How My Job Went Through a Dam Drain

So, a week ago today, a big rock broke. The rock was attached to a dam that held a lake at which I worked (and Marta too). It looked like this on Rock (yes, that is a name).

However, the dam that it was attached to was not happy, so it started to cry...

And then, to add insult to injury, the rock broke even more!

That is when the dam was truly compromised. So now, the lake looks more like this...

(That green stuff is lake-weed on top of  about a foot and a half of sludge,
 with tiny, rotting, dead fish everywhere.) 

...than this.

Like I said in the title, my job went through a dam drain. Literally. Overall, unemployment isn't too bad, except that I don't get money anymore. I mean, I have an extra week and a half of free time before school starts, so it actually made my schedule a little bit easier, which is kind of nice. Oh, well.

In other news, Eliza left to spend a month or so helping the grandparents before going to school, and Marta is leaving for BYU at the end of this week. Levi and I have to go back to school in a week and a half (ugh!), but it will be nice to have a regular, stressful schedule again. Mom is getting ready to teach seminary again, and Dad is preparing to get back into working all the time without a family vacation every two weeks or so.

Love,

Tess
