I really can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s almost here. It doesn&#8217;t seem real somehow. A lot of people are asking if I&#8217;m more excited or sad. Definitely both. In equal amounts. I&#8217;ve lived in the Bay Area for almost 12 years &#8212; since I was 17. So my &#8220;adult&#8221; life is rooted here but Southern CA will always be &#8220;home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I haven&#8217;t mentioned it here because I was waiting for official confirmation and I got it on Friday&#8230; my company is letting me keep my job and work remotely from home! YAY. When I gave notice back in December, I mentioned to my boss that I would be interested in working from home if she was willing to try it out. She sent a recommendation to corporate weeks ago and they finally approved it. \ud83d\ude00 Right in the nick of time since my last day in the office is tomorrow (Tuesday). I&#8217;m so relieved I don&#8217;t have to look for a job! Phew. Plus, I can wear jeans every day. WOOT. It&#8217;s always the little things that make me so happy.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Rob and I have been plugging away at our &#8220;To Do&#8221; list and as expected, we have hit all the foodie items. \ud83d\ude00 OINK OINK. Here&#8217;s what we managed to do:<\/p>\n<p>1. Have the BEST RAMEN EVER at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/santa-ramen-san-mateo-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Ramen<\/a>. <b>CHECK!<\/b><br \/>\n2. Have 1 really <i>nice<\/i> (but not necessarily expensive) dinner in San Francisco. <b>CHECK!<\/b><br \/>\nWe went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelmina.net\/mm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Mina<\/a> this past Saturday night and it was <i>amazing<\/i>. I was too chicken to take pictures (hee!) so here&#8217;s a rundown of our meal (we both got the 3 course dinner):<br \/>\nAppetizers &#8211; Ahi Tuna Tartare (mmm, melt in your mouth good) and the Trio of Dungeness Crab<br \/>\nEntrees &#8211; Maine Lobster Pot Pie (this was mine and it was so good I wanted to lick the plate) and the Trio of Brandt Farm Beef<br \/>\nDesserts &#8211; I opted for the Trio of Chocolate (the white chocolate panna cotta was the only memorable item) and Rob picked the Root Beer Float (awww)<br \/>\n3. Have ice cream at <a href=\"http:\/\/sketchicecream.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sketch<\/a>. <b>CHECK!<\/b><br \/>\n4. Walk around 4th Street in Berkeley. <b>CHECK!<\/b><br \/>\n5. Have the most AMAZING chicken and waffles breakfast at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.900grayson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">900 Grayson<\/a>. <b>CHECK!<\/b><br \/>\n6. Visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/berkeley.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC Berkeley<\/a> campus, look at the view of the Bay from the top of the Campanile, and purchase as much school paraphernalia as possible. <b>CHECK! And I have pictures too!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/campanile1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_campanile1.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Campanile!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/campanile2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_campanile2.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was pretty hazy so we couldn&#8217;t really see across the Bay but we could see the &#8220;Big C!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/campanile3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_campanile3.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>US. \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Finally, last weekend Rob and I were treated to our very own farewell BBQ.
