Photo Sorting

I mentioned before that one of the big projects I’m currently working on is going through stuff to prepare for the move. This led me to an even bigger project that I do when my body is just too tired to haul heavy boxes, man machinery, or I just don’t want to get dirty again …

Moving Prep

This month is going to be primarily focused on preparation for the move. It may seem premature since we’re not moving till the end of may but: 1) it will sneak up on us faster than I will be ready for if I don’t get a head start and 2) Andy has a cadaver lab …

Report Date

And so it begins. Andy received a notice from the Army that his report date is June 3, which means we probably will move the week before, which is actually perfect. Andy graduates May 17, Max finishes kindergarten May 23rd, so we’ll probably move right after that. I’ve got two major projects going on to …

Mav’s Birthday

Last week we were able to celebrate Mav’s 3rd birthday! I can’t believe he’s three, well truth be told I can and I can’t. He definitely acts three, and has for a while, but the past three years have flown by quickly. He is my comedian, my sweetheart, he has a very active imagination and …

Sickies

I have been busy this week taking care of a sick husband and a sick baby. She puked on our way to the grocery store on Tuesday, but I thought it was just due to car sickness (which happens with her). But she puked again wednesday then twice in the night on Wednesday then throughout …

New Year

I said stay tuned for planning nerdiness. Well, here it is. Andy and I did our family goals. I’ll share some of those with you, so hopefully you can learn from us and if you have some you’d like to share, we could learn from you! We centered our goals and plans around “Come Follow …

Back Home

Being home brings your own pillow, bed, and the comforts of home, but I admit, I am going to really miss my family. I know that my parents will be relieved to have some peace for a day or two before more family comes over, but it was sure nice to see my siblings and …

Jesus and his Houses

On our way to church this past Sunday, Max noticed all of the churches we passed to get to ours and asked, “Why does Jesus have so many houses?” First of all, Max has a lot of questions. His favorite being, “Why?” (For everything, why are we eating this, why are we eating NOW why …

December

I am doing President Nelson’s challenge and striving to finish the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. As of now, I’m “on target” to do so. I started reading by highlighting any mention of the Savior, as per direction of President Nelson. I continued to highlight and “tag” things as I saw …

2018 About to End

Wow! 2018 Has been full! Be prepared because I’m really glad I decided to write this long card, because it made me realize what a year we’ve enjoyed… And survived. Andy graduates May 17, 2019 from University of Texas McGovern medical school. It has been a journey, but one I’m glad to have shared with …
