“California” — Joey Ryan

“Know I love you, California
When I leave, I know you wait for me
Cause in the sun and in the weather
No one else has loved me better
California you’re the place for me”

I made it back to Malibu, to my home and my family and my friends. This morning, Amy and I had breakfast at Le Pain one last time. It was a gorgeous day and the food was delicious (as always). It was such a fun moment. After that, time FLEW by and all of a sudden it was time to leave for the airport. It was SO sad saying goodbye to people, especially the Newmans and Alanna. Also, it was sad to say goodbye to the house and room 6. I will miss living there.

The flight went great. Natalie, Amy and I were in one row and it was perfect and spacious and awesome. I watched a couple movies and listened to music and all of a sudden we made it to LAX. It was crazy coming back on the group flight because it made me realize how much has changed since our first group flight to London in September. We didn’t know anyone so we all sat by each other and were awkward and stuff, but now we know each other so well. People I didn’t know existed are now some of my favorite people in the world. Anyways, we made it through a ridiculously crowded customs and found our bags in a sea of suitcases and went to greet LA.

We had the BEST greeting I have EVER received. Nathan and TimO and Rachel were all at the airport and I was SOOOOOOOOO happy to see them. I wanted to cry it was such an awesome moment. I just couldn’t stop smiling and hugging them. Seeing them all made me realize how much I have to look forward to in being back in Malibu. Yes, its sad that the London part of my life has ended, but there is SO much more ahead of me and I want to soak in every moment of its awesomeness.

Amy and Rachel and I, with my family, stopped at In n Out and saw CAROLINE there!! It was incredible. I missed her so much, also, In n Out was delicious. Me and Amy and my family had a fun ride back to our house. We laughed and listened to music and it was super enjoyable. I love my life.

Every moment today has been awesome. The people that have become like family to me are beautiful. London is beautiful. LA is beautiful. My friends are beautiful.

I hope to have one more post in the near future where I look back on the overall experience and what I have learned. This blog has been awesome. I feel like saying goodbye to it is like saying goodbye to a really good friend. I think ending it is the right thing to do though. It has been good for me in London, now its time to soak in every moment as it happens and love it. Maybe I’ll blog again someday though…if I just miss it sooo much. But I will do one more post, so don’t worry loyal readers!! ;)

I love you all sosossososo much. Goodnight from MALIBU!
