Second Job
Brian is a pretty busy guy! This summer he's already been working 20-30 hours a week on an exercise machine project/job for the school and writing a Compliant Mechanism compendium as requested by his professors. He's also received a provisional patent on a bicycle brake he designed and will be in Canada in August for a conference and design contest where he could potentially get a prize for his design. SO... about that second job! Yesterday, he began working for VMT Technologies (a start-up company here in Provo) in a contracted position until September. He'll be working there an extra 30 hours a week- that means long days! They could potentially hire him on permanently after that, but we've got our eyes on higher sights. This isn't a bad back-up though.
Medicaid/WIC
As a result of this secondary job, it looks like we'll be off of Medicaid and WIC soon. Sad day. At least we have some real income now, which is comforting.
Homeless!
Wymount is kicking us out on August 16th (since that's Brian's official graduation) and they won't acknowledge our petition to stay longer. WE ONLY NEED ONE MORE MONTH for Brian to finish up this contract position in Provo. Then we'll be out of Utah most likely. Thankfully, we can stay with G&G in Ogden during this time, but that'll be a long commute for Brian each day. If any of you in Provo could hub Brian for a few days or a week at a time (he really only needs bed/couch and shower- he can manage his own food), we would be eternally grateful! He would visit us in Ogden on the weekends.
Softball
Brian and I are on a ward co-ed intramural softball team. Last night we had our first game and it was way fun! Lot's of people in the ward are on the team- especially many girls who have done softball before. Awesome!
Avery
Lately she loves to say "apple" (very well), "yum/yummy/num-num/mmm," "shoes," and she picks up on new words quicker. She can point to her ears/nose/head. I love to watch her develop EVERY DAY!

I guess since you wrote this in the morning there was one more loop on that rollercoaster!
