We knew we would stay for New Years and now it is time to start thinking about getting back on the road.
We spent the day doing some math, journaling, cleaning the RV and getting our things together in my moms house.
Morning of cards.
Then we went into the city to have lunch with Harel and Bende. Don’t think we’ve all been together since back in college. It was a real nice little afternoon. Good have us all together for a hot minute. And it’s always a plus to get in some Otis time.
January 1, 2020. We are officially in a science fiction movie in the future. It’s the year 2020.
Best breakfast. Fresh crab with butter…and…Isabella’s leftover ice cream pie. Can’t complain for even a second.
Nothing like playing canasta all day. Nagymama and Isabella are kicking mine and Vera’s butt. It’s beginning to not be funny anymore.
I always like going out to the redwoods to get a good walk in on New Year’s Day.
Julia’s came over a New Year’s Day dinner.
p.s. Happy Birthday Tucker!
Happy New Years! 2020. Crazy. I remember when it was New Year’s 2000. 20 years, since even then. Crazy.
Edwin and Vera had so much fun fishing last week that Edwin went back out today with Pete & Paul.
I still wasn’t feeling well, so had a pretty mellow day around the house and then getting ready for some festivities.
It was pretty mellow night, but ended up being better than I first though it may be.
Edwin, Paul, & Pete went fishing so we had planned to have a night of chucking and eating crab. Julia’s came over, Cunci, Pete, & Szili. Doubrava’s came over. Along with Okamoto’s. The fisherman were beat so everything mellowed out before midnight, but we still had a good time.
Another work day. Edwin doing things at 1700. The girls and I went into the office.
All of us fighting the after Xmas birthday cold. So all in all a pretty uneventful day.
Happy Birthday Isabella! 12 ! My little baby, a pre-teen. Boy do I remember being teased by my older siblings by calling me a “pre-teen” for my entire 12th year of life. Excited to pay it forward 🙂
It was a rainy day and Isabella sprained her ankle a few days ago so it was a perfect day for legos.
Julia’s came over for dinner and Isabella’s dinner request this year…Pesto Pasta and Caesar Salad.
Good day. Good vibes. Isabella is 12 and is now officially taller than me. What a beautiful, smart, lovely young lady she’s growing in to. I’m one lucky mama.
The girls have been sleeping over at Julia’s the last 2 days so after Julia took Isabella on a little pre-birthday shopping spree it was time to pick them up. Isabella was stoked.
And when we got back home it was time for party #2. This time it was with her 2 good friends from her class. We went to Jumanji and she had another RV sleepover. Lucky punk 😉
Happy opening day FITNESS SF TransBay.
What a crazy day. The gym opens at 9am this morning, but we went in at 6:30 to do the last minute things. The “lobby” furniture had to be put into place, last minute cleaning, electricians were still in the women’s locker room this morning getting the lights on.
My parents were in, Edwin was there, Mike, Zsolt’s girls were there filling up soap bottles and we only got out of the locker room at 8:52 this morning.
We didn’t know what to expect. It’s a slow week in the city. We hadn’t focused on pre-selling memberships for the Transbay location like they normally do. Basically they wanted to open up the club on time and be open before the end of the year. We didn’t know what to expect. I had even planned to go to the movies with Edwin that day in the middle of the day.
The day was Great! We had about 10 members waiting outside at 9am ready to work out. The gym was busy all day. We had lots of members coming to check it out. And even without the yoga, spin, and aerobics class rooms not complete we were getting real positive feedback. My brothers are really good at delivering a high quality product, both in design, materials, facilities, equipment, and layout. It was really exciting to see people excited enough to come on opening day, working out. I had gone to the equinox opening day last week to check it out…and you can’t say anything bad about the product they deliver…but when I was their on opening day there was exactly “zero” people working out there.
It’s an amazing space, in an amazing location.
Edwin and I were beat by the end of the day but we ended up going out dancing in the city for a minute to listen it’s my cousin Dee‘s husband spent in the city.
DJ Ober in the 🏠
Opening day tomorrow. All hands on deck. The girls happyily went over to Julia’s to play and spend the night so that we could go into work all day and not worry about the kiddos.
Still getting the lockers 100%. Doing last minute moving of the equipment. Lots of cleaning.
A lot of the sub-contractors are behind so they have continued working after we placed the rubber flooring and equipment was delivered. The result of this is there is a much bigger mess to clean up because construction is still occurring in places where the final touches are also being done.
I happily spent most of the day on my knees crawling around the gym picking up all the electrical wiring garbage left behind by the electricians that conveniently got stuck between the cracks of the rubber flooring.
We are going to open tomorrow. We are not at 100%. But if you had been here 1 week ago you would not have guessed that the gym would have gotten this far.
Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄 I love Christmas.
We nice little family Christmas in the morning. Waking up Christmas morning at my moms was bettter than I anticipated. We were all a little bummed not to be in our home, with our decorations, etc… but we had a real nice morning.
The morning was short-lived because we had 40 people coming over at 1pm so we quickly jumped into cleaning up/getting ready mode/party mode.
Of course we also had to do our traditional and most favorite holly cookies.
Christmas was lovely. Food was great. Family was mellow. Kids played. Families sang. Everyone had a good time.
