This weekend we had our church’s biannual General Conference. I look forward to hearing from the apostles and Prophet of the church. I have so much to learn and I feel so edified after listening to General Conference. They used to seem to last so long as a kid, but as an adult I am …
Coincidence is an interesting word, but a more interesting concept. What causes our minds to connect things? For me, with the faith I have, I see God in these details. Too often little things have collided to pave a certain path for me, or was a certain message I needed to hear. Was it a …
I’m 90% healed now! My heel still feels bruised when I walk too long and my elbow is still scabbing, but it’s almost there, but all of my other bruises and scrapes feel so much better now. It’s amazing how much more quickly you bounce back when you’re young, but I have a lot more …
I’ll spare you the gruesome healing photos of my right side. The surface damage definitely felt the worst from the beginning, but after that began healing, the other injuries began to be more apparent. I went on a four mile walk with my good friend, Lindsay. After about the two mile marker, my heel began …
Harvey learned the law of Isaac Newton, that for every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. He was playing with a nerf bow and pulled the string the wrong direction. Don’t worry, the mark didn’t stay there too long. I too learned some valuable lessons this week from my own injury. I am …
In 2nd Nephi, in the Book of Mormon, he states, “31:3 For my soul delighteth in aplainness; for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men. For the Lord God giveth light unto the bunderstanding; for he speaketh unto men according to their clanguage, unto their understanding.” The Lord has spoken to me in many …
I turned 38 this week. I feel old and young at the same time. I have a lot of life left and a whole lot more life experience to learn from and gain. I still look to those who have lived many decades more than I and hope that “when I grow up” I’ll be …
We tried to make the most of our last days of summer. We went to Artsy Me Saturday and our kids made new bowls for their favorite dishes (Umami bowls, my homemade chili, and White Chicken Chili). It was all because I was spastically putting away dishes and knocked Max’s other bowl out of the …
For the most part, we spent the week resting up from all of our travels. Lots of friend and pool time as well. On Wednesday we snuck away for a close by getaway with the kids and some neighbor friends. We visited a tiny zoo that had three black bears, an alligator, an otter, an …
We got to go visit Andy’s family. We loved it for many reasons, but some favorite moments were seeing Ben and his family after seven years apart, Harvey chasing the animals around, and getting some actual downtime and relaxation. Most of the time vacations are go go go, but we got to sit, watch the …
