I've been really struggling to get in a good nights sleep over the past few weeks. I have been so so tired! Since I had the day off work today, I was able to rest a lot, and that felt really good!

I have been at my parents' house for the past few days. I went to church in their ward today. I was so excited to stand for the closing hymn and sing the national anthem as a congregation. And, I got to stand next to my dad, who is an incredibly talented vocalist. It felt so powerful to sing the lyrics and know we are truly blessed to live in the United States.

At the beginning of the summer, my car's air conditioner decided it wasn't going to work anymore. I decided I wasn't going to get it fixed, and that I'd just try not to drive in the afternoons. So far that's mostly worked, but there are still days when it can't be avoided. A few days ago, I hinted to my mom that for my birthday, I'd like it if she'd go havsies with me to fix it. Today, my wonderful parents just paid for it to get done! It felt so good to drive with air conditioning again!

I got my little niece to sit and blow bubbles with me!

Even after a long day, my hair looks so pretty!

The best part of my day was when my dad called me during his lunch break. He usually does that on the days that I don't work. Today, he was particularly excited because my older sister (she doesn't have a nickname for this blog... Hmm...)is coming to visit this week! She and her little family flew in today. My dad isn't usually "excited" about things--he's usually pretty calm. And that's how he was today when he called me. But since I know my dad, I could tell he was excited. And that makes me excited to go home and visit!

Also, after tonight, there are only 29 posts left in this project. It's amazing how time has passed!
