2 more weeks

The end of the summer is quickly coming to a close for Gabe and I and we have different excitement levels about the fact. Gabe is counting down the days and ready to head home any day now because the work load has significantly picked up for him. As of last month he had two technicians working for him and he pretty much let them have all the jobs so he and I could just spend some time together and enjoy the summer. The work really slowed down and the guys weren’t getting many jobs so they decided they wanted to go home early. They left last week and now Gabe is in charge of installing every single job and it’s starting to wear on him. And just his luck, the work picked up quite a bit once he didn’t have any help.  So for his sake, I hope the next couple weeks fly by. He can’t wait to go back home and start school again. I on the other hand am not so eager to get back. This summer has been extremely fun and relaxing and I am just not ready to go back to work. At all. I am dreading it in fact. Because of that reason, I don’t want the time to go quickly. But besides that fact, I am excited to see our family and friends and be back in our home. I feel like so many people have gotten pregnant or had babies since we have been here and it will be fun to see them all. I miss my family and can’t wait to be close to them again! A couple days ago we reserved the same apartment that we lived in last semester and we are SO excited about it. We didn’t think that it was going to be available, but we got lucky. That apartment really felt like home to us and it was hard to leave it thinking we wouldn’t be going back to it. We are a bit nervous to see what condition all of our belongings are in though. I don’t remember mentioning it before, but we had a HORRIBLE moving day. We moved everything into a storage facility and by the time that we arrived, it was down pouring rain and hail on us. Better yet, the rain was going in the direction that it slanted right into the storage unit on all our stuff. So we shoved everything in there as quick as we could and left. I’m most worried about the mattress that got set on top of our brand new couch… hoping there won’t be a divot in the couch cushions! But whatever, can’t do much about it now. For those of you that would like to know, we are planning on leaving for home on Friday the 27th. Let’s hope the time goes fast… and slow :)

  1. If you have time, you should go to Berkeley and stop at Talavera Cafe. It was everyone's favorite place on our trip... I'd go back just to go there :) hope you enjoy your last couple weeks!
