He then drove down to Huntington Beach, where he'll be staying until the end of August. He's living with my single uncle, Mark -- who has been soo generous to Josh. Josh has had such a blast living with Mark, and it's only been the first week.
This is Mark's neighborhood. His apartment is only a half mile inland from Huntington Beach. What a perfect location! Josh is loving it. He's gone on nightly runs along the nice paved beach trail. He's looking to get a bike down there, so he can go on bike trips with Mark. Josh spent the day at the beach yesterday playing volleyball with Mark and his friends. When I talked to him at night Josh, Mark, and a friend of Mark's had just made huge chocolate banana shakes for themselves after a long day in the sun. They also went to Pei Wei for dinner....I'm so jealous. I love, love, love that place! It was soo good to hear Josh laughing with Mark and having such a great time. I'm really glad Josh is so happy out there.
He also began work this week. He absolutely loves it and is so grateful for the internship. He loves the company and the people he works with. A highlight of the week was meeting Bill Gross, PIMCO's CEO or Managing Director or something like that. The New York Times has titled him "the nation's most prominent bond investor." His net worth is about 1.3 billion dollars. Not bad. Josh said Bill was really funny and laid back, despite his huge reputation on Wall Street. (To be honest, I could walk past Bill Gross on the street and not even recognize him....but this was a big deal for Josh. I guess you have to be a Finance major.)
Another highlight of the week was going to an Angel's game with his department at work. He's the one on the left with the longer hair. It didn't take long for him to grow out his California shag! Ha ha.
I'd give you an update on my post spring-term life in Provo, but it's not quite as eventful as Josh's internship in California. Although, I am going to the Lehi Rodeo this weekend and that should be blog-worthy! Giddeup!

Laura you are so funny. We love that Josh is doing great. He would have a great time no matter where he was at. Though it doesn't hurt to be in living on the beach. Give us a call if you would like to do something fun!
I was just wondering how Cali was going for Josh. I'm glad he's having fun. I bet your uncle is too, Josh is a great roommate!
SHUT UP!! You are going to the Round Up, you do remember that is my stomping grounds. I was forced to that rodeo every year until I became a teenager. That was also where Jethro and I had our first date. How awesome for you! I want to go, but there is no way this weekend...drat. Have fun for me.
We had so much fun with Josh! Can't wait to see you in a couple days.
how fun! I hope that he continues to do well! I think it's awesome that you guys are staying so positive and doing so well! Remember you're welcome to come over whenever! And keep the updates coming! We love to hear about the both of you! How is work going at the apartments by the way? Are you in the office everyday?
Congrats on being done! I cannot even believe that Josh made it...I thought for sure he would end up in Kansas:) Looks like he is having a great time.
