I finally got to touch Harley today. He has been really interested in our hands when we put them in the water. So today I got to play with him and when you put your hands in, he targets his rostrum on your hand and then tries to nibble on your fingers. It's very cute. Speaking of biting dolphins, Chinook tried to bite me today when we were playing. That's the first time he's nipped at me, so I was pretty surprised. One of his teeth got my thumb, but it didn't break the skin.

I was supposed to start part-time at the zoo starting on Saturday, but the supervisor was able to keep me on as full-time until the end of October. I've very excited about that.

So, here's a fun story. Ryan and I went to the Twin's game on Monday. We were noticing that our car was getting really hard to put into gear. (it's a stick shift). Any time we would be stopped at a light, the car would almost stall when it was in first gear. Well, we made it fine on the free way, then pulled onto the highway that takes us to our house. Of course we had a red light. The car wouldn't go into any gear, so Ryan had to get out and push it down the street where I steered it into the Target parking lot. This car has a lot of miles on it and a lot wrong with it, so since this happened, we decided we aren't spending any more money on fixing it. So, we'll spend our money on a NEW CAR instead. We've actually been looking before the car broke down, so it came at a good time. We got a good deal on a Hyundai Tucson, which is a smaller SUV. I'm super excited about it. We get to go and pick it up tomorrow. I'll be styling.
