California to Texas

Hey Y'all!! So I officially made it to flat and hot Lubbock, Texas. The road trip was a long, but an eventful trek halfway across the country.
Day 1: We left San Diego at 2am and drove about 11 hours to Alamogordo, New Mexico. My best friends dad is a huge history buff, so he told us about this beautiful national park in this part of New Mexico. From the street you couldn't truly see the beauty of this place. Below are pictures of the White Sands National Park in Alamogordo, NM. 

Our hotel provided us with these sleds so we were able to hike to the top of the duns and slide down! 

Honestly one of the most beautiful sights I have seen. 

Day 2: Up at 6am to grab a bite to eat and get back on the road. After many road trip jams, long chats and pit stops we arrived in beautiful Texas. 

New Home!!! <3

After a 2 day, 1,050 mile drive to my new home I got to meet my two new AMAZING roommates and was reunited with my best friend again:) So lucky to have both of my parents to take me on this new journey. So much fun driving to new places with them. Love you both!

Can't wait to show y'all my new place!! Pictures to come.

My Last Hurrah!

So this Saturday was my last hurrah in beautiful San Diego (even thought it rained) before I leave this   coming WEDNESDAY. We had family and friends over for some grilling action, cake and games! Obviously I pulled out my flannel, jean shorts and cowboy boots for such occasion (I thought it was fitting) and the lovely Flour Power Cakery put a beautiful white shaved chocolate masterpiece together for dessert. Because of the rain we had to cancel volleyball and bocce ball outside, however we got to pull out Apples to Apples and Taboo. I am telling you, fun games and my family are an amazing combination of happiness and crying from laughing too hard.

Overall it was an incredible night of neighbors, family, old friends and new friends. I am one truly lucky women to have all those incredible people in my life that support what I am doing and are willing to send me off in such an amazing way. 

As a totally daddy's girl, we have to take a picture of us at every occasion. 

Sarah Clark. You could never tell that we are three years apart and I'm the younger one. Haha. We have known each other my entire life and even though you aren't blood, you are still the best big sister!! Love you <3

And of course the Wilbur family aka. my second family! We are only missing Brianna (best friend and roommate in Texas) and brother Zach. This family is the most kind-hearted, blessed and genuine family and I could not have asked for better! Love you <3 

I hope everyone has a happy Monday and a fantastic week! I will be at home packing up the rest of my nik naks and driving 1,045 miles to beautiful Texas! Can't wait to show you all!
