Finally signed up - awesome! I was in New Mexico for the first "Sunday Letter" so I'm just getting caught up w/ everything now.
Today I am in Sacramento getting the car worked on. There is no Subaru dealer or foreign car place in Stockton so I came up here to SAC to what's basically a CA version of Lou's shop - they only do Subaru but are not a dealer so it's much cheaper. We'll see how they do! They dropped me off at one of the malls here so I'm making use of the free internet. They were going to take me to some other, closer mall, but turns out some crazy guy barricaded himself in the GameStop and lit the place on fire! He wasn't killed but managed to burn down half the mall and put a few hundred people out of work until further notice. Only in California.
Molly is in Antioch at her elementary music job and she gets to do instrumental music today which is her favorite. So far we like CA pretty well, although the newness of it all has worn off and so now we fell like we're in the "regular life" phase, which is naturally not as exciting as accepting new jobs, getting married and moving across the country all within a one-month span.
Stockton is OK and it's nice for me since I can bike to work. But it's a bit of a commute for Molly so we will certainly move elsewhere some time over the next several months. It all depends on whether Molly stays with the Antioch job or accepts something else. It will be nice to get to a living situation where we can have more space (hopefully) and we can at least practice at home. We inherited an outdoor cat (Heather) so now we have way too many pets! And Sarah, in that picture of Roxy, I swear I see TWO dogs? What did we miss??
Can't wait to see everyone in just a few short weeks.
Hey Matt! So great to hear from you !!! Sounds like things are exciting in CA. Send/post some pics, soon! I have no sense of what Stockton looks like. Yes, Roxy is our NEW dog (actually puppy, again what was I thinking?) And Scruffy is there too (our old dog). So now we officially have 2. As mom said, it was just a matter of time. Roxy is a great dog so FAR. Very sweet and mellow for a puppy. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop (or get chewed as the case may be).
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we are all signed up. Get Molly on too!! She does such great posts!
