Some Of The Things I Will Miss In California

Of all the places I have lived before, which is quite a few, I will miss California... San Diego the most!!  Living here has really been a dream to me.  I just love it like no other!  I will cry for this place when we are boarding the plane to move.

If you have never been to Cali, you are truly missing out!  It has everything.  And I mean everything!  It has beaches, mountains, lakes, desert, farm land, flat land, everything!

Here are a few pictures that shows you what I will miss most!

The desert lands near Edwards AFB, CA.  Look at that view!  It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. The desert is a magical place to live.

 Desert foliage.  The yellows will knock you over in the spring.  Who would have thought?

The windmills in the desert snow!  Yes, it snows in the desert sometimes!

Another view from atop the mountain.  The sky line is always amazing. Desert with mountains. Love!

San Diego Skyline from Coronado Island.



Camping at the beach!

Starfish!

Farmers Market!

Beautiful Flowers!

Nice Fruit!

I really could go on and on!  There is SO much I love. I will have to write another blog post about it!  You might get sick of it! ♥

Monday Mantras


One of my favorite blog links...Monday Mantras with A Cat Like Curiosity!  I love being inspired by all the things that inspire others!

Here are a few things I am feeling inspired by today!
State Charms!! Loving the California one front and center!  I want to order one for all the states we have lived in... FL, TN, NC, VA, CA.... So Cute!!



Infinity Scarves!!  I have recently acquired about 5!!  I can't help it...and really you can make any scarf into one if it's long enough by either tying it in a cute bow or sewing the ends together!



I am also finding tons of things on Pinterest..of course...that I want to do when I move!!  Love the colors and the "EAT" sign!  So easy and so cute!

  And a little love...♥

Good Southern Things, Y'all

Things I am looking forward to moving back to the south: Everyone says Y'all and Fix-n to!



We will go to Flea Markets again, not Swap Meets!


BBQ! There is just no BBQ to compare to southern BBQ!



My family! I'll be living in the same city as my sister and niece, and my mom and dad and the rest of my in-laws will only be 3 hours away! Closest we have ever moved to them!

Sunday Social



Linking up with Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup for the Sunday Social!

1) What is the name of you blog? How long have you been blogging? 
Well  the name of my blog is California Girl to Georgia Peach!  And I have been blogging at She's Mental for over a year, a blog about my mental illness, but this is my new blog about moving from CA to GA! Just started about a week ago on this one!

2) Why do you blog?
I started blogging to meet other people in a similar situation as me as far as being bipolar goes.  Now I am starting this blog to chronicle my move from Cali to Georgia.  Kind of a journal / blog.

3) What is the first blog you ever followed?
Um.... there are so many, I don't know if I can remember. I think it was my friend Tina's blog Bringing Along OCD.  It was the first time I saw I was not alone in my fight with Mental Illness.

4) What is your favorite post written in 2012? On this blog?? I started it in 2013 so it has to California Girl to Georgia Peach.  It made me realize the blog name I had originally picked was blah compared to this!

5) What are you blogging goals for 2013?
To write fun, funny, informative posts and pick up more followers!

6) Top 3 favorite blogs to follow?



Thanks for reading along!  I always check out your blog and follow back!

Lists... There's an app for that!

I have made a million lists since knowing we were going to move.  I can't stop and I can't seem to keep them all on one list in one place. I just start writing whenever I feel the urge, knowing there are more things to add to some list somewhere!  So I decided to google  "list maker" and this is what I found!

An app for my android phone... Astrid!  Right now I am using the free version, but I love it so far. It is so easy to make and keep and add on to any list I could ever dream of making. And I always have my phone with me so it's always with me!  It has a reminder option, and if your loved ones or friends get the app you can share lists and tasks and be notified when something is done! How did I not ever find this app before. I think I'm in love!

Add to the List!

There are a hundred things I think of everyday that I need or want to do before the move.  The moving inspector guy came yesterday and went though the house to get an approximate load size and value. In the process he added things I need to before they get here to pack.

1) Take everything off the walls.
2) Take down all window coverings.
3) Disassemble the trampoline.
4) Disconnect any wired appliances we are moving. (TV's, computers, etc.)
5) Set aside anything they are not to pack in clearly marked space.

Uh!  Take everything off walls... means take everything off the walls and dust it all.  Take down all window coverings... wash all window coverings.  Disassemble trampoline....do it at last minute so daughter doesn't whine about being bored.  Disconnect everything...last minute! I can not live disconnected!!  Set aside things not moving.... pack bags for trip in advance, make sure all laundry is done. Ugh.  More things adding to my list of a million and one things already!


On a brighter note, I bought our tickets to fly out today.  They somehow were $50. bucks cheaper than when I originally looked at them, cha ching!  And I got to call my sister with all the info about picking us up when we get there! Yay!! She is really excited which makes me really excited!!  So I guess all the stress of packing will eventually even out!

Uh...Name Change!

How could I not change the name of this blog after looking at my last post?  It just fits better!  If you're confused, it was Her Blue Moon now it's California Girl to Georgia Peach!  Yay!  Thanks for stopping by!
