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!

NO MORE CLASS BLOGS!
So I am finally done with my technology class and no longer have to post to my blog for class, so I can make my blog completely personal. I have to admit that I am glad that I took the class so that I could get updated into the world of blogs. They are fun to keep and decorate. Which could be a bad thing for me. I wonder how many hours of my life I'll waste perfecting this?
Well the last 8-9 days have been a trainwreck for me really. 2 Saturdays ago, I backed into Kyle's truck pulling out of the garage (he was parked in the middle of the driveway where he is NOT supposed to be!), then on Thursday I got in a minor fender bender on my way to get my oil changed after work which resulted in a bent up hood, and then yesterday on my way to work I hit a deer, annihalating both the front of my car and the deer. Luckily, after all of this, insurance is paying for everything. I can't believe it. No wrecks or accidents in the 7 years I've had my license and now this all in a matter of 9 days. So my car is at the shop this week getting fixed and I'm using my old Honda that mom and dad so graciously allowed me to borrow. However, Kyle's truck is now making questionable noises, so we'll see where that takes us.
Other than that life is really about the same ole same ole. I started tutoring a little girl two days a week and I love it. She is so fun to work with and it's also nice to make some extra money. We still have not been able to meet with any kids yet this year and the first 9 weeks is almost over! It's so disappointing how much time we waste due to testing, but oh well. Hopefully we will be able to start mid week next week! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. So needless to say work is getting busier, and I'm finding myself having to chose a Christmas program for my 1st grade music classes this year! GRRRR.....
We also went to the Kenny Chesney concert at Lucas Oil Stadium a few weeks ago! It was a blast! By far the best Kenny concert I've been to. He had 4 great opening acts including Sugarland. I'll try to put some pics on. I haven't done that yet so we'll see how it goes.
Well, I have to admit I'm glad it's fall, because not only is it my favorite season, but that means all my favorite TV shows are back on-Grey's, Survivor, One Tree Hill, and The Hills! Not looking forward to this cold weather though. Enjoy the pretty colors while they here. They won't last for long! Take care!
