Muir Woods

Joe and Bianca came to visit this summer. They always take me somewhere new. We were able to visit Muir Woods. It was very beautiful and calm. I could not believe how tall the trees were.

Boggle

David and I are Boggle fans, but we like to challenge ourselves. Our house rules only accept five letter words. We had to special order a larger boggle grid that is a 5x5. It is no longer available in the US so we ordered it used from the UK. It took about a month to get here, but we love to play.

AMD party

David and I attend a party sponsored by AMD on the USS Hornet the carrier that picked up Neil Armstrong when he came back from the moon. David was able to see all the latest computer gadgets and we both enjoyed the free food and touring the ship.

Serena's Wedding

On August 1 I was able to attend a beautiful wedding. One of the first grade teachers from my team married a fourth grade teacher. So cute! Their reception was on the top floor of the tallest building in San Fransisco. It had unforgettable views of the city. Truly breath taking.

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.
