Moves and Grooves

So Brendan and I have secured our new apartment. It's a charming little thing in the Adam's Point neighborhood of Oakland. Every so often I think of moving back to Berkeley or out to San Francisco, but no, not right now, not when Oakland holds a big piece of my heart. This is where I learned who I am at the core and how I'm capable of a lot more (and sometimes a lot less) than I think I am. I hella love Oakland.

Nevertheless, I forgot how much I hate moving. Especially because I realize how much crap I've accumulated in the past year. How does one person come to have so many material possessions? I have no idea. AND...this weekend while Brendan and I will be combining those material possessions and cohabiting, it's also my birthday weekend! Eeeeeeeeeee! I'm pretty jazzed about the whole thing. Got the perfect outfit, the perfect itinerary, and the perfect group of friends to be around. Life is pretty awesome.

I year Anniversary

Brendan and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary this past weekend. It was soooo nice! Everything about it was perfect. We went wine-tasting in Napa, then spent the evening in Sonoma with Josh Marcus and Sarah at Sarah's lovely home. Just the whole vibe of the entire weekend was full of life and positivity. It was great to have delicious meals, lively and educational conversations, watch silly movies and sleep. Gawd, the sleep was great.

Once again, I'm reminded of how lucky I am.
