After 3 weeks in southern California, Bryan flew to Maine for work and I finally booked myself a return flight to North Carolina. I'm so sad to be leaving Orange County, but I'm not going to lie... I can't wait to get back to my house! Cali has been in California since Easter, so it's time to bring my Carolina girl back home and get back into the swing of things in the south.
