Today is Sunday and it’s St. Patrick’s Day. I’m thinking about my family. Particularly about my baby brother Nick. He’s a one of a kind sort of person. He went to BYU when he was just 17. He’s now 20 and in the 3 1/2 years since he started college, he won first prize atContinue reading “Building Mountains”

Imagine a place filled with beautiful green plants, sparkling lights, white orchids, and happy confident single adults smiling, laughing and enjoying themselves. Tonight was magical. I did my best to organize things ahead of time to avoid stress, but of course there were complications. My dear friend Larissa’s fabulous lover man Rob Ferre came withContinue reading “A Beautiful Event”

I missed two days of blogging. I’m sorry. I will make up for it! This whole experiment of grateful blogging every day has been an interesting journey. My life is so much better today than it was. And I don’t think I did much to change it. As I wander through the minefield of sharingContinue reading “Spoiled”

I wish I could have taken a picture. I had just ordered a fruit smoothie at McDonald’s in the Walmart on 1300 S. Two blind guys stood just outside the McDonald’s and the first guy says, “Is this customer service?” The girl behind the counter didn’t miss a beat. Without a hesitation, she left herContinue reading “Customer Service”

Today was a great Monday! I am training two weekend warriors to take over for the last guy who moved to Denver. Because Mike was here training, I was able to go with family to lunch! Nick is super tall. Much taller than I remember. The kid is a giant!  We ate at California PizzaContinue reading “Delicious”

Today was wonderful. I think I packed more into today than I probably should have, but it was worth it. I talked to my brother Nick on the phone for a good 3 hours. It was wonderful to just hear about his mission. He is such an amazing person. Today at church, the choir sangContinue reading “A Day of Rest… ha ha ha”

Sorry about the negative post yesterday. I was disgustingly sad yesterday. I kept crying. That was the most annoying part of yesterday. Tears were a combination of hormones, stress, and a lingering depression that I’m trying to kick right now. The fact is–I get depressed. Right after my mission, a doctor told me I wasContinue reading “Joy and Misery”

So what does one post on days when one is feeling like a proverbial pile of poo? I could post various piles of poo and draw smiles on the piles of poo and caption them: Me. I could post a super sad song list. I could pretend to be chipper and make up a pretendContinue reading “I’m Annoyed”

 What on earth is my nephew Konner doing in the Salt Lake International Airport?  He cheers!  He flexes!  He…umm…Zombies? He shakes his groovy groove thang.  Oh!  His Uncle Nick is home from Sweden today!! Guess who made the sign?  That’s right… I am wicked with cutting out letters! (Can I say wicked when talking aboutContinue reading “Happy Happenings at the Airport”

I just read a wonderful talk by Carolyn J. Rasmus called “The Enabling Power of The Atonement”. I was struck by a number of things. She was telling a friend in need scriptures that would comfort her. She says, “As each scripture came to my mind, I felt that I was being prompted by theContinue reading “Be Not Afraid”
