A month ago, I left my home in the San Diego area to road trip 2,800+ miles to New York with my husband and dog. I talk about it more in this post, but we moved back to the east coast where A and I are originally from after almost a decade living in beautiful Cali, and are currently looking for our next home in coastal CT.
