No weight loss this week. I had cake. And I lost my will power. I didn't work out as hard consistently throughout the week either. So I'm bummed I sabotaged myself.
Within the last 48 hours I've become seriously homesick as well. I'm not sure why. But I ache for Utah. I miss our families. I miss my friends. I miss the mountains. I miss the cheap and family friendly places to go. I miss the restaurants. I miss Temple Square and the LDS culture that abounds. I miss Home. I want to call my Mom to talk about it, but I know I'll just cry and cry, which would make me feel a bit silly since I'm almost 30.
We have a rough plan to get back to Utah within the next 10 years. It's going to be hard work. It's going to take sacrifice and saving lots of money. But we want nothing more than to go home!! Being here has brought us a lot of blessings, and I can't deny that we know it's where we are meant to be right now. But the idea of still being here in 15-20 years isn't the most exciting one ever. We want to get back and pray we can make our 10 year goal.
Sorry to be such a downer... it's just how I'm feeling today.

Chris and I are debating whether to move out of state or stay here in Utah and reading your post already makes me sad about leaving state. I'm sorry you are having a rough day. It's true, we all do miss you here in Utah and we think of you often. I hope you have a better week in general! Love ya!!
I totally understand, just remember that life is hard here too. Family is awesome to have close by, but sometimes....well, you know ;)
Very true. Although, as sad as it sounds, there is way more that we miss than just family!! We miss the Utah "culture", and our favorite places!!
Christina, it is such a hard choice. And one we made after a lot of prayer! But I would suggest doing all you can to stay in Utah! That way you'll still be around when we get back! :)
It is different here. I tried to live somewhere else and it didn't stick.
I can't wait to have you back!
I'm pretty sure our 10-year goal is also to end up in Utah, because that's where family is and that's where we can afford a house. But I'd feel the same way about leaving California behind and going into the whole Utah culture (sorry, but it's really not my favorite).
