My, my, how quickly a year can pass. It really doesn’t feel like we’ve been married (more than) a year now, and yet here we are.
For our 1 year anniversary, we trekked back to Pittsburgh for a few days to do everything we missed about Pittsburgh. A lot of it had to do with food.
We…
- Had a BBQ at Brian’s and hung out with friends both old and Nilesh
- Retrieved our cake from Brian’s freezer for traditional pigging out
- Went to Kennywood and did not ride the Turtle
- Visited Flagstaff Hill and the Schenley Park Visitor’s Center
- Ate at the Grand Concourse
- Ate at Bangkok Balcony
- Ate at Uncle Sam’s
- Ate at Dumpy’s Rib Shack
- Went to the South Side (twice)
- Went to Mt. Washington
- Played 9 Square (and Dodgewall!)
- Forgot to eat at Dave and Andy’s or Rita’s (Oops!)
It was a magical time for all involved, and the sorry forgetful fact that we managed to forget D&As and Ritas simply means we’ll have to return to Pittsburgh at some point. We finished most of our cake (leaving the icing, which had become its own entity, it seemed), rented a pretty sweet Mitsubishi Eclipse while we were there, and managed to see the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile. All in all, a very enjoyable anniversary vacation to our hometown.
As a bonus, Katie got to fly back to San Francisco in first class. I played Puzzle Quest on my DS.

This Friday, June 15th, People Magazine’s first “Real Weddings” edition hits newsstands. Why should you care? Because WE’RE IN IT. Apparently good things come to those who post ridiculous wedding dances on youtube.
But that’s not all! The CBS morning show is doing a segment on the magazine on Tuesday, and they apparently intend to show the video clip itself.
In other news, Scott’s dad came for a short visit in early May, followed a few weeks later by Katie’s sister, Tracy. Everyone seems to approve of the apartment, except possibly the cat.
For Memorial Day weekend, we drove up to Ashland, OR (about halfway between San Francisco and Portland) and met up with Katie’s parents. Katie and the old folks enjoyed the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s production of As You Like It, but would have liked it more had Scott not had to stay behind in the hotel, sick.
We’re hoping to get back to Pittsburgh in July for our first anniversary, if for no other reason than to finally eat the cake that’s been taking up space in Beej’s freezer since we moved. Honestly, I don’t think either Scott or I got more than a bite at the wedding…hopefully that mango filling is still good a year later.

He left for work with a folder full of paperwork, and came home with an armload of Sims 2 Expansions!
Also in this photo: the view from our second-floor apartment, and an angry looking Princess.

We arrived safely in (sort of) sunny California on Wednesday evening, after four days of travel on I-80. Not much to see, not much to report. There were a few patches of bad weather in Ohio and Wyoming, but luckily we came out unscathed.
Thursday we visited a number of apartments in the Belmont/San Carlos area, and settled on the first one we visited. We turned in the application and paperwork; now we’re just waiting for approval to take possession this weekend. We’ll send pictures when we actually get into the place.
Thanks to everyone who helped us pack, took our unwanted junk, and kept us in their thoughts as we drove cross-country. Especially you, Corn Dog.

of telling us not to leave?

we leave behind job holes and an empty apartment. So, if you or anyone you know is looking for:
- A job at the City Theatre box office
- A technical writing/design/communications job at a software company
- or a very nice 2nd-floor-of-a-house apartment in Shadyside
Please, let us know soon. Also, if you’ve got any tips or leads on some good, affordable housing out in San Mateo or Redwood City, we’d love to hear from you.

to the San Francisco bay area! I got a job with the Sims Expansion Pack team at EA in Redwood City, CA.
I’m very excited to be an Assistant Producer, and – what’s more – this’ll mean we will both get to hang out all the time with old friends Hunter, Lakshmi, and Mayhew. While we’re both a little sad to be leaving Pittsburgh and all of our wonderful friends here, we’re also quite excited about the temperate weather and change of pace that this new step in our life will bring.
