Mike's an overachiever. If you didn't know that ... you need to spend more time getting to know him. Needless to say ... because he's an overachiever ... he graduated a semester early. Much to Danielle's dismay of course. Because that meant he was leaving. Mervyn's Headquarters was calling him to California to work. And Danielle was only in her Sophomore year and had to finish.
We figured it out ... lots of phone calls. And emails ... a few visits here and there and the first couple months of long distance dating was over. Then Danielle asked the question to her parents that which she thought of course would be a resounding "not no but hell no". "Can I live in Cali with Mike for the summer?" Instead, mom and dad Price shocked her. They said ... sure. WHAT?!
So we spent 3 months living and working together ... in sublet in North Beach. Although we loved it we decided that'd be out one stint in the City. Danielle walked each day to Fisherman's Wharf to work in the restaurant that her parents once dined in on their honeymoon. And Mike crossed the Bay Bridge to head to Mervyn's. Living in North Beach meant lots of yummy food and toursists. Especially when you are living one block from the bottom of the crookedest street. At the end of that summer ... Danielle went back to Boulder.
Another year of school ... another set of trips back and forth ... another summer "vacation" in Cali brought Danielle and Mike to live together in Walnut Creek this time. Walking distance from downtown Walnut Creek was great for summer fun. Wine festivals and close to Debbie and Gary made it a great summer.
