Wow… that wasn’t my most positive post ever. Let’s go with … Take 2. This, I remember. Saturday. It seemed like such a long day. Driving with trees down and no stop lights. No A/C. Reception at the barn. Basketball at the church. Adjusting to the time change. Finally. Bed. I laid in bed and […]
I’ve been asked this a few times since arriving home Saturday night. My answer: “HARD”. Isn’t that horrible? Then I correct myself, “Give me a week to forget how HARD it was, and then I’ll remember all the fun we had.” “Why was it hard?” “Oh, I don’t know… It just was. Early mornings, late […]
This quote from Thomas S. Monson about the temple strengthens me.

This is the fire we can see from our neighborhood. It was started yesterday by target shooters and has burned 600+ acres. 400 homes have been evacuated. We took a drive this morning to see how close it was to the neighborhood in Eagle Mountain. They were being evacuated. My friend Julie shared some of […]
Max is our middle kiddo. He is quite the guy. He’s the most easy-going of our children. He’s generally a happy person. But sometimes I realize I have to spend so much time caring for Tru & ‘Liza that he doesn’t get much one-on-one time. Tonight I took him swimming to the Legacy Center. Hannah […]
