Last week we were on deaths door, or so it felt. Every kid had their turn with fevers that lasted around five days for each of them. Max and Beverly got so sick they were hallucinating. Max kept saying that there was an earth quake and Beverly said the trees were trying to get her. …
What stood out to me the most this weekend is standing strong and immovable. I talked about this a few weeks ago, but nourishing our spirit is as important as feeding our bodies. It is our testimony that we are strengthening as we nourish our spirit. We can strengthen our testimony by doing the basic …
On Monday, my dear friend Lindsay Durrant took me on a kayaking trip. One that had been rescheduled two other times due to sickness or the kayak shop keeper not showing up. It actually worked out for the best. Andy took the kids to and from preschool so we weren’t rushed, while the other days …
This week was stake conference. The general session today was great and focused on gathering Israel through missionary work and temple and family history work. Last night’s adult session was even more in depth and I got more from it. One of the presidency members spoke about Repentance and then the Stake President spoke on …

Someone in church yesterday was talking about how the Psalms are songs of praise, and though our Father in Heaven probably loves to hear the word “thank you,” gratitude is …
This past week was a little more catch up, a little bit of fun, and the beginning of football season and preschool. Harvey and Beverly started at preschool on Monday. Beverly really seems to be enjoying it this year… Harvey… not so much. He hasn’t played as “rough” with the other kids as last year, …
At the beginning of the medical school journey I discovered a Facebook group called, “Lives of Doctor Wives.” Sometimes their stuff is ridiculous with surgeon wives saying, “Look at my new souped up SUV!” and there’s been some comical moments where a lady professed she was impregnated by a man at the gym who shared …
I know I’ve been blogging out of order, but I didn’t want to miss the kids’ back to school moment. So let me recap Utah. It was one of the quickest trips I’ve had. It was 12 days, but when you factor in a four day trip to Flaming Gorge and time with six siblings …
