Home - August 5

It's been a fun but hectic five weeks back in the States visiting family + friends. We arrived home, yes HOME, late Friday night. That first view of the Golden Gate and the cubist mass of the city beyond made my heart swell and brought tears to my eyes. We picked up the keys from our property manager and made our way to 199 Valmar Terrace. The house is empty, but the power + water are still on. The yard is mostly dead, but other than that, it's not much worse for the wear. We woke up Saturday and headed to Marin for a 2-day party with many of our closest friends in our Garage Mahal group. The weather was sunny + beautiful and the love we received from so many people still has me floating on a cloud of euphoria. Thank you, thank you!

As for the rest of you - We've got a VERY busy few weeks ahead of us, but will try to squeeze in as much quality time as we can. Our priorities right now are patching + painting and trying to get connected to the grid. Any suggestions for good but cheap cell or internet service? Until then, our main point of contact is via e-mail, which we're accessing in 30 minute increments at our local library. Inconvenient, but better than nothing. Also, feel free to just drop on by to say "Hi!" Can't wait to see each and every one of your beautiful faces :)
