Last night I listened to an old audio clip I had called “wake up productive”. It was a good refresher. I fell asleep to it though. Looking back, today was a pretty productive day. I got a lot done. We had our granite installed this afternoon. After work I took the kids to Lowe’s (Rachel had a night out with her sister and some friends) and bought some stuff I need to install the sink and faucet. I got it all installed and also...

We found out that our Granite counter-tops are going to be installed in the morning. That will be nice. They are doing most of it, but Janet (Rachel’s aunt) will be doing our island with a peice of granite that Laura had left over from the restaraunt. That is the last major thing we are doing for now. We’ve run out of money and even gone a bit overboard. So now we are going to have another goal in 2009 to get out of debt again. For...

I’m not sure what his calling is, but I’m pretty certain he is an Elder. They were very friendly and it...

Our Bishop dropped by tonight. It was sort of unexpected. What surprised me was that he rang the doorbell. Our doorbell was not working so I took it apart and fund that it was the button outside. So I took it off and we went to Home Depot tonight and bought a new one. so we just had two wires sticking out. If you touch the wires, the doorbell rings. I thing it was funny that he actually did that 🙂 He probably visited for a half hour or so to...
