A Love Letter to My Temporary Home

Dear Bay Area,

Happy 6 months!

I didn’t plan to stay with you for very long. I was just passing through, taking a break from the bitter, snowy winter of Utah. But after a few weeks, I just knew 4 months wouldn't be enough.

Cause basically, you stole my heart.

You stole my heart with authentic Chinese food. You stole my heart with your green hills in springtime. You stole my heart with nerdy street names like the corner of Research St and Reliance St. You stole my heart with perfect weather almost all year round.

Like every relationship, we have our bumps in the road. Literally, in your case. And don’t get me started on traffic, or parking, or basically anything that has to do with cars (or BART). And I’m a little afraid that someday soon you’re going to get the shakes.

But everyone has their quirks. And your positives far outweigh the negatives in my book.

So let’s toast to our unlikely union. I’m sure you’ll have a wine glass in hand with something probably from the Santa Cruz Mountains. I, on the other hand, will toast you with some green power smoothie filled with kale and whatever else.

Cheers, Bay Area! Cheers to six wonderful, life-changing months. And cheers to our future months together.

With love,


Sarah
