Jose passed all his classes with straight As! He's on his way to making the dean's list and hopefully take another round of challenging courses next fall. For now, we're enjoying the summer and the little vacation time he gets.
One of the drivers at his work was fired for reckless driving which culminated with a traffic accident right around Memorial Day weekend. The hunt is on for his replacement, who Jose then has to train and make sure is solid on everything. Unfortunately, that means our San Francisco weekend getaway is postponed indefinitely. That also means Jose can't come with me to my friend's baby shower in San Diego. I know this was supposed to be a *good* news post but we're trying to stay positive that they'll have a new hire soon. We're trying not to be too bummed when a monkey wrench is thrown in our plans.
We tried to make the best of our itty bitty non-existent vacation time by driving up the coast to Arroyo Burro Beach in Santa Barbara. We parked our car after the short 2 hour drive and found a beautiful spot in front of the ocean. We literally did nothing but watch the tide come in and make fun of the other beach goers. The water was too cold to swim but we had a great time people-watching and taking pictures. Sitting in front of the beach, snuggling with my guy, was better than any TV show I could imagine.We waited for sunset and just marveled at how beautiful California really is. We then drove to our friend Meghan's house in Ventura and had a couple of drinks at her birthday party before calling it quits around midnight. I want more trips like these!
Work is good for me. New projects, new responsibilities. I got Jose's sister Diana hired at my company and she is doing well as our front desk receptionist. Everyone loves her and I got a $100 bonus for recommending her. Jose and I spent it on a nice dinner and groceries hahahha....
Speaking of fancy dinners, Jose just turned 30 yesterday and we had a nice birthday dinner in Pasadena. We both had steak and the chocolate souffle was deeeeeeeeeeelicious.
We ventured into adulthood and got a real king-sized bed a couple of weeks ago. My credit is working wonders and I got a nice bed for a good price. My mom offered to pay $500 from the total since she wanted to do something nice for us. Now to find some grown-up sheets and a comforter. I know a certain someone who got a Nordstrom's giftcard for his birthday who would be willing to cover the cost of some nice sheets with a high thread count :D
Our favorite band was in town a few weeks ago and we had the best time riding the rail in the front row. Deftones is what brought us together and their music makes up part of our day to day soundtrack. It's going to be a nice life rocking out to these tunes with this amazing guy by my side...
