See Ya Cisco!

I say "See ya" because there is a chance we'll be back.   Though Landon's internship wasn't what he had in mind, he would still like to work for Cisco after graduation.  There is a strong possibility he will get a job offer so we are being optimistic and hope Cisco will be one of a few companies he'll get to choose from, fingers crossed.  We are so grateful for the Cisco internship opportunity and had a great time exploring California as a family of three.  The internship extended Landon's MBA program a little but has turned out to be a good thing, better resume for fall recruiting season, more time to find his dream job, and now he gets to go to Africa with a consulting team for Exon Mobile this fall.  We were glad it was a paid internship but didn't leave with the savings we had hoped for, monthly rent of $2100 for a tiny one bedroom apartment stinks.  It's just one of those things you do to live in Silicon Valley.  (If we become permanent residents of California we'll be able to find something more reasonable I'm sure.) 

Landon got to go indoor Skydiving for his closing social (he was the photographer) and I took Capri in to meet his co-workers on his last day (you can see Capri and I had a lot of fun with the self portraits while waiting for Landon to wrap things up.)  One of Landon's co-workers, Ramprasad, gave Capri the most beautiful Sari from India,  I can't wait until it fits her!  Capri is truly a global baby with clothes from all over - Europe, China, India, and I'm sure Landon will find something from Africa.  Cisco, it was a pleasure, thank you for the fun summer.

This Week....

I don't know why, but this M-F week flew by.... maybe because it was filled with fun things.   Our time in California is disappearing before our eyes and Capri is getting so big.  We have lots of great friends here and it seems like there is something fun going on daily.

Monday:  Bachelor Party at Andrea's with yummy treats and funny commentary.
Tuesday:  Pool Day!  I host and usually 10-15 moms come with their kiddos. Ran our fastest minute mile yet- 7:24.
Wednesday: Capri and I wore our stripes to shop the sales with Paige at the mall.  We found Capri and Aubrey matching swimsuits at H&M for $1.... yeah baby! Then met Daddy for lunch at Applebees.  Ran 7 miles on a new trail, we actually ran our last 4 minutes in the dark because we got such a late start.
Thursday: Grocery shopping (which is fun for me).  Picked up Tori to go see the hubbies play in a work basketball tournament and enjoyed their catered BBQ.  Later that afternoon I went to the  park for a photography class put on by my church.  Met up with another group of church girls for a running activity preparing for the stake 5k & 10k.  Landon worked out, played basketball, and folded all of the laundry when I got home, love him.
Friday:  Lunch break lunch date at California Sourdough with the Hoopers and Samuelson's.  Best. Bread. Ever.  After work Landon and Craig lifted weights while Tori and I hung out, then we went to Red Robbin, the boys fixed our flat tire, and then back to our place for dessert.
Saturday:  Yucky morning, between waking up late, tire problems, and traffic we didn't get our run in. We are going to make up for it Monday.  Jordan & Brooke, and Dallin & Kayla came over and hung out by our pool, then we went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Jordan's birthday.

Despite our bummer Saturday morning, it was a great week and we can't believe we only have 4 more weeks left here!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN!
