One year ago, Nate and I packed up his uncle’s 1983 pick up truck like a bunch of vagabonds and drove up the coast of California to move to San Francisco.
Since we moved to San Francisco….
- We’ve moved twice, from Laurel Heights to now - Hayes Valley!
- Nate started a new job
- I started teaching spinning at Core40
- We made a ton of new friends and had a bunch of visitors
- We bought two bikes, (had one stolen), and bought another
- We explored all over the Bay Area, from camping in Big Sur to wine tasting in Napa
- I shared some of my all-time favorite DCC posts, including this recipe, this recipe, and this personal post
- I made a significant dent in getting to know the SF food scene
- We got a car (!!)
- ….and last but not least, this week is my final week at my current job!
It’s still bizarre to write those words. I started at this consulting firm right out of college in Washington, DC and have loved (almost) every minute of working there. I met Nate at this job and so many of my best friends, and have worked with just some of the smartest and the best people. But, if you’re a long-time reader, you’ll know that this job requires weekly travel and that it was really starting to wear and tear. I am all about routine, and I really want to have a routine that is here in San Francisco - not in Spokane or Harrisburg or Olympia. So I was reached out to by another consulting firm, and they gave me an offer that was hard to say no to. I’ll still be doing the same kind of management consulting work, but at new company and all of my clients will be local to San Francisco! I already bought a lunchbox in excitement for all of the homemade lunches I’ll be able to bring to work!
I’m taking two weeks off in between jobs - for Hungry & Fit‘s wedding - and also to bop around California for a bit. I’m really looking forward to be HERE in San Francisco more, and hopefully that will mean more awesome content coming your way on DCC. I can’t wait!
