"No city invites the heart to come to life as San Francisco does. Arrival in San Francisco is an experience in living." William Saroyan
I am sitting in the lobby of the Fairmont San Francisco which shortly will be the location of my new office and thinking to myself fuck I live here, well after Sunday I won't actually live in the Fairmont, but I live in San Francisco. I have about 4 friends in the city (and I use the term loosely), minimal funds, a fear of getting on the bus because I hate doing things I don't know how to do in public and no apartment and all I can really feel is excitement with a splash (and by splash I mean about the amount of soda Mondays puts in a vodka soda) of fear. The second I landed in this city I knew I made the right decision and if weather in any indication of right decisions it was raining when I left Madison and sunny and warm when I got to San Francisco.
I know quotes are cheesy but the quote above is exactly what this move and San Francisco mean to me. I'm writing this blog not because I love to blog, if you know me you know I'm much more of a conversationalist, but because this journey is one I'm going to want to remember (plus once I'm a mom I am going to need proof that I did something daring so my kids think I was cool). Also now that my friends are all scattered around the country and we are busy with our own lives I don't want the distance to grow too big and lets be honest I need something to do with my time since I only have 4 friends tops.
