Another Day Another Destiny

Brennan's View at Work As I was sitting down to write this I looked over at Brennan and said, "what did we even do this week that's blog worthy?"  He started thinking and said that he couldn't remember what we've done this week. Our lives have become a perfect routine and we feel fully adjusted to our summer life. Well too bad that this is my last week of work and Brennan only has two more weeks left, then we will go through a whirlwind of activity until we settle down again in Provo. There was a Relief Society Summer party this week, and we had to bring desserts to share. Of course, I want to fit in with all the amazing Silicon Valley Sisters so I wanted to make a nice dessert which I did. I found this awesome idea online which was basically oreo fudge like deliciousness. Basically, it was oreo crust then frosting mixed in with more Oreos and then frozen.  ( here's the recipe ) Everybody liked it.  Also, we had our summer party in someone's back...

I'm supposed to be helping Brennan plan our Europe trip right now. It is way too hard. Trying to decide what museums to visit and attempting to get tickets is proving to be quite the challenge. I understand why people use travel agencies now. Well since I need a good distraction I'm going to update the blog. Last week was jam-packed full of new experiences, fun adventures and a doctor's visit. Hang on tight while I tell you all about it. Our festivities started off with going to see "Spiderman" on Tuesday. First off here in Silicon Valley $5  Tuesdays turn into $6.50 Tuesdays. say what? But at least we still got a deal instead of paying for $13 a ticket.   Also, one of my students from my old job was visiting family in the area so he came with us! It was great for me to catch up with him and see how everything is going back at the school. The movie was great. Best movie I've seen all summer. The best part was all the awkward high school scenes. So for ...

Brennan says that I start every post with how fast time is flying so I will refrain from mentioning that in my opening paragraph. However, I will mention that the views of this blog are dropping dramatically, so make sure you read my posts, or else I will have no reason to write them!  The highlight of this week was our weekend camping trip, but before I get to that let's rewind and start at the beginning. For work this week we had fewer kids at camp, so I was asked to work at another location where they needed more staff. I worked in San Carlos which is just a couple of miles from where Brennan works so we got to carpool every day to work. That was sweet. At the San Carlos camp, I had the opportunity to work with the younger age group (the Kindergarteners) and I had the most fun time. They are sweet and innocent and love playing any game you tell them. We played with the parachute one day and that was probably the best day all week. These kids could stay entertained with a par...

Another week in the books. Seriously time is flying by this summer, I can't believe it's already July. Still not exactly sure where June went. This last week has been packed with fun adventures at work as well as exploring. Bee Sting  The biggest event that happened to me this last week is that I got stung by a bee, right on the lips. No joke. There I was riding minding my own business as I rode my bike to work and then BAM out of nowhere I see something fly towards me and that fill this intense jab in my lip. I quickly raised my arm and brushed whatever was up there down onto the ground, but that didn't stop the immense pain I was feeling in my lip. It felt like a had 100 needles just poking on my lip. At this moment I was still on my bike and I didn't really know what to do. I couldn't just stop riding because then I would be late for work. I thought about turning around and going home but realized I was halfway to work and work was downhill while home was...
