Engineering Presentation

I found this picture on Jorja's phone. She said it was her president picture. These kids have been so nice to Jorja. Jorja will be sophomore president next year. Travin will be student body president next year and Kenzie was student body president this year. I really like both of these two friends of Jorja. They are incredibly kind. Great role models for her.

Stockton had his huge engineering presentation today. He has worked on this for most of the semester. They are presenting their projects to a bunch of engineers. Stockton and Abby worked so hard yesterday finishing the last minute details. Stockton was so happy for about three minutes. He had everything perfect and was ready for bed. Then he accidentally broke the on switch. The piece flew off onto the floor. We searched and searched for it, but could not find the piece. Mike went to Best Buy and bought some bluetooth headphones and dropped them off at school. Stockton and Abby frantically rebuilt their project. They said they liked the new design even more. Stockton and Abby designed a watch that a deaf person could wear to hear the beats to music so they could dance. It is pretty darn cool.

Stockton's friend, Acea, opened his mission call at 5:00. Stockton hurried to that. He is going to Manaus Brazil. Two friends called to Brazil this week. Stockton raced back to Alta for his presentation. It went really well. That is Stockton's last big school project of his high school career.

Jorja had her 'day date' for the dance tonight. It's weird how kids do day dates now. They ended up going to a cabin up the mountains. One of the girls' mom is an event planner. They use this cabin to host events. Jorja said it was pretty cool. They went on a hike and roasted hotdogs. I was super nervous letting Jorja drive up a canyon at night with someone I didn't even know. Jorja was great and texted me as soon as they got there and again before she left. I was really glad when she was home.

First Inward

I went to diving with Preston today. Stockton needed to work on his Capstone Engineering project with Abby. They are working on making something that a deaf person could wear to feel music. Sounds pretty cool. Anyway, I got to be at diving with just Preston. The last time this happened was last week on April 3rd. I forgot to write about this, but Preston did his first inward that day! He was so scared! I really didn't think he would do it, but he did. Twice. I loved it! I wish Stockton would have been there to see it. He would have been so proud.
