Weekend Update

After Mike's first week back to work, 

and my first week  looking for a job, 

it was nice to have a -normal- weekend again. 

Friday

The cats feasted on newly found food, 

while I made cookies, 

and then Mike and I watched 61*.

It's actually a really good movie. I knew hardly anything about Mantle & Marris, 

or the Babe's record, or really baseball, but I liked this movie and

I definitely think it made me a bigger baseball fan. 

Saturday:

Mike and I used our outdoor fruit supply, 

along with the Juicer from my mama, 

and made AWESOME OJ. 

Then Mike took Shiva for a run, 

which took her a while to recover from. 

Then we headed downtown to Original Gravity Public House, 

for gourmet grilled cheeses & awesome beers. 

Mike and I then spent the night playing Mario Party. 

I beat him. 

TWICE. 

Sunday:

Mike made breakfast burritos, 

to go with our fresh juice, 

and then we all hung out and watched 

former NC STATE qb Russell Wilson

beat the Redskins. 

All in all, another successful weekend!

Whose ready to start back tomorrow?

Not me, that's for sure. 

  

Horray

pssssssssssssssst. 

we got a house. 

I said, WE GOT A HOUSE!

I don't want to show you a ton of photos of an empty house. 

But, I wanna give you a glimpse. 

Let me tell you,

house hunting 3,000 miles away from home, 

is not easy. It's hard and when there's serious competition, 

it's scary. 

But, karma, the Universe and God were all smiling on us, 

and we got the one that we wanted the mostest. 

wanna peek?

By the way, there are no lights on in ANY of these photos. All natural light kiddos.

Breakfast nook

My sink, looking into the side yard. 

Ok, so the tile isnt pretty. New appliances are VERY pretty.

Sweet Master Suite

DOUBLE. SINKS. 

Not pictured are the dining room, second bathroom, 

the guest room & office. 

Y'all. 

I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the warm thoughts, prayers,

 and crossed fingers that helped us get this place. 

You're all welcome to say whenever you want.

Weekend Update

So, we're in San Jose currently. 

House hunting, like ya do.

----

Friday

Most of this day is a blur. Including the ridiculous flights and airline drama. 

The SFO airport is covered in various works of art, 

including scupltures, paintings, and religious relics. 

So, of course, we hunted down Shiva. 

By the time we arrived to our hotel, it was upwards of 1am (4am on the East Coast,)

and I was tired and hungry. Mostly hungry. 

So, we headed to Taco Bell for some 4th meal and inspiration.

Saturday. 

Up bright and early to start the hunt. 

No photos of that part, 

but I do have photos of the DELICIOUS pizza, 

that was a welcome respite in the middle of the day. 

Another round of house hunting, 

remind me to do a post on "How to NOT rent your house..."

and then we were back to the hotel for a nap. 

Then we went out for sushi. 

Ok, sushi and berry short cake. 

Then we went back to the hotel, where I passed out by 930. 

Sunday

We started out this morning with brunch. 

11am and we ordered drinks. 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?! 

Not in Cakalakky anymore..

 When we were finally done with the hunting, 

we headed out to San Francisco for some sight seeing. 

Specifically Fisherman's Wharf at Pier 39.

Oakland Bay Bridge

The fog rolling in. 

All Smiles @ Pier 39

Beer Tasting

There was  a WHOLE STORE with Lefty products. 

Boats

  

I bought a hoodie, because it was FREEEZING. 

This rings pretty true for the two of us. 

THEY SPELLED MY NAME RIGHT ON A MUG!

Donut? Nope. MAGNET. 

SEA LIONS!! (And me at work)

Desperately trying to see Alcatraz through the fog. 

Nighttime. 

 Now, we're back at our hotel. 

After getting HORRIBLY lost in downtown San Francisco. 

Y'all I READ A MAP & got us home. 

(this is a bigger deal than you think)

We fly back to NC tomorrow. What'd y'all get into?
