Engine troubles

Hahaha went to the wheelocks to teach aabbee the fishtail braid. What happens instead? I help Dempsey and Matt fix the bronco! Bro. Wheelock comes out and takes my picture and starts laughing about how two boys are standing around and has the girl fixing the engine! To be perfectly honest.…I'm very proud of myself for that:) Finally after we sort out the engine trouble I go inside and teach aabbee the braid. All in all, a well spent afternoon!

Perspective

Well let's see.…nothing really significant going on in the life of Brenda. Just taking things a day at a time. Things of note: a few of my good friends have gotten married this summer. That's always exciting. My best friend graduated from school this year and has started her student teaching job in Arizona. My cousin rachael will be returning to Washington with her husband towards October/November, which I'm stoked for! I haven't seen her since last December. Elder burns goes home in approx. 5 weeks. That's also very exciting! I still have not acquired a job for the summer, other than working for my dear mother. But alas, not too much of a loss since I will be starting work again in September. Both jobs! My permanent part time job at Pierce College and also my job at the Puyallup fair! Which I am very excited for. I had a marvelous time last year and hope that this year will be even better! Which, I am sure, it will be. Life is so precarious sometimes. But I suppose that's how it goes. Honestly I hope that this year will be one of good and challenging experiences. This monotony of my current life is vastly boring at worst and dull at best. Not that I don't love spending time with my family. I do, in fact enjoy it immensely. But it's the in-between time when I have nothing productive to do that drives me insane. Even trying to draw to whittle away the empty hours has brought me little solace. Perhaps I shall attempt to find an "extreme" project to occupy my mind will help. Or perhaps I can learn some home making skills such as cooking or sowing! That's would both be productive and entertaining. I shall have to ask my mother and maybe my sisters if they will assist me in this endever. We shall just have to wait and see! Anyway, I'm done yacking for now.
