Sunshine in San Francisco =)

So being back in the city has brought me back to my happy place. It's been absolutely beautiful in the city, and crazy HOT! I swear I left Sacramento to get away from the heat and it's like it just followed me here. Good and bad, I still get to work on my tan and not go back to pastey white. Always a good thing for me and the people around =)


San Francisco is truly one of my favorite places to be. I mean what more could a girl ask for than this beautiful background!

I love being able to catch up with old friends that I didn't always get to spend time with and spend time with my BFF! It's made me realize that I missed San Francisco more than I thought. The people I knew I always missed but just the atmosphere and the sense of "home." I know that this isn't where I want to be forever but right now it's just perfect.





I've decided that I'm going to have a couple goals while I'm here. First off, I want to finally walk the Golden Gate Bridge. I've lived in San Francisco pretty much my whole life, and have driven over it numerous times, tried to walk it once but it was FREEZING! This goal is very doable it's just a matter of getting up and doing it. Another thing I want to do is go to the Academy of Sciences and Exploritorium. I haven't been since I was in elementary school and I think that it would be a great outing for my nephew Joseph and me. I just recently went to a farmers market with my mom this past weekend, and loved it. It's so nice to be able to taste and smell what you buy before you buy it. Also to know that you're helping out smaller business' is always a plus, so I'm going to try and going to a farmers market at least once a month. I know that I'm not going to really be saving money doing this but getting it right from the source is unreplaceable!


Some unrelated San Francisco goals and more personal goals include. Find a job, get back into going to the gym and finally unleash the Zumba lover that I am, making a more conscience effort to what I am eating. I've always been happy with who I am but I'm at the point where I hate being limited as to where I can shop. I want to just walk into a store and know that I can just pick something off the rack and not have to worry about if it'll work with my "Brennick" thighs. The past couple months have been all about change so maybe it's time to change the outside me too!



Well dinner is almost ready and I still have to make some cabbage so toodles for now! Thanks for reading, until next time!

I miss....

These faces! Just a couple of the faces that I miss from Sacramento, but on to new things here in San Francisco. Like wearing socks, shoes, scarves and jackets all day in the middle of summer! Sounds great, right!? haha! Enjoy the cute faces, I wish I got pictures of all my favorite dogs from work before I left, but that just means that I'll have to go back and visit!

xoxo,
Toodles!

Today is a new day!

As each day goes on and I embrace what the day will hold it's a great feeling knowing that I have an awesome support system. People that I always knew that would be there if I needed them have really shown me that this is indeed true. Of course there at times when I question if what I am doing is the right thing or am I just taking the easy way out. Then I coem to the realization that today is a new day and I can do whatever I want.

I can't remember the last time when I really had nothing holding me down and I could really do whatever I wanted. Honestly, it is kind of overwhelming when you have so many choices to pick from. The world is at my finger tips and although I always knew this was true it didn't always seem that way.

Closure has been a big part of my life the past week or so and when one door closes the next one opens. I'm not sure where this next door will lead to but I'm willing to walk right though and embrace whatever is on the other side. I know that it could be something that in the end is not right for me but I'll never know unless I try. I'm very lucky to have been brought up with a family that I know loves and supports whatever I do, even if they don't agree with it. They ultimately want me to be happy and are willing to let me to take on that next door even if they think another one may be the best decision. I've said this before but this time is for, ME! This pharse is somewhat new to me, as I've put people before me a lot of the my life. Learning what I want is so much harder than I expected it to be, but I'm willing to put in the work to figure it out. It's about damn time I do!

Until next time, enjoy your day!
