This year I will have a new boss and, yes, he is a male. I've been working for Provo School District for eight years, and all the people I worked with have been female. I'm not too worried; I shared cross guarding time with Jonathan last year and he was very nice. I just don't like change, and some of the ladies who aren't coming back were very good friends.
Jen started her work at Payson Junior High today. School for her doesn't start until next week but all the teachers at her school start getting ready this week. I hope she enjoys her new job even though Junior High can be challenging. Jenny and Jessie continue to have the Carter brothers over for dinner and other activities. They are such nice young men and GW and I really like them.
Jessie has been a case worker this summer for Kids on the Move. It's a non profit school that helps children with special needs and their families. She drives all around Utah Valley and works with families in their home environment. She really likes her job even though she caught a cold last week from one of her students. College for Jessie starts soon at UVU, and she will move to part time work while she attends classes.
Julz has also been working for a school part time. It is called Nomen Global on Center Street. It's a language school to help teach English for students all around the world who move to Utah. A ward member friend owns it, and he hired Julie a few years ago to file and do book work for him. It's nice for her to have a little money on the side so I don't have to buy all her saxophone reeds!
Julz started back at Provo High today even though it really doesn't begin until tomorrow. She gets to attend a leadership meeting for National Honor Society and band and have lunch. We were able to do a little clothes shopping and ended up buying summer shorts on sale. She is excited to be involved with Chamber Choir this year along with marching and jazz band.
Jacob brought Brittany over last week for her lasagna birthday dinner. She is eighteen months older than Jacob and started working for Revere Health across the street from Utah Valley Hospital. They seem to be settling in. Hopefully Brittany can encourage Jacob to finish his degree! Right now he seems to be looking into other options.
GW and I worked all day Saturday putting up sheet rock. I'm learning so much about building even though he is doing most of the physical work. I find it fun having something to do together. It may take a while to get everything finished but we are in no hurry.
