White Trailer before Moving In

Potluck

By randombrad

I went to church today and they had a potluck. I made Betty Crocker brownies from a box. But I felt like I needed to make the brownies a little special. So I took a big symphony milk chocolate and pounded it with a hammer and then put the broken peices of it ontop of the brownie batter. They turned out pretty good.

Ya So….

So today I went and had my first SMOG test. It was pretty harmless, My blazer passed really well the guy said. So then I continued onto the Lancaster AAA where they were able to save me time in the long run, because I would have had to gone to the BMV several times which word on the street takes a long time. So after I was done there I was headed to Wal-Mart to get some things, I saw haircuts for 3 dollars and 50 cents. I was like Its getting hot out might as well get a hair cut. The girl that cut my hair at the beauty school told me she was here first guy hair cut. Then I got a txt from a counselor from last year that she was having a going away party in Santa Clarita. So I drove there via two canyons. I was very curvey and can be intense at times for a guy from indiana. But I made it there and it was great to see her again before she goes away to college. Then on the way back I decided to fully use the GPS unit I got last week by going on a fire road that i saw on the map. I had heard of one that when to the oaks from the old paintball feild. i tried to fins it from the other end but ended up probably 5-7 miles around a winding dirt road until it dead ended. oops.

I made it back alright obviously. I’m working some adventure tommorrow for Fresno Family camp here at THE OAKS.

Started My New Job

By randombrad

So the summer is finished as far as camps go. We had our celebration party at Santa Monica which also happened on my 23 birthday. I was able to go skim boarding and that was alot of fun. Then on that sunday at 2am a few of us went with Dan H. to reserve a camping spot at Jalama Beach north of Santa Barbra. We literally camped within 300 feet of the beach. I fell asleep on the beach and got a pretty nice sun burn but its all better now. Then We cam back on that Tuesday around noon. On Wed. Jimmy and I moved into the white trailer. Its looking pretty nice. I have a small bed room but with a sink and a half bathroom off of my room. The living area seems to be big enough for us. I’m slowly getting into the hang of things with my job but it is so-real actually being in my real job. Today I drove up a fire road to get some cool footage of the camp from really far away. It will be worked into a video that I have to have ready for the Sept 14th dedication of the new buildings here at THE OAKS.

I’m doing well. Sorry I have been slow to respond to things, its just when I am 3 hours different than the midwest and I don’t get off until 5pm and still have to eat dinner. Things can be difficult. We are still working on getting internet in the white trailer.
