For family home evening I read a story from the Friend about a man that joined the church because he sat next to a girl on a bus who recited all the articles of faith to him when he asked what mormons believe. I challenged the kids to learn them all and I told them I would take them out for a milkshake if they could learn all 13. I memorized them in primary and I still remember them. When I was a senior in high school I took a college history...

Last night the kids were making something for fathers’ day and didn’t want me to see. I had to clean up a mess of glue & cut up paper. This morning I got to see what they were up to. They had made birds out of cups and paper. Gehrig’s Angry Bird especially cracked me up! After church I was surprised with a new (really nice) grill on the patio for Fathers’ Day.

I stayed focused and worked through lunch. I got it done by 2:30. Both our QA...

I worked from home today so I could 1) sleep in a bit, 2) save gas & drive to my dr appointmen with Rachel and 3) leave here at 5:15 to play some softball games with Cade’s team in Orem. It’s nice that I have the privilege to work from home when I want or need to. Still, I think I prefer going in to work because I can generally get things done on faster there because of my computer be directly connected to the network. My...
