This morning I made a long list of things that I wanted/needed to get done. I had no false illusions that they would all get done. But I was happy to see at the end of the day almost half of them were! This evening we had some neighbors drop in to meet us. I don’t remember their names now, but she is the primary president. 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...

Wow, we got a lot done today. We are getting closer to feeling settled in I think. Tonight I put in a food disposal, two light fixtures, did some painting, put our new bed and two night stands together. I got a call from Bryan (my first counselor in the Elders Quorum).

But mostly I sat at my desk at worked on the computer all day. It just helps me feel I am getting back into a routine and things can normalize soon. It has been hectic for sure.

We went to church at Alex’s (my little sister) ward this morning. Her daughter, London, was blessed. Afterwards we went to Harvey (my mom’s fiance) spa store for a luncheon. The kids sure had fun. There was a fountain in the middle of the stores where they played most of the time and got all wet. It was fun to see all my family. After lunch we cam home and rested for a while, then went to Cade & Leslie’s (Rachel’s...
