It was Mike's birthday this last Friday so we decided to go out for BBQ. We have both been wanting some good BBQ and were really excited when we saw a joint right up the road from us! It was terrible! Haha! We will never eat there again!
Apparently there aren't any good BBQ places here. We have searched the internet and asked people. Unless you want Chinese BBQ... There is a lot of that! Good thing we got Mike a new Grill for his birthday :) I can't wait to try it out!
We found a grocery store up the road from us that sells really good brownies in their bakery. So after our bad dinner, we went over there and rented an equally bad redbox movie, and then picked up a package of chocolatey good-ness. I'm just glad we got those brownies. After the bad dinner and terrible movie, they saved the night. haha.
^^New Ping Pong paddle = one happy birthday boy^^
We went to Downtown Niles on Saturday and went to all the little antique shops. It was so fun, and to top it off, we shared a delicious banana split to continue the birthday celebrating.
We also picked up these fun buttons. Have you taken a steak break today?
We are slowly figuring out this new city, and trying to make it feel more like home. It's been a hard couple of weeks, but each day gets better and better.
We went in to San Francisco the Saturday before last and froze our tails off! We had so much fun and made our way to Ghirardelli square for some hot cocoa and a hot fudge brownie. We were so cold, and I kept stopping to rest because of my contractions, and Mike kept telling me "we can just come back later" but NOTHING gets in the way of this mamma and her Ghirardelli! I had my eye on the prize. That Hot Fudge brownie was calling to me and it was totally worth it!

The community here is very different, and the city itself is so different from home, but we are warming up to it. It's going to take some time, and it's hard, but it'll happen. Mike LOVES his job. He's doing really well, and I'm so proud of him!

So there's your update. Sorry it's not more exciting!
Contractions??? You shouldn't be doing that yet girlie. Hope you find a doc/midwife/doula/person who can help you have this bambina soon.
ReplyDeleteYes they were pretty bad before we left Utah, so my midwife told me to stay down and not do anything. I haven't really listened to her, but I'm starting to think I should have, and am taking it a little easier now :P
ReplyDeleteWe miss you!
