Hey there, so it's been a while since we last posted. We've been BUSY! Hard to even say what we've been busy doing...feels like everything all at once.
Bryan had a few days of freelance work last week with a really cool design firm. And then he got a full time job offer from them! He's really excited about it and they seem like very good people to work for. Jenni also got a full time job offer that she accepted but is a little less excited to jump back into the working world. More work details to come once we're actually in the jobs...
Jenni's more excited about her new sport - outrigger canoeing (see pic). She had her first practice today and loved it although is worried she's no good at all. Oh well, it's fun and it's good for you! Plus, it's a good way to meet new friends.
Leave it to two San Franciscans to make friends over Craigslist... so far we met Vincent and his partner (his word, not ours) Theresa when we bought their couch on Craigslist and got the low down on Yoga in the Park that happens every Wednesday. And Mike sold us his desk and was nice enough to deliver it for us. Jenni met Julie, a recent arrival from Texas and catering manager at a hot restaurant downtown, when checking her ad for furniture. It's like a bonus system: buy Craigslist furniture, get a new friend. Actually, everyone we've met here has been incredibly nice and friendly. It's probably the best thing about being out there. That, and wearing flip flops 24/7.
We're also car shopping. A completely exhausting experience. We've narrowed it down to two cars - a Mazda and a Honda - both silver. Bryan has done most of the work and spent the morning with the mechanic as he did the once-over on the Mazda. If we can swing it, he'll be checking out the Honda tomorrow and then we'll make our choice. The Mazda once lived in the Sunset in SF and still has its parking permit on the bumper. It would be pretty fitting for us to end up with a car that understands our SF driving.
We're temporarily out of a camera (long story) so you have the excuse the generic image above and the lack of pictures of us. But if we had a camera we would share pics of two of our highlights of the week: grilling teryaki chicken on our roof deck and our night out at the cool jazz club our neighbor plays in - it feels very Manhattan or Chicago.
Have we mentioned it has rained every single day that we've been here? It must be some sort of record! We still have our San Francisco non-tans and must stand out as newbies everywhere we go.
