Settling in to Gilroy

We've been stationed at our new apartment in Gilroy, CA for a few weeks now, and it feels more and more like home. We still have some pictures to hang, some clothes to put away in closets, and some other minor figuring-out-where-things-go to do, but it's nice! During our first week there, Ben moved all our stuff (by himself!) into our apartment from the basement, while I attended a pre-requisite Microeconomics course at MIIS. During the next week, I helped set up our house, and Ben started his serious job search. I even got to take advantage of the proximity of San Francisco, taking an impromptu class with Rose Harden one day.

Now, in our 3rd week, I am attending my school orientation while Ben and the kitties hold down the fort. We look forward to when Ben has a job so that our schedules are a little more aligned and he doesn't feel so lonely (and the income'll be good too).

Gilroy is one of the little towns in the "Salad Bowl"--the part of California that produces up to 30% of the nation's produce!!

I'll post a little intro to our apartment once it's finished being put together. We've also had fun playing pool and bowling with some visiting friends, not a block from our place.
