The End is Near

We have enjoyed our time in California so much and Brennan is so in love with his job, and I am addicted to Ghiradelli Chocolate that we have decided to come back! That's right Brennan has been offered a full-time position with EA next year and we couldn't be more thrilled! Let me brag about Brennan for a second because he is too humble to do it himself. He has been working extremely hard this summer making sure he got all his projects done and always having a very professional persona. During his last two weeks, he had to present to a group of higher ups about what he learned/gained during the internship. He gave a great presentation and they said that it was the best presentation they have ever seen from an intern.  Also, one of the top leaders in EA Finance said that he is one the best intern they have ever had! I don't think I will ever be able to express how proud I am of my husband. Not only did he knock his internship out of the park but he did a great job at balanci...

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 ...

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 ...
