I have to email a link to this to my blogging partner, who was in love with The OC. We’ve covered two episodes of it on our site, and she has it on her “to-do” list to keep recapping all the episodes.
It’s a lovely story and incredible pictures. Man, now I want to go to LA too…
I drove from Chicago to Los Angeles when I moved there a few years ago. I wish I stopped to take as many beautiful pictures as Rachel did. Even after spending two years in LA, I came back to Chicago with surprisingly few pictures. Except of palm trees. I had a weird obsession with taking pictures of those.
I’m so glad Rachel got to experience Cinespia’s movie in the cemetery — it was my favorite thing to do in LA.
I loooove Cinespia! I went to several of their screenings this past summer…it’s the perfect way to spend an evening, and I never have to worry about the weather, because it’s always nice here!
Thank you, Ameena! It’s easy to take a place for granted, especially if you’ve been in that place a long time. I definitely took Minnesota for granted when I moved there, and one of my goals is to never stop seeing LA with fresh eyes. =]
I could go on and on… I love, love, loved this post. It was so relaxing, and fun to read… You are my Seth Cohan. Really, I will be daydreaming of Cali all day long…
I’ve been a reader of Rachel’s for quite some time, but this post takes the cake.
Cassie & Rachel, keep up the great work!
XO
PS – Please tell me you tweeted this link to Seth (or whatever his name is in real life LOL)… I’m sure he’d really appreciate that all this is because of him…:)
Thanks for your kind words, everyone, and thanks Cassie for letting me do this guest post! I had so much fun writing it…it was great to hash out my thoughts about moving and what led me to where I am today.
My couch is always open for anyone who wants to come fall in love with California as much as I have! I’m told I make a damn good tour guide…=]
Yay! I LOVED this post. I was obsessed with the O.C growing up; to the point that I occasionally thought the characters were my real life friends…
And I’m going to move to California too. Every time I visit, it feels like home. I’m so glad it turned out to be everything you hoped it would
Move! Move! Move! If you ever have any doubts, talk to me…I’m its biggest advocate. =]
I’ve already started looking for jobs! I hope to move this summer; I will definitely be emailing you
We should all hang out when everyone is relocated.
YES PLEASE! I’m so excited!!!

Oh man, totally going to find the recaps now…I would be an avid read if she did that.
What a great post! Well done Rachel for taking the leap!
Thanks Kylie!

Such a great post…I live in LA and I guess I take so much of it for granted! So glad that you love it out here. Your story is very inspiring.

Haha, I never thought of that…intriguing idea! I’m not sure if Adam Brody has Twitter, he’s probably far too cool for mass social media. =P
DOO IT.

SOO lovely to have you, dear. I might have to take you up on that couch offer.
