President Nelson issued three challenges this past week to all the children of this world. First, to flood social media with the things we are grateful for. Secondly, to say a prayer of gratitude, and lastly to draw a closer relationship to our Savior through gratitude. He promised healing as we do this. I think …
I wrote a post last week. And published it. But it must’ve published to the trash because it has disappeared. So I’ll try and remember what I wrote, but I’ll start off with this week. It has been so nice to have Andy around. We (as in mostly he) got the garage organized (while I …
I didn’t get any photos of Maverick! But he took his costume off quickly. It was too hot and humid. I will make sure I get one on Halloween… and hopefully a happier picture of Bev. Two of my friends (Andy’s coworkers’ wives) and their kids were able to come. It was great to have …
We had a great week with lots of time together. Andy’s schedule was a bit all over the place, but when we were together we made the most of it, and he got his first weekend off in… well quite a while. It was nice, but went way too fast. Last Sunday we finished the …
This week was gratefully uneventful. Max had football, Andy worked most nights, and Max had a half day of school on Friday. I am fortunate in so many ways. So that’ll be my focus for this blog today. I listened to a lady’s testimony in our ward today and she said when COVID made them …
First off I’m super grateful my parents came to help out. They were beyond helpful. I really needed them during this time emotionally and physically and they went above and beyond. It brought me great joy to see the love Harvey had for my mom and vice versa. It also was an answered prayer because …

The colonoscopy was both easier than I anticipated and worse. Better because the prep drug- golytely was …

Maverick and Beverly started preschool this past Monday. My freedom was amazing, though quickly spent with grocery shopping. Wednesday’s four hours without Bev and Mav were a lot more relaxing with a short trip to the gym for my ten minute water massage, a dentist visit, and lunch by myself at Panera. They love it …
I have to think back to my week, because it feels like Janustember 1032th. Andy started Trauma this past week. He hasn’t had a break since he started so take this schedule with a grain of salt: 6 days a week, 13 hr night shifts. Yup. He got a couple of hours of sleep the …
We didn’t have a lot going on this week, but Bev and Mav had preschool open house. I am ready for preschool to start. Being cooped up in the house for four plus months isn’t good for anyone. Granted we had time to visit family, which was so fun and so exhausting, but definitely good …
