Many would think that after giving my wife a huge concussion last year at
Lake Powell that I wouldn't ever want to go back. Well... you are wrong because my parents just got a new houseboat and how could I pass that up? We have had so much fun over the last 10 years with our junky home away from home that they thought it would be time to upgrade. Two weekends ago I spent my time working on it with my dad and transferring everything from our old boat to the new one.
Okay... so maybe it might not look like anything special here (especially since it is on stilts at the Off Shore Marina by
Ticaboo) but it such an upgrade from our 1 bedroom, stinky bathroom, and air conditioner-less boat that we had previously. It just sucked moving everything over because my Dad and I only brought a sleeping bag and it got well under 30 degrees for the night we slept over on the new ship. We watched the Field of Dreams (my Dad's favorite movie) and talked about the gospel. Although it was cold, I still had a good time and can't wait to go down there once it is on the water!
Then on Monday I left for my first business trip to San Bruno to be trained on a new internet marketing program for my company. Across the street from Responsys was YouTube's HQ, which is a beautiful building inside and out.
I was stuck in a a glass box as we went over powerpoint slides for 8 hours for 2 days straight and kept looking out the window at YouTube and kept wishing that I was in that building instead. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence (literally, YouTube grows grass on their roof!)
And to think that next Friday we fly out to Europe. Will we ever settle down? I sure hope not!
