first weekend back in San Diego (officially)
Wednesday: we finally pulled in after having to turn around outside of SF Bay to crane off our broken helo (with Ryan Hawn as the pilot, it was great to see him again, regardless of the circumstances. so we got to San Diego a day late. I met up with Briede and we started house shopping in PB before my meeting with a potential roommate Julianne in Mission Beach. We drove around North PB and saw a couple potentials, one i loved and scheduled a showing for Thursday. We met Juls in Mission Beach, and it is South Mission Beach. it was a forever drive and there was no room for my stuff besides a bedroom. she was super nice and i am sure we would have been friends. i said i would let her know by the weekend my decision. Briede and i met up with a couple of his friends who are on AT out here at Ra Sushi downtown before a nightcap at The Local.
Thursday: i worked. after work i took a long walk around North PB, looking for FOR RENT signs. Started at Beryl and Mission and walked to Gresham and zig-zagged until i got to Diamond St. man, i love the neighborhood, maybe someday i can afford to buy one of the houses in the area. the showing of 915 Diamond St went pretty well and i met some new friends including Conor who is a prior SEAL and from WA state. he and his roommate really wanted the place, so i had to get all my stuff together fast and when they opened on Friday. Mariners are in town this weekend! I had dinner with Ari and Kenji in Mission Hills. the udon was not so good, but the company was.
Friday: i ran to the Convention Center and did some stairs. hour and 10 wonderful minutes. felt terrific. i went to the beach and grabbed a Mexican Mocha from Kono's. I submitted my application for 915 Diamond at 10am. Conor and Justin didn't. i went to the beach before heading downtown to pick up my friend Jen Tietz for the Mariners/Padres opening game of the series. what a sweet place she has downtown. looks furnished. she is moving in August to Norfolk, booo. she has moved 7 times in 10 years. i dont want that for myself. Mariners won!
Saturday: Marcus, Drew, Kara and i went to Torrey Pines State Park for a hike. we doubted Marcus' definition of "hike" but it turned out a lot of fun with some elevation change. it was about 5 or 6 miles. my pedometer is not accurate in that respect. I met Conor at his house before heading to Petco Park. rockin' the Mariners jersey second day in a row. after another MARINER WIN, we went to Whiskey Girl (the downstairs mellower part).
Sunday: woke up early at Drew and Kara's and headed back to the ship to shower/change and get ready for church at Barrabas Road. they moved locations to Ingraham and Diamond (5 blocks from my house!!!!) i introduced myself and hung out with my (only) friend Elizabeth (prior P-Hope). the Gospel was preached boldly, the community was friendly and Monday i will go to Coronado to meet more of the girls. Church search over and done before it really started. Praise the LORD. went for a walk with Karen and her daughter Ashlyn and hung out with Kara and Drew in the afternoon. Mariners swept the Padres, no longer last in the AL West.
Monday: got the cashier's check from Navy Federal for my security deposit and signed the lease. it is definitely May Gray here as i sit at 976 Cafe a block and a half from my house. We were charged as a Church yesterday to take over the coffee shops of PB and La Jolla, so i did a study on 1 Cor 8-11 this morning before energizing my Mac. no real plans for the rest of the day besides not working. i am acting XO for the next two weeks, so a lot of work will follow. i checked my email this morning, so that was good.
i am at my earthly home and stoked to be here.
be blessed
