J and C in California

I know it’s been a while since we’ve posted, but this deserves an announcement!! This afternoon my sister Kaitlyn got engaged to her boyfriend Phil.  We are so happy for them. Phil is a wonderful guy and they are great for each other.  We look forward to their wedding and many years to come!!!

This past weekend, Jesse’s sister Erica and her boyfriend Dan joined us in SF for four days. They came all the way from Waterloo, Ontario. It was so nice to have some familiar faces around and show them what little we know about our new home. Erica planned an action-packed itinerary and we saw all the [...]

My dad told me to make sure we watch the famous 9 minute long chase scene from the movie Bullitt with Steve McQueen from 1968.  It’s filmed on the streets of San Francisco, and most of the super hilly scenes are just a few blocks from us. Tonight we were thrilled to find that someone [...]

Hi everyone! Sorry for the long time we’ve taken to write. Jesse and I are doing well and the flood is dried up. We are going to be living permanently at our new place after the weekend is over. Last weekend, Jesse and I earthquake-proofed the entire place, which meant affixing every bookshelf and tall [...]

UPDATE (10am): The flood at our new place was caused from junk in the pipes that haven’t been used for 2 months while renovations have been happening. The people above us had a shower this morning at 7:00am and all of their shower water filled up our tub, which then overflowed. Thankfully, it wasn’t as [...]

Yesterday Christen and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary! Christen spent most of the morning and afternoon at a WordPress conference in the city here which gave her the chance to meet some people in the web development community here. Afterwards, she joined me at our new apartment (still littered in boxes and packing paper) [...]

Sorry it’s been a while since we’ve posted an update. This past week has been crazy! We are finally having our stuff delivered to our new place tomorrow morning. Tonight, we went to the apartment to do the apartment inspection and everything looks in good shape.  We’re excited to move! Jesse is asleep on the [...]

Today we went to the beach with Parker. On the way back, we stopped at a small restaurant called Liverpool Lil’s.  We should have asked to see the menu before we ordered our drinks because everything on the menu was seafood (and we aren’t big fans yet). We decided to order deep fried calamari.  It [...]

We finally went and bit the bullet and stood in the LONG iPhone line.  Jesse’s iPhone is in the mail, but he didn’t take long to find the LightSaber application and try it on mine!  Check Facebook for my new number and SMS me.

Today I cut a big fat cashier’s check to lease our new place on Nob Hill. Tomorrow morning we finalize the deal and sign the lease.  What a relief!  We’ll try to post some photos of it when we can get inside to look around and take measurements.  Jesse had already booked all of our [...]
