is that THE valley forge?? As in George Washington's valley forge??"

Bf: "oh, yeah."

Seriously. When I told any of his friends and family about the fact that we drove near Valley Forge, their only real response was, "When I think of Valley Forge, I think of terrible traffic."

Allow me to explain why that physically hurt my soul.

La Jolla Children's Pool

I'm a nerd. Plain and simple. Stuff like being able to SEE Valley Forge is like a dream come true. I completely understand the fact that when you live somewhere, the exciting light of all the special, neat things about that place dims significantly until it's no longer as important. 

For me, its the beach. I've lived 30 minutes from the beach my whole life. Not just any beach, the beaches of San Diego. Stuff like this ------------>

is pretty normal for me. 

So I GUESS I get why that wasn't as exciting for them as it was for me. When I think La Jolla, or Del Mar, I think "bad traffic" as well...

SOOO I leave the day after Christmas...BF leaves a few days before me. It'll be good for him to get some quality time in with his family before I come crash the party. :)

I am so excited its all I can think about. It's a beautiful state, and I can't wait to see his wonderful, loving family. {{Not sucking up. There's no guarantee that any of them will read this, it's just completely true. I got really lucky to be able to date a man with a family that's as cool as mine :) }}
