July 25th

I'm not gonna pretend like my posts are gonna get any better. I know they're gonna get more and more spaced out, but gotta try to keep you updated where I can.

Our car is still in the shop! Our wonderful boys down at Tunex, Sandy called us down to show us it had been one unfortunate thing after another, and due to the mistakes of a former employee, they have tried to make it worth our while by purchasing us a new motor since they couldn't fix the old one due to lack of markings. They won't be charging us for it, and are slicing the costs down too. They just want us to get our car back. We have now ping-ponged back and forth between our parents asking to borrow cars for almost six weeks. We apologize. But they said it would be done today. *fingers crossed*

My play is coming along great! Really proud of the progress we've made! My mom and I recorded decent recordings of the music and we have had kids practicing it already. I love the way it's looking and it's so cool to think that kids are memorizing my lines that I wrote! It's also really fun to work with Brownie as a co director and I'm starting to get the feeling the kids and I are starting to be friends! It's a lot of fun.

I applied for a job at USDB- Utah School for the Deaf and Blind. I even met with the Assistant Superintendent and she said they'd look for my resume, so I have a good chance, even if I am really nervous. I told her I'm interested in working  with the blind and she explained that blind kids are usually not just blind, but also have cognitive disabilities as well, some can have seizures too. It makes me nervous. I'm not sure how cut out I am for it. I hope I can do it okay. I feel the Lord calming my heart to prepare me for the task, but I am still intimidated. It's only looking back that I know I can't stay where I am that keeps me going forward. Apparently also a girl from my homeschool group also is applying for the same place but in the deaf division. I'll need to come up with a mythical name for her if we start working close to each other!

Not much else. Had a really strong love and fascination with a moonlit forest with Native American animals around in my dreams/fancies last night. It was so peaceful.
