Wishin and Hopin

So a few months ago I helped my dad create a resume and apply for a new job within Tipmont that he was interested in and completely deserving of. I went to the Purdue women's volleyball game last Wednesday and found out that my dad got the job! I'm so excited for him because he totally deserves it, but can hear the uncertainty and nervousness in his voice when he talks about it. His new job is a higher position that has a lot more eyes watching him now and a lot more responsibility. I know he can do the job and perfectly because he's good at what he does and he's worked his tail off for this company, but it's a lot of new changes for him and I hope he can keep his head up. I know he can do it-I just hope he knows he can because I'm SO proud of him. He definitely deserves it and I hope it ends up being the right decision for him. I'm definitely hoping God has his back on this one.

My car is still in the shop getting fixed. It's been a week now since I killed Bambi (or his mom) on my way to work one morning and I still feel horrible. However, I can't help but be grateful for our car insurance because they are paying for every cent of the $2700 worth of damage that was done. I'm hoping we get a call tomorrow to get it. Right after we took it in, we thought something serious was going wrong with Kyle's truck, but found out his emergency brake had been shattered into pieces and that was only a $25 fix. Shocking! Car fixes are never that cheap, but it was and now it's running fine.

Work is starting to pick up. I've been stressing out about getting everything ready for interventions, creating the schedule (which has been a nightmare), and getting the actual interventions started. Yes, almost 9 weeks of school has gone by and we still have not started. Pathetic and frustrating! I'm starting auditions for the 1st grade Christmas program tomorrow during class. We'll see how that goes! I'm definitely not ready to be singing these songs in my head every Tuesday and Thursday night when I come home. It should be cute. The title is The Elves Impersonator. It's about an elf that thinks he's Elvis. I'm sure my mom will LOVE it. It's pretty cute.

IWU is going good, but it's becoming harder and harder to do my homework. I guess I better get my second wind of being all about school because we don't have a break until the week of Thanksgiving. Speaking of which, I can't wait for. Good food and time with family and friends. I'm hoping there's another annual trip to Edinburg or Michigan City with my shopping crew? What do you think Jack?

Have a great week!
