soaking it all in

today was my last sunday in san francisco. i can't fully wrap my head around it and every time someone or my brain tries to bring up the fact that i'm leaving i literally have to say  "stop, don't even talk about it". i've been soaking up every second of this city, we've crossed the city many times and back to check things off of our lists.

i'm also soaking up my time with this kiddies. my boss keeps apologizing that she's working me so much and i keep having to tell her i'd rather spend time with the kids than anything else. yesterday morning, me and 3yo were outside walking, it was very peaceful and quiet and he noticed and said, "mi, it's very quiet" and i said, "yeah buddy i know, it's kinda nice huh?" and he says "actually, it's really nice" it was the cutest thing. and it got me thinking, when i first got here, the only things he could say were mom, dad and ball. and now i can have a full conversation about how nice and peaceful the morning was. it's going to break my heart to leave that little boy. and the sassy little miss, and the smartest 9 year old i know. but especially that little one. he's seriously my best friend.

i know, i know "all mia ever talks about is how excited/ sad she is to leave and how much she's going to miss it" buuuuuut... it's kinda my life right now. to make up for my sappiness, here are a million more pictures from this weekend's exploring.

i'm so domestic

what great weekend. my lovely aunt, uncle and cousin drove out to good ol SF for my uncle randy's birthday. we had a jolly good time at the beach, crossing bridges, eating ice cream and feeding parrots.

"if you had to eat the same meal over and over again for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?"

say in this world, there is no such thing as unhealthy food, i would live off of the stevens' family chocolate muffins with peanut butter and homemade maple syrup. omg, i want it right now.
