Full disclosure, some of this was written on my Facebook page already and this will be a long post. But it’s for my records, so read it or don’t 😉 Day 1 When hurricanes hit the southeastern coast, we usually prepare ourselves, but not in the way you’d think. We make sure that we have …

I ended up getting sick Tuesday evening and waking up Wednesday feeling even worse. In some ways I was grateful I had a cold because it explained the weird things that had been happening to me during the previous week. My left eye started twitching (and still is) and I had joint pain on nearly …
We are all a working title in our lives. This week in Come Follow Me, we are reminded to listen to the counsel of the Prophets. President Nelson’s talks have still been ruminating in my mind, specifically about the instruction on Pride and humility. I know that humility is the opposite of pride, that when …
President Nelson turned 100 yesterday. I was able to listen to half of the celebrations and was touched by the number of well-wishers that weren’t members of our faith. The celebration included some fantastic musical numbers- a perfect tribute to someone who has perfect pitch and is proficient on the piano and the organ. I …

This may seem like a bit of a cheesy post, but I was sorting through seashells (that’s a normal Tuesday for most people, isn’t it?) and some things came to mind that I felt nature did a good job teaching. Between my kids and I, we carefully selected and stored each of these seashells I …
As the kids jumped back into school (barely a day and a half after we landed in ATL), I kept pushing forward, trying to get our lives back in order. We had a wonderful and fun summer and it really went to fast, but I am grateful to be back in a routine. Beverly has …
We were all set to leave for Utah Tuesday morning around 3 AM. I got up at 2, showered and got out as Andy came into the bathroom to tell me our flight had been canceled. Super bummed we spent the next hour trying to get in touch with Delta to come up with an …
Fireworks on the farm We had a wonderful time visiting Texas. We spent most days swimming, painting, working on the farm, and having a blast with cousins. I just wish it wasn’t such a long drive, because it makes it harder to get down there. My mother-in-law kept Max an extra week to work on …
