See the Sea (But not the Sunset)


Summer part two has officially begun for me! I had my last day of camp Galileo and now I'm off to party for the rest of the summer! Last day of camp was bittersweet. Am I going to miss the annoying kids and the hot sun? No.  Will I miss the cute precious children and the endless fun games we played? Yes!  Even though camp has ended I am super glad for the opportunity I had to work at camp Galileo, I learned many new games and had great experiences. Unfortunately for Brennan, he is stuck at his office for another two weeks :( so no summer fun for him yet.

This weekend we made plans to visit the beach and watch the sunset. However, because we live in the fog of San Francisco, the beach was covered in a huge cloud and was cold and there was no sunset. Crazy weather. It was sunny and nice the whole drive until we got off the freeway. We still had fun running around on the sand and exploring caves. Also, we've been on a titanic kick lately (I made Brennan watch Titanic so the song was stuck in my head all week) so we sang the song at the beach on the rocks (rather, I sang the song while Brennan told me people were looking at me weird).


Not much more to report for the week. Brennan is super busy with work and is working oh so hard. We still love California and are trying to cherish our last couple of weeks!

when breakfast becomes fish food

Can we just take a step back and realize how fast the summer is flying by? We've already been out here for five weeks! Next week we will be reaching our halfway point, that seems oh so crazy. Our California Adventure just keeps getting better each week. This week Los Altos was hit by a heat wave and we both almost boiled to death. Brennan had a fun week at work with conferences and outings while I was left to fry at my own job. Over the weekend we snuck to Monterey again and had another splendid Saturday! First, let's talk about Brennan's amazing week. He had a three-day conference at his work, with lots of meetings and breakout sessions and then fun party stuff. His work gave him breakfast every day and then in the evening he went out to dinner with his co-workers and then they also did finance team bonding activities. One night for their dinner they went to a restaurant/bar and Brennan had his first experience of watching everyone around him drink alcohol and practice

Sand,Strawberries and SUP's

Well, we've barely been in California a week and we decided to take a trip! We drove down to Nipomo California and spent the weekend with the California Murrays.  We had an action packed weekend and really enjoyed seeing the ocean and soaking in some vitamin D.  On Saturday we went paddle boarding with my Aunt and Uncle. We had an adventurous paddle that was basically like a going through an aquarium. We passed sea otters floating together and we also saw Sea Lions chillin on the boat docks barking loudly. We paddled all the way to a cute little lighthouse and enjoyed walking around and taking in the view. My favorite part was a giant swing that overlooked the ocean. While swinging you felt like you were flying over the ocean, I did not want to get off. Saturday afternoon we went to the Strawberry Festival, a local event the city has once a year. There were lots of strawberries (which are basically straight from the field) and lots of booths with crafts from local artists. W

Forgetting about New Year's Resolutions and other New Year thoughts

Image
I feel that this last week I've seen so many posts on social media about what goals people are setting as New Year's resolutions, and what they want to do to change their lives for the better. Two things crossed my mind when I scrolled through these posts. Number one, why does it take a new year for people to make goals? I guess I understand new beginnings and starting over, but if there is something that you want to change in your life, why do we have to wait for a new year or a new month? Why can't we just make the change daily? I'm sure there are some people who do try to set new goals throughout the year, I just wish it was more of a thing. We don't need to wait to change our habits, we just need the motivation and grit to make the changes daily, weekly or monthly. My second thought was, "wow I have been so preoccupied about having a baby that I haven't even thought of any goals or new years resolutions that I want to make." (really in my mind t
