Runaway
Apparently I get the opportunity to learn what life will be like with an inactive spouse (actually she’s been consciously inactive for months but it has shifted from “I can’t go do the social part of church” to “I refuse to believe what I still must admit that I basically know”) bordering on antagonistic toward…

Experimenting with medication
One of the things that was different in the day that Laura was full of clarity and energy was that she forgot to take one of her basic medications. I’ve been watching ever since then and she has not had a comparable day. Tonight she will be skipping that medication to see if the same…

Mariah’s surgery
Forest thing this morning I have Mariah s blessing in advance of her surgery. By the time I checked in with Laura less than 40 minutes after Mariah was shredded to go in to surgery Laura informed me that Mariah was already done and just waiting for her to wake up. Little did I know…

Bunny gone missing

Trampoline
When Laura asked which trampoline I thought we should buy I chose the one with green pads because I didn’t want one with blue pads like every other trampoline on the planet. Laura let the kids vote and they chose the blue pads. The trampoline arrived today and when I got home the kids were…

Buy and sell
Today Laura bought a new trampoline for the family – a 15-footer like we had back on Lehi which was nicer than the 14-footer we had in Bountiful. She also sold the tall bookcases that don’t really have a place in the new house. End result, a new trampoline nearly paid for. I got the…

Facing reality
We told the kids that we would take the family to Disneyland next year if we could stay out of debt after the tax return and bonus came in. We paid off or debts but unfortunately they were $4000 higher than I had seen when I made that promise so our margin for error was…
