Recently Nikaela and her family came to visit. We had SO much fun with them! We did lots of fun activities and still managed to say, “Oh, we never…” after they left. It’s just so hard sometimes to live this far away from them. They got here on a Sunday and the fun started immediately. [...]

Good Morning! I have to say that I love living in Utah; I have found very few things I dislike about life here. But these ant piles completely freak me out! This one was by our garage door this morning when we stepped out for our walk. They’re Everywhere! It seems like they’re all over [...]

On Easter Sunday Garret, Amalie and I decided to do it up with the full ham dinner. We bought the smallest ham we could find (and still have TONS in the freezer), made cheesy potatoes, Grandma Eddie’s rolls, and a wonderful spinach salad. The dinner was delicious and the day was peaceful and reflective. We [...]

This has been a busy, busy week at our house. February 10th through the 16th is always busy at our house. We have several celebrations beginning with Garret’s birthday on the 10th and ending with our anniversary on the 16th. Somewhere in there is Valentine’s Day, right? And the week often includes President’s Day which [...]

Welcome to the New Year! Yes, I am a bit slow this year. And I had plans for many lovely posts during the holidays that just did not materialize. As I told my Journal this morning, “I was too busy living life to write about it.” Sorry excuse, but it will have to do. To [...]

Today is my youngest’s 20th birthday. Amalie is 20. No more teenagers. Weird. I don’t feel like the Mom of two adult children. Not that I mind. Aging has not yet bothered me. I figure as long as I keep telling myself I’m not old, I won’t ever get there. And every birthday I have [...]

This past week our AZ daughter, Nikaela, and her sweet family came for a visit. We had so much fun! One whole week of great adult conversation. One whole week of snuggling Grandbabies. One whole week of big breakfasts, visiting fun sights, watching movies and eating popcorn. What a wonderful Christmas Gift! We were sad [...]

Growing up I had my very special Grandma Eddie. Actually, she was Grandma Nellie until my sister’s first child could not say “Nellie” and it came out in a very cute “Eddie” (love you, Jeni-Pen). Grandma was thrilled – she did not like the name “Nellie” and threatened me when I suggested using Nellie as [...]

Sundays are, perhaps, my favorite day of the week. I believe in the holiness of the Sabbath and I keep it as such. Therefore, I do no shopping, cleaning or work on Sundays. Sundays are reserved for worship, family, and renewal (read: afternoon nap!). Ahhh… but Fridays! Fridays are definitely my next favorite and holy [...]

Garret and I recently took a last-minute trip to Arizona to visit family and friends. We had a great time traveling together; sometimes laughing, sometimes crying and, often, sitting in peaceful silence together. I love my husband. I am so grateful for his goodness and willingness to keep learning and growing. Garret is not a [...]
