My flight experience

I arrived at the airport with and hour until my flight. I'm barely worried, I know that I can make it through baggage check and security with no problem. However the girl behind did not have that same confidence. She constantly expressed her worries to the guy in front of her, I couldn't help but over hear everything she said. The guy was nice to her but I could tell he didn't care too much. He kept reassuring her that she would be fine besides his flight left ten minutes before hers and he didn't show any sign of anxiety.  Finally we all got up the counter and as I checked my bag in I saw the guy run pass me with his two bags to get to the security  line. And I mean he was really running. ( so much for not being worried about missing his flight)  So he waited in that whole line just to get his boarding pass....I don't think that he even checked in any bags. Wow that was a total waste of 20 min of his life. Has he ever heard of the internet and early bird check-in?  As I made it up to the x-ray machines I noticed that worried girl was behind me once again, and she acted like the world was going to explode. She was quickly putting everything in bins and taking her shoes off for security. (As a side note did you know that people over the age of 75 and small children don't have to take their shoes off at security....kids are so spoiled these days). There was still a good twenty minutes before her flight, and it's like she thought that at that time the flight attendants seal the door of the plane. She was freaking out so much I had to double check the time to make sure I wasn't going to be late. Well  I never knew what happened to her after we went through security together so hopefully she made it to her flight. That would be really embarrassing if she missed it.   I of course made it to my flight on time, and because I'm traveling by myself on Southwest there was an empty middle seat at the front of the plane which I snatched without hesitation.  I had a layover in Phoenix and I believe that the Phoenix airport has the air conditioning on way to high. I felt like I was going to freeze at the airport.

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

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

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
