I have been busy. In the last couple of weeks, I have been doing something interesting almost every day. Instead of trying for long posts that capture every nuance, I will throw everything at you.
Before this story starts, a few notable things happened at the end of June. I was in a three car auto accident that resulted in no damage to anything. People were merging because construction closed a lane, but there was only 100 feet between the first cone and the complete closure of the lane. Everyone stopped and exchanged information, but the bumpers did their job!
Eric locked his keys in his car. I used my AAA membership to get it opened for him. This was around midnight after we saw Now you see Me and had In-N-Out.
Then I went to Las Vegas for Frank's bachelor party. I saw all the same people again a few days later for Independence Day. Ryan had a BBQ at his new house.
Then this jumps to the 9th of July.
Tuesday: Beach Newman meeting, young adult meeting at Long Beach church
Wednesday: Board meeting of OC Cal Alumni Club
Thursday: Happy Hour with OC Cal Alumni in Corona del Mar
Friday: Nothing (worked on fundamentals of engineering test practice problems)
Saturday: Cleaned my room, saw friend in modern blues band perform in Dana Point
Sunday: Spent the day with Frank and the groomsmen; got fitted for a tuxedo, had lunch, saw Pacific Rim, saw Frank's new apartment, went to the OC Fair, enjoyed a Krispy Kream sloppy joe sandwich
Monday: Happy hour with Long Beach friend
Tuesday: Beach Newman meeting, saw Corpse Bride, had cake from friends' wedding (a year after the wedding)
Wednesday: Went hiking at Sturtevant Falls with Long Beach friend (from happy hour)
Thursday: Nothing (show of my musician friend was cancelled at last minute)
Friday: Baby shower for Long Beach friend (same one as wedding cake), saw Angels game with Dave (including an Angels win!)
Saturday: Beach Newman officer retreat, camping in someone's backyard, Twinkies!, spending the night in a tent without a rain fly, experiencing rain, gave a great talk
Sunday: Finished up retreat, syrup shots at Denny's, went to Slater's 50/50 with Ryan, Dave, and Daniel for my birthday
Monday: Went to Lucille's BBQ for my birthday
Tuesday: Responded to all my birthday messages, Theology on Tap with Beach Newman friends
Wednesday: Hike in Peter's Canyon with Dave and Long Beach friend, tested new hydration pack
All of the things I did above were awesome. I have been getting back into the habit of exercising. I bike almost every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, except for the days I am hiking. I have gotten back up to going 12 miles in a ride. I am watching Sons of Anarchy on Amazon Prime. I just finished season three. If you have not watched Sons of Anarchy, you are missing out on a great show.
Now what I have planned for the next few days.
Thursday: Pick up tuxedo for wedding, pack and get everything ready
Friday: Drive to Santa Barbara with Dave and Aden, rehearsal dinner
Saturday: Frank's wedding, me standing around in a tuxedo looking important
Tuesday: Theology on Tap with Beach Newman friends
Wednesday: Help friends move
Thursday: Hike somewhere, maybe Santiago peak
There are a lot of things around me I want to change. Living with family can still be horrible. However, I am doing a lot to make the best of my situation. I am happy about the way a lot of things are going.
