I've continued to make improvements on my classroom. I wanted to hang my calendar up so I had to hot glue a piece of wood to the back of my screen door. Then I hot glued some metal on the front of the screen so I can use it to hang magnets on if I want. I also moved it to the other side of the room. Now I can sit straight forward instead of at an angle AND I can actually use more of my background. I also bought a new lamp and my lighting looks better. Things were looking good for my interview with USkid. I had my interview Wednesday night. I got turned away because my teacher license is expired. I got the feedback from my mock class and it was good so that made me happy at least. USKid is the only company that requires a teaching licence. I was hoping that my expired one would be good enough but it was not. Now I'm doing research for the next company I want to try.
We headed down to Utah for our summer visit to Scott's family. Our car started acting up just a little bit before the rest stop by the Utah/Idaho border. When we stopped at the rest stop and tried to go again our car was not sounding good. I said we should probably stay at the rest stop but Scott thought we should just see what happened. What happened was our car broke down about 2-3 miles later. Luckily we were close to the rest stop! We started walking and after about 10 minutes a family stopped and helped us get to the rest stop. That was sooo nice of them! We then hung out for the next 3 1/2 hours waiting for help. Luckily I had some snacks and water. Nicole and Rustin were trying to find a dolly to pull our van behind them and it took awhile for them to find one. Jeff wanted to just pull us with his tow rope and I said we would stay the night at the rest stop before we did that. We got towed one time behind Jeff when Corbin was a baby and it was terrifying and dangerous and I said never again! I'd rather walk my kids into the Salt Lake valley like our ancestors than get towed again. We were so happy and grateful when they got there and they brought food! KFC never tasted so good. We got to Scott's parents house around 11:30 pm only 9 hours from our departure time. Ha! We still aren't sure what's up with our van, we might be buying a new one before we go home.
We have been swimming and hanging out. Today has been a Harry Potter marathon day. I think we are going to have a picnic in the canyon tonight. I can't wait for that. Well that's about all. Wish us luck at finding a way back to Idaho!
