Coming together
The plans we set in motion seven months ago are finally coming to fruition. The sixth bedroom is done. The basement is getting carpeted – finishing tomorrow – so that we can begin living in the whole house. And we had our piano delivered today so that for family scriptures tonight we sat singing hymns.…

Piano girl
Tonight Savannah started looking at pianos on KSL classifieds while Laura and I were running errands. She made arrangements to go see pianos ranging in price from $800 to $50. I had warned her that any piano priced at $100 or less was very likely to be a reclamation project. The first 2 pianos sounded…

Blessed day
Today was truly blessed. Last night I arranged for us to stay in a private condo (not shared) during the gap between houses. That was a blessing but today it was further perfected as the dates were changed to match our need perfectly. I no longer need to try deleting recording by signing late on…

Real estate rollercoaster
I didn’t have time last night to record that our contract for the house fell through just before the close of business.

So many options
I failed to do scripture study yesterday because Laura and I spent all evening – until 2AM – talking about possibilities such as selling the house to pay our debts and moving. The real possibility exists that we could pay the debts and still put 20% down on a house that is big enough for…

Doing too much
I had talked about working on Alyssa’s room today but instead I fixed the rabbit pen, laid carpet in the downstairs hallway, put up the new Roman shades that arrived today, and got all the kids to and from school at their appointed times. At the same time, Laura was going to her therapist and…
