I had another interview today. It was in a building right across the street from the one I interviewed with yesterday. I feel the interview went quite well. I didn’t struggle with any of the questions and the interview was enjoyable. This was a much smaller company. They were in the middle of remodel so the office was torn apart. The secretary had here newborn baby with her (just as our secretary used to do a few months ago). It...

One of the great blessings of the Holy Ghost is to help us remember things (John 14:26). My patriarchal blessing states that I would be able to remember the things I learn in school and use them as I need them. Today was one such occasion. I’m currently interviewing for a new job – mainly because Rachel wants to move down to Utah county, closer to her family and I don’t want to have to commute that far. As I drove to my...

This morning some friends of our came to visit. John & Lisa were in our old ward. They have 3 daughters about the same age as each of our children. They moved to St. George just before we moved to this house. They were in the area visiting family and decided to stop and see us on their way home. We chatted for a couple hours while our kids played in the play room. Rachel and Lisa became good friends while they were visiting teaching...

I don’t know for sure. Gehrig has a terrible temper though – especially when he is hungry or tired. He can get very stubborn and out of control to the point where there is nothing you can do but let him be. Today we went swimming at Rachel’s...

I finished the Book of Mormon yesterday. I used to keep track of how many times I have read it. I have a set of scriptures that has dates of each time I completed it on the last page. I haven’t kept up with that though. I would say it might be approaching the teens. Before reading the Book for Mormon, I read the Bible. Now I am moving on to the Doctrine & Covenants. Embarrassingly, I have never really studied the Doctrine &...

Yesterday I went to the Grocery store to get some milk for Nolan. I withdrew my “blow money” (Rachel and I get $40 per month for “blow money”, it used to be $20, but we upped it when we got out of debt.) and the machine gave it to me in 5 dollar bills. I thought at the time, “what a pain in the butt”… literally. When I get too much cash, my wallet swells and it is uncomfortable to sit on. Generally, it will give me 2 $20...
