Homecoming

I'm returning to San Francisco October 4-7th! I've been seriously homesick for the place, and desperate to return. Nate and I have been discussing going on this trip for a few months, and I've been dying to show him my 'old life' since we started dating. So on Saturday we booked our plane tickets, and found a nice, reasonably priced hotel. I am so happy and relieved to be going on this trip. A lot of stuff was up in the air, and I was worried I wouldn't get out there for a long time. As it is, I haven't been there since last November. It'll be good to get four days of uninterrupted Nate-time. Even Audrey can't bother us! I envision sleeping in, grabbing breakfast at Tartine, lunch at Klein's Deli, Cancun, or Sunflower, wandering a neighborhood that I've missed, getting dinner at one of 1,000 places I miss, drinks with some old coworkers, rest, repeat. This trip is super important to me because of how busy he will be for the next 8 weeks. I'll admit I was getting some serious Jake deja vu with Nate becoming engulfed in bands. That stuff makes me intensely nervous, cautious, bitter, cynical, and a host of other attitudes/emotions that aren't all that fun or cute to be around. A stinky, muddy elephant has been lifted off my shoulders with this decision to take the trip, and I think it'll make me feel much more relaxed about life in general.
