Journal 21 October 2011
Laura and I talked tonight about something that I have thought about many times over the last few years. I have thought about how far we can transmit the things that we have learned and wondered what we can do to increase the range of our transmission. We talked about how much we have learned…

Another day of Alyssa and Mariah not doing chores – I really wish we could find a consequence that would get the point across. The kids (aside from Savannah) are reverting to the old bedtime routine of ignoring bedtime and pestering for hours after devotional – that has to stop. On a happier note, I…

Today was a really nice day. Enoch slept soundly from midnight to 5:30 this morning, and so did I. I stayed home long enough to get my hair cut and to cut Isaac’s hair before going to work. I left work early enough to go to Valley bowling and pick up my coat that I…

It looks like Enoch might already be getting his schedule turned around to a daytime schedule. Last night he slept almost all night. I was able to sleep until midnight when he woke up. He went back to sleep at 1AM and slept until 4:15. I slept from 1 to 3. He was back to…

Happy day – my presidency received their calls today and they all accepted – Alex Monson’s face positively lit up when the call was extended. He couldn’t say yes fast enough. Laura happened to have a chance to talk to Lisa Monson (Alex’s mom) later in the evening and so we know a few more…

I can tell that I have some of the sickness that Laura is feeling and that everyone else has had to varying degrees. That’s not a fun thought as I am covering for Scott this week. We got a slow start today and I was the only one to go to Sacrament meeting for our…

I spent virtually all day (until 2:45) babysitting the Month End Accruals report. It had to be run one facility at a time and if any other report ran during the run it was likely to bomb out. We made it through this month but we will need to have something much more robust and…

Journal 24 February 2008
The kids are sick today so we had them stay home from church. Laura stayed with them for Sacrament meeting and I came home for the other parts of church. When I got home Laura was giving a primary lesson on the plan of salvation. I arrived in time to take over and talk about…
