Good friends
Every time we get together with the Jacobson’s I am reminded of the value of having good friends. We had a very enjoyable game night there and it was nice to see the kids breaking up into various groups and each enjoying the kind of company they were comfortable with.

Game night
We did game night with the Jacobson’s tonight. It was great to get both families together again. It was also cool that the kids were more interactive together. Some of our other gatherings the kids have been disconnected. I think part of it is more maturity where before they were young enough to not really…

Family vacation
After a largely successful day at church, where Mariah performed beautifully in sacrament meeting (singing solo with a flute to accompany her) we took off for Isaac to go be in the park of totality for the eclipse tomorrow.

Kayaking with friends
Today was dominated by another trip to Tibble Fork where we went kayaking. This time we went with the Jacobson’s. They only had a couple of kids with them so it wasn’t a massive group but we had a very nice time not only getting on the water but visiting as well. On the way…

3 January 2010
What a day. I managed to be late to my meetings by almost 10 minutes. We recovered from that and I filled out the form for Enoch’s blessing. When I arrived home the house was packed. We had a nice lunch but when we went to the church apparently my instructions got Steve and Andy…

9 October 2009
I have been having a discussion about what a legislator should be like, what qualifications and skills they need and how they should operate their campaign (I’ll be talking about their office soon) on my site and I think from the comments that I have at least one person who would vote for me, no…

16 September 2009
I’m dragging today – physically not in peak form and emotionally worn out as well. I think that Monday is catching up with me on both fronts – I detailed the emotional weight of the day in that journal entry, but I failed to mention that on top of all that I built two new…
