Unforgettable, In Every Way….
The sprinklers are currently trying their hardest to bring the chlorophyll back to the tips of the grass. Two shower the lawn with full potential- like their limbs are out and dancing around in circles. One sprinkler waters at half-mass while the other barely spits. A humming bird drinks from the falling droplets, in full flight.
Today has truly been a day of greatness for us. James got a job in advertising today, to my knowledge he’ll be setting up and explaining technical displays in various types of stores. One word: Salary. 
I went to two interviews today, one at an Aquarium about 10 miles away in Sandy. I was actually supposed to go tomorrow to see the “hiring assistant” but accidentally went today and OOPS met the actual manager instead. After a pleasant interview he let me walk around and see all the insane creatures there- including a shallow pool where you may PET the STING RAYS. (I didn’t touch ‘em!) As I was walking around an employee stopped to talk to me,
“You’re the girl that just interviewed with Max, right?…. He came into the office and said ‘This girl’s in… she’s a keeper!’”
She went on to tell me NOT TO STRESS, I’ll get the job. I like her already.
Then, a few hours later I was waiting at an open interview at the Cheesecake Factory and met SOMEONE FROM KANAB! I didn’t know her but she looked insanely familiar so I finally asked if maybe I had a class with her when I went to the University of Utah. NO. I asked where she was from and she said
“Oh, I’m from Kanab, a little town in Southern Utah……”
I stopped here there- BUT I’M FROM KANAB! She graduated about 5 years ago so we didn’t know each other but, I suppose I just knew that Kanabite look.
As for the interview, it seemed to go well. The manager interviewing me had the enthusiasm of koala bear but, said he’d pass my application on with a star next to ‘Server’
Meanwhile, on the home front, we’ve had guests and old friends over for giant sized movies on the living room wall. AND best of all, OSCAR HAS LEARNED TO BOB FOR APPLES in our awesome trough. I threw in about eight apples and he will take every single one out and lay it on the lawn just so carefully.

It’s official, the three of us are all so happy here. And I know Josh will be at peace in our home as well.
More pictures of the house will come soon….when I feel like it’s in SOME sort of order.
Thanks for all your support, Friends and Family. Always happy to hear from you!

Sara Ann & Oscar and James by default.
What happened with the Aquarium job? I went to the aquarium when I took one of my science classes earlier this summer. It was sweet. Did you know jellyfish have no brain, heart, or eyes? How do they survive? Seriously! Although, I know people who have no brains and no hearts, so I guess it makes it sense. (?) I hope you come visit me in Jackson some weekend (just not Labor Day, although you are welcome to join me in Zion that weekend to hike the Subway). I miss you. Also, what was the girl’s name from Kanab? I’m glad you got the job at the expensive store and the coffee shop. Cool, cool. Love you girl.
