I like to crack jokes now and again, but it’s only because I struggle with math.: To be honest, I'm just trying to look busy until that new Muppet movie comes out.

Does it feel like I spend a lot of time being in Berkeley and not so much in Utah? That's how I feel. I think I kind of repress the idea of being in Salt Lake City and instead go to California to hang out with siblings and sister-in-laws and schewenkes. So why don't I transfer there??! Answer: That would be too much work. And also it would take the fun out of my fun trips to Berkeley.

Since I spent my whole summer with my brothers in Berkeley it always kinda feels like I'm going home when I go see them. Brenn forces me to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians and the next thing I know I am genuinely upset about Kim wanting to change her name and not telling Kris about it. Rude. And everyone is fighting about the Apples to Apples game where Brenn reads my mind so we pick each other’s on accident but Kaulin and Brian pick each other's on purpose. Cheaters. And we lose the Cal vs. USC game. Lame. And we go to a pumpkin patch but can't play on the jumpy moon bounce thing (I should look up the proper name but I won't. Dignity and stuff).

So it's not like it was an amazing time. We didn't do anything ground breaking, or party so hard I lost a shoe. But there were bits and pieces that put together made for a fun family reunion time:

-Kardashian wedding. Big hit for the household.

- Brenn has a dog named Wilbur and everyone except Brenn communally hates him. Fortunately he doesn't understand when Kaulin, Kameron and I call him stupid and ugly, so we are all still friends. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

- Kaulin and Brenn singing "Glamorous" by Fergie. Brenn gets upset because Kaulin won't let her sing the chorus. It's truly adorable and frustrating.

- They kiss, A LOT. Gross.

-Kam is still under the impression that he can use big words out of context and nobody notices. I notice.
-He and Brian sure do have a lot of PDA. And a really, really messy room. Ahhh, way to not break the stereotype of gross college roommates.

-Walk out of the movie 50/50, eyes are puffy from crying. Brian "Wow, you look ugly when you cry". He says he was joking but the way he delivered it... felt personal.

- Kaulin actually gets really upset with me when I don't win Mario Kart playing by myself. I do too, just not as much as he does. But I usually win.

- Walking down the street in San Fran after the football game and everyone is wasted outside the bars as we walk past. Nick "I mean what else is gonna sell better then liquor after a football game? ... Women?" Yes. Valid point. Good business plan

- Brenn has a thing for baby goats and baby pigs. There was a petting zoo at the pumpkin patch and she was playing with the baby pig so much the little kids would look at her and walk towards the pig then walk away. We all have our weakness though don't we.

- Quoting Parks and Rec and the Honeybadger like we get paid each time we do. "Thanks stupid"... "Treat yo self!"
