We had a very relaxed day today with a storybook ending. I got the things done that I needed to for Elder’s quorum and then took the rest of the day easy. Laura had me go to the grocery store to get cream cheese for dinner and I saw President Eyring there. It was funny…

Towards the end of my scripture study Laura showed me a blood clot and asked if we should call Nancy. We decided to wait until a more reasonable hour (it was 6:30). 15 minutes later after I was done with scriptures and towards the end of studying Elder Bednar’s conference talk Laura came out and…

I had a good talk with Laura this morning again and had a very nice time at the temple this morning as well. Work was work. At the end of the workday Laura called with frustration over the fact that Alyssa and Mariah took until 3:00pm to get their chores done and would not work…

Not sure what to say about today – I had an enjoyable breakfast with Laura before scriptures and leaving for work. When I got home we went to Valley View Elementary to see a snow fort that Savannah was excited about playing in from school – it was fairly impressive. Afterward we had dinner and…

Before my alarm had even gone off this morning I was awakened by Isaac coming to the door crying. He stood at our door and called “Dad, are you still mad at me?” The last thing that happened to him before bed was that I carried him to his room and shut the door as…

The deer saga is over – Laura got up this morning and found that our gate had been opened and our “pet” had left. Now onto the real news of the day. I mentioned yesterday that I (we) had an stake interview today at 8:30 A.M. – they first separated us, letting President Eggett chat…

We took an idea from General Conference and implemented it today. When President Monson was interviewed before his birthday and a reporter asked him what members of the church could give him he suggested that them going to serve others would be a great present. Apparently many groups took it upon themselves to not only…

Conference was good again today. Between sessions we decided to go for a drive and we invited Mom to go with us. We got some great views up Farmington Canyon and on the way back we invited her to join us for the second session of Conference. We ended up spending almost 5 hours with…
