  • A possible temple shift

    I went to the temple this morning and did my morning prayer there. That obviously provides taking notes as I normally do but I knew my one action item was to contact Bishop to learn more about the temple needs to see if any would work for me. By the end of the day Bishop…

  • All the little extras

    Today was filled with lots of little extra things. I had to go in to the high school with Alex to try to deal with his broken Chromebook. After that I went to America’s Best to see about getting my glasses repaired after Enoch’s stunt yesterday. Thankfully they are under warranty so they will replace…

  • A change of pace

    I spent a good chunk of today in Sanpete County looking into possible camp sites. Because of the time I spent there I decided not to attempt 19,000 steps today. In the evening I did decide to at least get 5000 steps. As I went out I saw Ben Hoopes and decided to stop and…

  • Birthday visit

    Savannah and Aaron came down to visit today for Savannah’s birthday. I had to take off from work a bit early to gather all the kids after school so that we could go play laser tag for 2 hours. Afterward we went to Pizza Pie Cafe to celebrate and then we ended up at the…

  • A baby step

    After feeling that Laura needed to act out risk losing any momentum I was praying this morning for her and felt that we should study her patriarchal blessing to look for any clues of what might bring her motivating joy. We studied her blessing tonight and while I’m not sure we identified anything specific I…

  • Growing in capacity

    When I started walking I would have thought 12,000 steps would be hard to do on a regular day—that I would really have to plan time to make that happen but today I got that done with one lengthy walk (to the church and back but not the shortest route) but through some yard work…

  • A textbook day

    Aside from Laura being such when she woke up (which required me to take the kids in to school) everything today was what I would consider the kind of day a normal person would have. I was able to get good things done at work, including having a very valuable meeting with the folks at…

  • My friend gout

    I’ve been struggling with pain in my ankle again the last few days. I’ve been trying to ice it and even though I have been able to do the walking I want to do the pain really has been concerning. This morning after praying that this would not force me to stop my walking like…

  • Temple blessings

    I’m not sure what to say about today. I got some work done in the yard and I got the dishes caught up. I managed to reach my 10,000 step goal which was more important to me since I skipped my steps yesterday. More importantly Laura and I went to the temple to do initiatory…

  • Deliberate Sacrifices

    I had a good day at work today, making good progress on my current main project and taking care of two other small items that had come up in the last few days. The deliberate sacrifices are that tonight Laura and I went to a family party in Midway, at David and Becca’s house, which…
