I took Gehrig with me home teaching because my companion was heading out of town after church. I was surprised how excited he was. I have taken him a few times. He generally goes off and plays with the kids if we talk for too long. That was the case today. I must have been at the Hauser’s house for an hour and a half. I try to limit my visits to 1/2 hour but I find I enjoy visiting much more than that. I never thought I would be that way....

We had a good weekend in Roosevelt with Family. Grandpa Brighton’s funeral was great. He was a such a great man. He lived a simple life, but he was always honest and had a lot of integrity. I don’t think anyone could say anything bad about that man. The kids had a great time in Roosevelt. I didn’t see much of Gracie. She was always outside – mostly playing with kittens. We couldn’t get Gehrig in the car when it was time to...

I don’t normally blog this early in the day, but I just had a great experience that I wanted to record. Also, we are driving out to Roosevelt tonight for my grandpa’s viewing and funeral so it is more convenient to do it now anyway. This morning I called the lawyer that sent me a cease and desist letter from Finicity (makers of Mvelopes). He was very unfriendly and unhelpful. I’m sure that is his job though. The conversation...

Tonight after the kids went to bed, Rachel and I watched the last lesson of Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University course. It was the lesson on giving and tithing. I think it is my favorite lesson because that is the place I want to be most. I would love to have so much wealth that it would allow me to give much more. I have a feeling that some day I will be at that point.

When I took the job in Salt Lake with SendOutCards, I figured I would start playing Ultimate Frisbee again with the group from 3M in Murray. When I started working last week I was a bit disappointed because we didn’t have a shower in the building. Today I found a shower. It was there all along really. Our bathroom is pretty small really. There is a door in there. I figured it was just a janitors closet. Today when I went in the restroom...

Today someone at work suggested going out to eat for indian food. I thought it would be fun to go out with the guys for lunch. I’m not a big fan of indian food, but it was fun. Mike, our boss came along too. After the meal he ended up paying for everyone, which was a nice surprise too.

Today was a special Sunday. There were no block meetings for church. Instead, members were encouraged to get recommends for the dedication of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I loved the focus they put on it. There were two sessions in our stake – 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Rachel’s parents went to the 9 AM session so they could watch our kids as we went to the 3 PM session. It was a great experience. I have been to three dedications now and they...
