108 days ago, I joined in on the public creative challenge #the100dayproject. The annual project is hosted by artist Elle Luna and takes place over 100 days. This year we started on April 4th and ended on July 12th. The idea is to pick something creative, work on it every day for 100 days and…

So…good news! We are currently in Escrow on a house we LOVE in San Diego. In a few weeks, when the Escrow is closed, I have the keys and things are starting to settle, I would love to share the looong and crazy story of how this place came to be ours, but the short…

Oofta. We saw 17 properties in San Diego this past weekend. A little bit of everything – some places we couldn't quite afford. Some places that need a lot of work. Some places that just need a coat of paint. Some places that were totally empty and easy to visualize. Some places that were filled…

Almost every December, it seems, I get to share details about our next move. When Paul was in med school in Maryland, the hopeful plan was that he'd get assigned to the Naval Hospital in San Diego for his residency. In December 2009, we found out he had earned a spot there for internship. In…

I could seriously write a long love letter to the city – specifically Little Italy where we lived right after we got married. (Our apartment was behind those two non-blurry windows in the photo above!) I won't though. That's boring. Instead, I will just say this… spending a few days in San Diego makes me…

Hot damn, I have loved this city. Five and a half years ago, I sat with Paul on my parents driveway at 11:30 at night. We liked each other and we were trying to figure out if we could make a relationship work. He had recently joined the military and was headed to Navy officer…

e & p @ waterfront from elise blaha on Vimeo. I was enamored with these cute videos from Ruby of Cakies and decided to do something similar when Paul and I went to The Waterfront for the last time this year. (Obviously we'll be back the next time we're together in San Diego.) The entire…

Paul's college friends were in town this past weekend and we packed it full including the Tourist Trifecta : zoo, Padres game & beach. Sadly, my camera only made it to the farmer's market so all my other photos are iPhone photos. The Little Italy farmer's market is just down the street from our place…

There is a little place just down the street from us (and another one in the neighborhood next to us) that sells authentic Italian gelato. I don't remember if we actually looked it up or just stumbled into it last summer. But either way : we love it & make a point to go after…

Yesterday, I ran the San Diego Run Rock Roll half marathon (my rad friend veronica did too). I spent Friday and Saturday making myself sick with nerves but Sunday morning was pretty calm. We walked from my apartment to the start line at 5:30am and then took off around 7am. I went through highs and…
