Dental School in San Francisco






In January Eric was accepted into the University of the Pacific Dental School in San Francisco, CA, so we had been anxiously looking forward to the big move all year. Finally, in July, we quit our jobs and made the move up. We moved into a place called the Presidio. It's actually a national park, so even though it is right in the city, it's surrounded by trees and trails and the beach. Even better, the beach right across the street is called "Baker Beach" and we moved into the Baker Beach apartments.=)






I really had no idea how gorgeous it is here. The picture directly above is of Baker Beach. I can't believe I see the Golden Gate bridge everyday. We love it. Of course, everyone knows I think the weather could be warmer (it's hard to get tan when it's overcast =)) but it really is an amazing experience to live here. We've tried out a few restaurants and we're starting to get to know the city a little bit. It has so much personality.

Eric is loving school and doing very well. He rides to school everyday on his moped and it only takes him about 10 minutes or so. The schedule is quite rigorous, so we're learning how to balance study with play. He's doing great. It seems like we've been planning this our whole lives, so it's wonderful to actually be doing it!

Yeah! I'm so glad to see that you have a blog. We still don't have power after Hurricane Ike, but I'm at a friend's house doing laundry, checking the internet and loving the AC. Great times! I love your pictures.
