It's been exactly three weeks since I've moved to San Diego and things have been off to a good start. Shortly after my last entry, my transfer went through with work and I started working at Anthropologie in Fashion Valley. I really like it there and everyone is super nice. Not to mention my first week as a part timer, I worked about 35 hours which was awesome! And then just this week, I was promoted to Senior Sales which was great news!
I think my body is finally starting to adjust to working that many hours on my feet. It definitely takes it out of you! That first week I worked, I would just come home and collapse. It's taken some getting used to but I can finally say this week has been much better. It may have something to do with the new Mephisto's I've been wearing (thanks Mom and Dad!).
I also had some friends from Charlotte come out for a week. Cassie and Chad hung out and also managed to squeeze in a cruise during their stay. It was nice to see some familiar faces, especially since I haven't been able to get in touch with anyone back east since I've been here. They even knew someone out here who happened to live down the street (crazy!) so I'm slowly meeting people.

Fish tacos are pretty much one of the best things out here in CA. This is actually a lobster taco but you get the idea. There's this great mexican place a few blocks down the road that has fish tacos for only $.99!!
There is a dog beach in San Diego, actually I think there are a few but the only one I've been to is in Ocean Beach. Even if you only like dogs just a little bit, it is the cutest thing to see dogs playing around in the sand and splashing in the water.

I've been spending a lot of time in Ocean Beach on my days off. It's only about 10 minutes away which is really great. On Wednesdays I found they have a Farmer's Market so this past week I decided to check it out. I brought back a few goodies and meanwhile, wished I was doing more cooking. I just found out that North Park, the area right beside University Heights (where Andy and I live) is going to start having a Farmer's Market! This will be much closer, and hopefully offer a variety of things as well.
Andy and I went on another mountain bike ride with our friend Orlando that we met during the group ride. We rode a trail around Lake Hodges and I had a lot of fun!

Andy bought me some sweet biking shorts so here I am in my biking attire:
Andy and I went to a Padres game at Petco Park the other week for free, 14 rows behind 1st base. It was really fun and hopefully we can catch a few more before the end of the season.
