…3 of us were living like sardines in a studio apartment in Vancouver. It was a humble downgrade coming from a 3 story, 4 bedroom condo in Los Angeles. Vancouver is a beautiful city, but not when you’re forced to relocate. Not at first anyway.

It was time for me to go to LA and pack up everything. The day was July 3, 2006. My 30th birthday and I was on the road again, by myself on a 1600 mile trip to reflect. Not exactly a happy birthday. My life suddenly changed drastically.

Then she flipped out and started yelling at me!
