I didn’t carpool today because Mike has to stay late on Thursdays. It’s not so bad for me really. The traffic wasn’t too bad, plus I got to listen to conference talks on my iPhone. I love how the MP3s are made available so quickly for download on lds.org!

I took my car into the shop yesterday. My seat electric seat got stuck. It felt like the switch was broken but I was told it needed a new motor. Well once they put in the new motor they said the switch was also broken. I got upset with that because that is what I thought it was originally and I didn’t believe the motor was bad. I threw such a fuss that they overnighted the part and got me a rental car for the day. Once they put the switch...

It’s such a beautiful time of year. The leaves are changing color. It love driving home to such a nice area. Today when I got home Rachel had made butternut squash soup. It was so delicious and warming!

I can then listen to them as I commute. I love how the church keeps up with the latest technology.

We spend the day in the cleaning the garage and mowing the lawn. Our garage is now able to fit both of our cars. We also went to Home Depot and ordered two new garage door openers and scheduled to have them installed next week. It was General Conference today as well. We listened to it on the radio as we cleaned. For the priesthood session Ken had tickets to go to the Conference center. He invited Cade and I and some neighbor friends. It was a...

Tonight after putting the kids in bed, Nolan wasn’t yet asleep, he was drinking his nightly chocolate milk. As I walked by his door he said, “I love you daddy.” Of all the words and sentences I’ve heard come out of him, that was my favorite. It was so spontaneous too. That was certainly a tender mercy.
