New Year New Goals

Today is January 1, 2025. A lot has happened since I last wrote. But one of my goals this year is to journal more and this is where I want to share. This has been a really hard, miraculous and joyful time for us. I am grateful for good health. That has been a blessing for our family! David has been working on his own for the past 1.5 years. He has been writing code to create an A.I. bot that will speak to you. In different languages soon too! This has been a time of a lot of late nights. Lonely times. David works from home but interaction with each other is small. This has been very hard for us and I don't know what normal looks like anymore. Communication for us has always been hard and this has made it 10xs harder. There is never a cut off time for work. David is back to getting 2,4,6 hours of sleep every night. The pull to provide is something I don't know how to feel he is experiencing. So I just try to support him how I know how. Stay out of his way and l...

Thankful

I am so thankful for my family today. They mean everything to me!  We are celebrating Thanksgiving with just us again this year. I have come to embrace and love everything about it. I have rallied the troops in helping prepare the food. Jenna made a blueberry pie, Alyssa made banana pudding jello, Jason prepared the turkey and broth for the gravy with the turkey neck, Melanie made the stuffing, Cameron made a chocolate pudding pie. I fill in the holes and make the rest. It is really fun and the kids love helping to prepare!  We have so many blessing to be thankful for. The biggest being the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our knowledge of the Plan of Salvation, and the true joy of the gospel.

Yard Overhaul

I was so excited...memorial day weekend=David for 2 whole days!! So what did I have planned? Work that I couldn't do alone. The kind that required a real man. I'll just mention that David did not hold the same excitement as I did when Saturday morning came, but of course being the good husband he is, he got the job done. First, David went to Home Depot to rent a chain saw, a very dull one I might add. The trees in the back yard weren't standing for long. A very messy apple tree, a cherry tree that didn't produce anything and 4 small, scraggly trees that were in terrible spots. The yard looked so much better, and bigger after taking those out. I won't be picking up rotten apples this year!! While David was busy getting the chainsaw at home depot, I was busy working on the "rock garden". The rocks are on a small u-shaped hill and buried. I always had to weed eat around them and they were just a pain. I couldn't take it anymore. So the kids a...
