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 start 2010, [...]

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 on this planet [...]

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 to [...]

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 in their [...]

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 [...]

There will be none of the usual secular trappings of Easter at our home this year. No Easter baskets, no Cadbury Creme eggs, no egg dying, no jelly bean trail. None of it.
There will be a Church service focused on Jesus Christ and the miracle of the resurrection. The power of the Atonement is [...]

It’s the little things that make life so worth it. Every now and then a big thing comes along and that makes it even more worth while; but day-to-day those small moments are what get me out of bed.
Nikaela has been coming over frequently this week to re-finish some furniture. Her condo-conversion doesn’t have quite [...]
