The end is near...!

Or rather, the end is here. Okay, I realize that probably makes me sound crazy. So please allow me to clarify, the end of my month long (give or take a week) hiatus is over. For those that aren't aware, we recently moved. Not down the street from our apartment. No, not a city over, or closer to my work. We move out of state... and way over on the other side of the country! We took a 6 day road trip from West Bloomfield, MI to San Jose, CA. And boy, let me tell you, San Jose, Palo Alto (where I work now), and heck California as a whole just blows Michigan out of the universe. We love it here! That is honestly putting it mildly. We've lived in 4 states now (UT, PA, MI, and now CA), and visited (for at least one day) 9 states (WA, VI, DC, OH, NE, WY, IN, IL, IA) within the last year (give or take a few weeks). From the moment we arrived in CA and started interacting with people we realized we had found our home.

Seriously. If you have never been to CA, do it! Now. Like, right now. As in, stop reading this post, book a flight or hop in your car and head to CA. This weekend would actually be an interesting time to visit, as Pride is this weekend, and I hear that the San Francisco Pride Festival is one of, if not the, biggest in the world. Unfortunately, we most likely wont be going this year due to other things that have come up. :/

I have several posts I'm working on (including the next few installments of the "Digital vs Physical" series). As well as a few videos. Here's what to look forward to in the next few posts:
  • Digital vs Physical (Should be wrapped up by the end of July)
  • New series: Long-Haul Reviews (these are reviews I'll be posting about products I've "put through their paces" for at least 3 months, as I feel this helps give more accurate depictions of how well things really hold up, such as laptops and TV's)
  • Posts about our trip with loads of pictures
  • Posts about video's I'll be releasing on YouTube: "Is it worth it?" (Junes LootCrate recently arrived and the video is in the works), videos from the trip, Aldingbrooke apartments review (where we live in MI for 5 months), a quick tour of our new apartment in San Jose, and a few other ideas I'm working on 
  • Pictures. An INSANE number of pictures from the trip (~1500). I'm trying to dwindle the pile down to the gyms. 
  • I'm also working on a post (that may become a mini series) about CA!
Thoughts? Ideas? Complaints? Something else? Leave it in the comments! :)
