Our Bishop dropped by tonight. It was sort of unexpected. What surprised me was that he rang the doorbell. Our doorbell was not working so I took it apart and fund that it was the button outside. So I took it off and we went to Home Depot tonight and bought a new one. so we just had two wires sticking out. If you touch the wires, the doorbell rings. I thing it was funny that he actually did that 🙂 He probably visited for a half hour or so to...

Wow, we got a lot done today. We are getting closer to feeling settled in I think. Tonight I put in a food disposal, two light fixtures, did some painting, put our new bed and two night stands together. I got a call from Bryan (my first counselor in the Elders Quorum). It was about 9:45 and he had just gotten out of welfare meeting that started at 7:00. He said, “wow, I don’t know how you did that every month!” It was funny...

Rachel’s parents and brother came over tonight. Her mom made us riggatoni for dinner where her dad and brother installed our dishwasher and ran a water line to our fridge. I was in Salt Lake picking up some bedroom furniture that had arrived at Wal-Mart. It is so nice to have helpful family.

It actually felt good to go back to work this morning and not worry about unpacking and fixing stuff all day. I did hand a lot of curtain rods, frames, and shelves though. But mostly I sat at my desk at worked on the computer all day. It just helps me feel I am getting back into a routine and things can normalize soon. It has been hectic for sure.

We went to church at Alex’s (my little sister) ward this morning. Her daughter, London, was blessed. Afterwards we went to Harvey (my mom’s fiance) spa store for a luncheon. The kids sure had fun. There was a fountain in the middle of the stores where they played most of the time and got all wet. It was fun to see all my family. After lunch we cam home and rested for a while, then went to Cade & Leslie’s (Rachel’s...

It was another long busy day in our new home. We did go grocery shopping first thing in the morning so we could have something to eat at least. We made a lot of progress in cleaning and organizing, but still it is hard to tell because it feels like we still have so much to do. I can’t believe how much stuff we accumulated in our old house. We have half a garage full of stuff we don’t need. Ken (my father-in-law) came over today and...

Well, I’ve skipped a couple of days – mainly because I’ve been so tired. I was up until 1:30 AM on Wednesday night packing trucks and trailers. We had a pretty good turnout from ward members to help us load the 26 foot Uhaul truck we rented. Another ward member let me borrow his trailer. I’m so glad. I don’t know what we would have done without it. Yesterday morning, Rachel’s mom, sister and brother in law...
