Each day Andrew has been taking a car load of our possessions up to Sandy when he goes to work. It has worked out really well and has helped us pace our packing amidst our busy schedules. Today we emptied the kitchen cupboards (which we are hoping isn’t premature) and made a few discoveries: 1….
Family
Three Amigos
Three and a half years ago, three Iowa kids (well, technically two of the kids were from other places too, but that is where the three first met junior year of high school) found themselves in Utah. They had a wonderful time going to football games, devotionals, and hanging out in their spare time….
Our last Friday night before the move
Well technically we will still be in our apartment next week, but hopefully it will be a very empty place! So last night we made it great! It began with Andrew making a banana pineapple strawberry smoothie! He looks good in an apron too! Next we went to the International Cinema on BYU campus to…
Wood Projects
A year ago plus two weeks, Andrew and I were bringing home our first labors of love: our walnut end table and coffee table that we spent the fall building. They are well used and beloved today. Andrew’s coffee table is in the back. Good thing the ride was only 5 minutes – I was…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Full disclosure – every one of these pictures was taken before Thanksgiving. But we enjoyed Thanksgiving thoroughly. Look at the beautiful fall leaves I pass every day walking to campus!

Good things keep coming.
Whether it is difficult to let go of a good thing and move on, or life is full of challenges, the good news is that good things keep coming. Life is meant to be full of changes. We are meant to grow. We are meant to have experiences. And the good will keep coming.
Lessons Learned
It is safe to turn on the TV again now that the elections are over. I also have no reason to turn on the TV now that the elections are over. Frozen yogurt always tastes good. And we keep testing that theory just to be sure. When you pray to know where to move, that…
Grading
Normally I am the one at night who comes home with the most homework. Today Andrew won. He brought in a HUGE stack of papers, the size of a couple of textbooks, to grade. The done ‘pile’ now covers the floor. Notice that our carpet no longer exists (these are assignments that don’t need to…
