Why GypsyLivin?

2010: the start of a new decade.
2010: the year we try out dual-state existence: Colorado and California. Apparently we have a thing for states that start with a C. We always aimed to become sensible, grounded, grown-ups one day. But after 5 years of marriage, we're well into our mid-30s and it still hasn't happened. We're nomadic, even when we intend on staying put, and we kinda like it that way... so why fight it? Instead, 2010 is all about embracing a dual-state life, a little bit o' GypsyLivin.

Six years ago we moved to Boulder from San Francisco. We adore Boulder and our peeps there so much... the mountains, the sunshine, the community, the plethora of outdoor play. It's all such good stuff! And yet... after a few years of living in the middle of the country surrounded by upper-middle-class-white-folk just like us, we missed - no, craved - California's diversity. We're talkin on every level: every type of terrain, culture, food, ethnicity, race... you name it! Oh, there is that one little feature that we missed: the ocean. Yeah, I suppose that counts for something as well! Sooo.... here we are.... back in California for a couple months, trying on for size this concept of living a Cali-rado life. We're currently in Solana Beach (see photo above), enjoying San Diego's north county lifestyle. More on that in a future blog... I have some catching up to do first. Here's to a fantastic year!
