I got everything unpacked last week. Nothing on the walls yet. Waiting for Kristen's husband to help me with that.
Last Friday I went to the beach!! It was just as perfect as you would hope it would be. I went with Kristen, her mama, and her kiddos. I took Makena out into the waves and she LOVED it. That little thing was squealing with delight as we jumped (or as I lifted her in the bigger ones) over the waves as they crashed. She only decided she was "all done water" when her little teeth began chattering and knees knocking from the cold. Friday evening I grilled out with some neighbors by the pool.
On Saturday Kristen was at her parents' house in Poway so I went over and literally did nothing with her. It was awesome. It's been almost ten years since we lived together so when we see each other there is an urgency to do, see, and talk as much as possible to not waste any time. But since we can see each other with a forty minute drive there isn't that pressure and it's just so great to just be in each other's presence and enjoy. That evening my apartment complex was having a luau so I went back to the pool for some delicious food.
On Sunday I went to a new church more towards downtown SD. I really enjoyed the sermon and the people but realistically I probably won't attend there regularly as it took 35 minutes to drive there and that just won't be feasible when school starts. So I will look more around San Marcos. After I hung out with some new friends. We did a local street tasting. You buy a ticket and then you walk up and down the street presenting it at different restaurants and you get to try something they have prepared. Lots of yummy food. Oh my goodness I was stuffed. After that we went to a bbq at a guy's house that I didn't know. :)
Taste of Adams with new friends
Totes So Cal
Sunset last night was crazy pretty.
Today was, like I said, lots of chores. I'm writing from my patio, lounged back in my chair and watching the occasional plane fly overhead so don't feel too bad for my "chore day".
There is still so much to do and see (and eat) down here. I have a lot on my list to do. I signed up for a sailing class in July and bought a groupon for a cooking class so I'm looking forward to both of those. Tomorrow I am going to go to La Jolla and check out their second hand stores with friends. For those of you not familiar with San Diego area; La Jolla is pretty fancy and well to do so we will be seeing if there are any score findings there.
I find myself saying lots of new things including but not limited to:
Man that guy is driving slow.
Man that guy is driving fast.
Oh my gosh, I think that guy almost just hit me.
Shoot, what highway am I supposed to be looking for?
Well I should probably go...it's 3:30 and traffic is going to get bad soon...
Mmmmm that was delicious.
All of my swimsuits are in the laundry.
Why do I live on the THIRD floor?
Oh yeah that is definitely not how it is in Missouri.
(Answering "Where are you from?") Well I'm FROM northern California...Eureka...the redwoods? on the coast? Well its like four hours north of San Fran. But I have been living the last five years in Missouri. Yes it is quite different.
Why are those kids STILL screaming in the pool?
Miss everybody!! OH! Before I forget my principal called last week and she asked if it was okay if they switched me to second grade to which I said YES! :)
