sure, I worked other days during the week but I almost closed the store every Thursday evening from the time I began working there. I love the closing shift on Thursday's because I had "regulars." Thursdays are Market Night in downtown Redlands and people come from all over. I would say I had about 10 different moms/families that I could count on seeing those days.
I couldn't tell you who is working tonight but I hope they enjoy it as much as I did. I already miss it.
Tonight I'll be the one enjoying a different farmers (chefs) market with Kenley and some friends in downtown Napa :)
I havent been to Chefs Market since the summer before we moved when Kenley was born and toted her around as an infant... I mean DAYS old... we will see how she does!
This week has consisted of getting settled ie: change of addresses, final Riverside bills, new pediatrician visits (soooo happy with her new dr!) unpacking, seeing family and friends and a visit to Kenleys new SCHOOL!
Happiness is: driving with Kenley from Napa to Sonoma State on a Wednesday morning listening to Sarah and Vinnie...
We arrived at her little school (right on the SSU campus) where we met my MIL Patty around 10am. We first got a little guided tour by the school director. It was so nice because we had an appointment with her to sign paperwork and Kenley was able to explore without anyone else there! (I think they might do it like that on purpose)
So during the hour and a half that I met with the program director, Patty and Kenley got to play with toys, read books, explore each room and became aquatinted with what will be here new little "place."
I'm obsessed.
It might be the cutest little school I've ever seen. It is "sustainability" based... Meaning that the kids help grow in the garden (right in their play area) all the food that they eat! There is even a chicken coop that they collect eggs from every day. Kenley is fed all of her meals there... I don't have to pack anything! The whole place is set up so perfectly, I know she is just going to love it. I left so excited and relieved.
Kenley is adjusting well to all of the new changes going on and I hope she continues to do so when our schedules really pick up in a couple of weeks. I know she misses Gavin and we both can't wait to have him up here too... I know I will be feeling much more complete :)
Luckily he is flying up for his cousins wedding this weekend... And then back down to Riverside until he finishes summer school the first week of September.
My family has been nice enough to let Kenley and I stay with them until he finds work up here and we can then decide whether Sonoma or Napa county will be a good fit for us while I finish school.
As of right now Kenley has a little corner in what used to be my old room. She loves it and has been sleeping through the night! (which is a far cry from what she was doing right before the move)
Besides Gavin not being here yet, I can't think of a time I have been happier. I'm surrounded by beauty. I can breathe on my morning runs! I watch Kenley interact with the people I love most. I leave the house without her occasionally. I'm at peace.
