    I met with the people at University of Utah Health Care again yesterday. Going into the meeting I was still undecided and I told them so when they asked how I felt about the position. In the last part of the meeting I met the team and after that I felt very comfortable that this…

    I have not been very good at stopping to write in my journal at night but I was released last Sunday (the 11th) as the Elder’s Quorum President and there has been an interesting change in the air at home since then as if a blessing of peace and acceptance has been given us. On…

    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…

    I woke up very late today after a very long nights sleep (over 10 hours) feeling worse than when I went to bed. I felt just good enough to decide to try working. It was a slow and uncomfortable day but I made it through a complete (if slightly shortened – 7.3 hours) day at…

    It looks like I figured out the solution to the Month End Accrual report issue at work. When I left today Newton was testing my solution out. At home it looks like we might be done with illness (aside from some residual minor fever and pain in the wrist for Mariah).

    Life is interesting in the way you can know how things should be and yet despite your best efforts it does not always cooperate. Three examples:One, the kids were not very cooperative today with chores etc. probably because they knew that Marsha was coming to visit. Two – although it might not have been fully…

    I spent virtually all day (until 2:45) babysitting the Month End Accruals report. It had to be run one facility at a time and if any other report ran during the run it was likely to bomb out. We made it through this month but we will need to have something much more robust and…

    Today was a very nice day at work as I finally felt like I had an ongoing issue that I could take ownership of on the Kronos system. I am becoming the defacto expert on Microsoft reports and I am determined to deliver reports that exceed the expectations of those who have been using them.…

    After only one day I am beginning to remember the value of having a schedule where I include a plan for all the things I need to do. When I met Laura I was consistently studying the scriptures, writing in my journal and exercising. I have not missed my scripture study in over a year,…

    Little did I know when I last wrote how much was in store for me. I graduated the week after that entry. Bill got married that week and we chose to have Alyssa’s blessing the night before the wedding while Ken and Dad were in town. It was interesting that all the men from Laura’s…
