Internet Down

We had an internet catastophe on Tuesday. Every once in a while our internet shuts off. This seems normal to me, but this of course is unacceptable to David. He gets frustrated if the internet is not functioning at the highest speed. I woke up Tuesday morning to the note "Don't touch anything in the closet the internet is down. " David didn't want me to reset the internet because he needed comcast to come see that it was down. He called Comcast and they couldn't come until Wednesday. This was the best news that I have heard all summer it meant David would be all mine and I wouldn't have to compete with the computer. We played games,ate dinner together, talked, and watched T.V. I wish the internet would go down more often; however, all good things must come to an end. The next day I recieved the following text from David. "Tech showed up. We checked the logs and everyone in our area is having the same problem. I'm of course just the only one to follow through and report it. " (I think that this proves David is on the computer way too much. ) The second text he sent said this "Not only that, but the problem was exactly what I thought it was" Wow! a students with a Masters Degree from Stanford in networking diagnosed the problem. David gets a gold star.

Note: David with his two wives.

Party

I had a super party for my friends John and Darcy who are moving to So Cal. We played games and had a lot of good food. Thank goodness for Facebook so we can keep in touch.

Key emergency

On Thursday I ran into a small emergency while leaving Bed Bath and Beyond. I put my key into the ignition and it got stuck. I couldn't get it out. I tried to remain calm, but the silly thing just wouldn't budge. I tried to jimmy it out, but then the key broke off. I was left with half a key in my hand at the other half in the ignition. I paniced and closed my eyes for a minute because when I do something really stupid I think that if I close my eyes and open them it might be a dream; however, when I woke up I was still in my car. I sat contemplating the situation I was in. I thought is there anyway to get out of this without calling David; however I soon realized this was impossible to solve by myself, so I sucked it up and called my husband. Anyway long story short. Luckily with the broken key we could still turn on the car so I drove the car to a lock smith in our ward. He got the key out and made us a new one. I definately have the best husband ever. He didn't complain once and he even had to cancel a meeting. I am now that crazy wife that does silly things and makes her husband cancel meetings and come rescue her.

Note: The broken key is next to the big key in the picture.

Volunteering

This summer I decided to volunteer for a christian organization that offers a summer program to children in East Palo Alto. I'm really having a great time. I work with five students on reading, math and writing four hours a day Monday-Thursday. I also helped plan the curriculum and train other volunteers. I was so bored last summer that I'm excited to have something to break up the day. Plus I just love the good feeling you get for volunteering.

Cold Play Concert

On Monday David and I went to the Coldplay concert. I think it was the first concert I enjoyed thanks to the great ear plugs David got me.

Uncle Jerry's Party

Over the Fourth of July, I was able to go to Uncle Jerry's party in Blackfoot, Idaho. I had a blast. I love going to Idaho it reminds me of when I was little and use to go visit my grandma. It is also the only place I can float down the canal, take a bike ride down country roads, watch illegal fireworks, and have donkey races. I can't wait to go next year.

Madelynn's visit

My niece, Madelynn, came to visit me this summer again. Her visits are one of the best parts of my summer. I love having her company and it gives me an excuse to hang out at the beach, go to San Francisco, and go to the amusement park.
