Priesthood session of general conference was awesome tonight. I especially loved Elder Eyring’s talk – mostly because I felt the Spirit the most during his talk, but they were all great and seemed to center around the theme of bouying us up and assurring that us that as we are on the Lord’s errand we are entitled to the Lord’s help, and he will help us. During Elder Eyring’s talk he spoke about a mission president...

We went out to dinner with Lance & Kelli tonight. They wanted to take us out for saying thanks for watching Alyssa while they were delivering their baby. We went to the Mayan because we thought it would be fun for the kids. It was fun to sit and chat with them because we have never really done anything with just them. I think the kids had a ball there too.

Today we went to Costco. As we were leaving, I was putting Gehrig in the car and buckling him up. He grabbed me and gave me a big hug and said, “I want to keep you!”

Lance and Kelli stopped by our house today to show off their new baby boy and to say thank you for watching Alyssa while they were in the hospital all day. They also invited us to go out to dinner with them Friday night. Rachel wasn’t feeling well today so I took her place and walked to the school to pick up Gracie as she came out. It was fun just walking home with her. I can’t believe how big she is getting.

Today was a very interesting day. John (my co-worker) accepted another job offer and gave his two weeks notice. He was the one that talked me down from the ledge when I was looking at other jobs. Apparently it was so he could jump first. In any case. I was supposed to be paid last Friday, but I didn’t get my direct deposit until some time after 5 o’clock today. It was frustrating me so I sent Scott, our company president and owner an...

Often when we are driving in the car, we sing primary songs together. We were singing songs on the way home from Alpine tonight. Rachel and I were tired, so we told the kids “one more song” then we were done. After we sang that song, Gracie asked if she and Gehrig could just keep singing. Gracie started to sing “I Am a Child of God”. Gehrig chimed in with here. It was so sweet to hear them sing that song together.

We bout a bunch of flowers and bushes for our yard this morning so we spent the day working in the yard. While I was digging a hold for one of the plants, I ran into a bunch of cement. I got out the pick axe and went to work on it. Gehrig was watching me chip away at it. I kept stopping to rest and I would say, “this is hard work!” Then I hit my leg with the handle of and said “ouch!” Gehrig asked what hurt and I said I...
