Hello, old friend.
It’s me.
And I feel ready to get back on the blogging horse again. I actually really love this blog. And I’m so glad I blogged so often in Brazil. It’s already such a pleasure looking back on so many memories. Good ones and crazy ones and ones that I’m glad are behind me. I’m excited to get recording the adventures of our lives here in San Francisco. We are already so smitten with this city and say to each other- at least weekly- something along these lines “can you believe we actually get to live here?!” We truly feel blessed to be here.
Over the past two months we’ve been settling into our apartment, doing some exploring and making new friends. McKay’s business endeavors are going well. He’s getting tired of fundraising and recruiting but has made some good strides in these departments and is hoping to be able to focus more on building his app within the next few weeks.
The kids and I are doing great. It’s nice to be settled into our own place again, speaking English all the time and enjoying pleasant weather and great food and a vast spectrum of people.
There are more playgrounds than we know what to do with here.
There are too many parking rules {we’ve learned most of them the hard way}.
There is a really good ice cream shop just down the street.
We love our ward.
We are feeling so at home and at peace here. We know it is exactly where we should be right now. It’s interesting, I was expecting to miss Brazil more. And it’s not that I didn’t absolutely love living there, because I did. I definitely miss the people we came to love there. And I have such fond memories of the weekly farmer’s market and beach trips and friends and food. But this is home now. We came here with big dreams and open arms and have been embraced right back.
We love you, SF. Here’s to another chapter!
