about that blog...

Yes, I have been neglecting the blog world. Ever since we moved here I feel like all my free time/weekends are spent grocery shopping, doing laundry, cleaning our apartment, sleeping, and gearing up for another hard work week. As such, the blog has been sitting at the bottom of my list for a very long time. But I feel a need to document this time in our lives, so as busy and hectic as it is, the blogging will continue!

We are loving our new home here in the bay area. We live in a cute little apartment in Emeryville, right across the bay bridge from San Francisco. Mike works in Emeryville and I work in the city (most the time...depending on the client). We both work pretty long days throughout the week. And although we are both getting awesome experience and learning a ton....we live for the weekends! We have a great ward, and are lucky to get to go to church right next to the temple. The food here is fantastic and the weather is perfectly fall-like all year round. (but I must admit I am missing the snow a little bit...)

After living here for three months now, I've learned a few things:

-You can never predict traffic

-I do not like chicken feet

-An open seat on the BART makes my day a million times better

-Timmy Lincecum is amazing

-Rain boots are a must-have item

-Baking is so much easier at low altitudes

-Target (as much as I love it) is even better with shopping cart escalators

-Coming home to Mike is the best part of my day :)

Here a few pics to begin my blog catchup...
