It was a long day at work today. There was a problem with a certain system in place and work and Mike was involved with it all day. I was still at the office at 7:30 when Mike Allen was ready to leave. It was so supposed to be Mike Allen’s day off, but he came in to help with the small crisis. He offered to take me home. He lives in Riverton so Alpine was well out of his way. I wanted to get home and see my kids before they were in bed so...

I have a new home teaching companion – Brother Gillette. We visited the Hausers and Whites after church today. It was fun. I love Brother Gillette. He’s a great guy. I love the families we visit as well. I could get really comfortable with this situation.

These evening we watched a movie together at home. We watched Escape From Witch Mountain on Netflix. It was a fun show. Gehrig was a littel confused with the title: Gehrig: “Which mountain?”Me: “Witch mountain.”Gehrig: “Yeah, which mountain?”Me: “Witch mountain.”… rinse & repeat … I think Nolan was a little nervous with all the action. He fell asleep clinging to my...

I had a church basketball game tonight. I told Rachel I wanted to take Gehrig with me. I used to enjoy watching my dad play softball when I was young. OK, maybe I didn’t watch very much, but I just enjoyed being there. Rachel was worried that he would run around the church and cause havoc. I think he needed to get out of the house anyway. When I told him he was coming with me, he was very excited. He wanted to go sit in the car before I...

It’s been a few days since I have written. I’ve been a busy boy. Around 1:30 AM I rolled over, right on top of Nolan. He seems to be getting good at sneeking into our bed each night. Generally I’m too tired to do anything about it. This morning I was so frustrated I just decided to get up and start working. I’m working on building my business. It seems there is so much to do, it is hard to know WHAT part to work on...

For whatever reason, Nolan was extra clingy in nursery today. So I ended up staying the whole time. It was just Nolan and one other boy. The Nursery leaders are a married couple and they have a nursery age boy. He was pretty tired and ready for a nap, so the wife took him home and it was just us four guys. It was pretty fun actually.

Today was a fun day. I snowed last night and this morning. After we did a few chores and shoveled the driveway I took the kids sledding. After we got back we drove to Sandy to a dollar theater and watched “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs”. It was much better than I expected. It was the first time we attempted to take Nolan to the movies. He did well. At one point we looked over and he had one hand covering his eyes. He seems to get...
