Ok, please tell me you just sang the theme song from Full House in your head! Being here and going downtown (I will get to that story soon) always makes me want to sing that song! Loved that show as a kid and I have been known to watch a re-run here and there. I just wanted to come here and move into one of the Painted Lady's. Since I am not currently living in one of those cool houses with Danny, Uncle Jesse, Uncle Joey, DJ, Stephanie, or Michelle I will just fill you all in on the hotspots in the Corrigans lives, like…Oh yes the DMV!
DMV Awesomeness!
So Adam and I had to officially become Californians. We took a little adventure to the always enjoyable DMV. Of course Mattie had to join us since none of you have moved out here so we would have a babysitter. Keeping a 2 1/2 year old entertained while we had to fill out paperwork, get tags and take a written driving test was not easy. Why yes you did hear that right, I said WRITTEN DRIVING TEST!!!! So we are in line, haven't even taken the test yet and she is all antsy and all over the place. Being the smart mom I am, I say "here Mattie play with my phone." Little did I know that she would end up documenting our whole DMV experience.

| Say Cheese! |

| Can't leave dad out, |
 |
| Look I can take a picture of my finger |
 |
| The water fountain |
 |
| Maybe she liked those shoes. (Lets hope not!!!) |
 |
| The pole and her finger again |
 |
| The she got into other pictures and decorated them. I still have no clue how to take her decorations off the picture! |
Needless to say I had to delete about a million random pictures off of my phone when we got home. Successful trip though. Adam and I passed our tests and will be receiving our licenses in the mail in a week or two. Our cars also now have legit California plates!
Halloween Fun
We had a really fun Halloween. Mattie and I did some baking earlier in the day and then after dinner we had some trick or treating fun!
 |
| Mattie doesn't like to wear pants when she bakes. |
 |
| She had flour all over her and me! |

| Princess Sofia |
 |
| A little unsure at first |
 |
| What is this stuff you call candy??? It is awesome! |
A Birthday and a Really Big Bridge
On Sunday since it was my birthday we took a fun trip to the Golden Gate Bridge. I had never been and really wanted to do something fun and memorable on my 31st. Did I say 31st? I meant 29th ;) It was such a great day. We had so much fun and ended up getting to see the most incredible views of the GGB. We drove to Battery Spencer and on up to Hawk Hill. If you are going to see the GGB this would be my recommendation.
Such a great way to spend my Birthday. California really is such a beautiful place. We walked around and took it all in, then it was time to head back home. When we got into the car Adam decided he wanted to drive over the bridge. I started laughing of course. After 5 years of marriage and 9 years together I know nothing stresses Adam more than driving in the city. When I stopped laughing I realized he was serious. So off we went over the bridge. I will say that we both thought that as soon as we got over the bridge we would take an exit turn around and go back. That didn't exactly happen. We accidentally (thanks to our phone GPSs) ended up driving in the middle of downtown!!! Yikes!!! Thankfully Karen (the real GPS) decided to start working and she came to our rescue and got us out. Oddly enough Adam was calm and collected and I was the one sweating bullets!

| Going over the bridge before things went wrong :) |
 |
| I'm freaking out!!! |
 |
| Mattie was not freaked out about driving in the city. |
After we managed to navigate our way back to the wonderful suburbs, we rewarded ourselves with a little treat.
Great weekend here in San Fran. We became legit Californians, rocked Halloween's socks off, and Adam made sure I had an unforgettable birthday! Awesome!
XOXO
