So – I have been making small excursions into Facebook – mostly to catch-up with old friends from my “past lives”. I decided to join a group – BYU Alumni – should be a safe group, right? Well, whoever is “in charge” of the group posted an old picture of cheerleaders. The first comment was about how different the uniforms were – long sleeves, very modest – the poster thought they were “sweet”. Someone else quickly replied “Modesty like all good priciples can be taken too far. Unfortunately too many members become obsessed with it and turn it into a gospel hobby.” I replied “really, you can take modesty too far?” That was enough for someone else to turn into a raving maniac. This person took the first comment as an implication that today’s...
I posted a new entry on LDS Activity Days Ideas – under prayer. Also, if you haven’t ever looked at it, there are entries on the LDS Religion tab for Andrew & Haley’s baptism days, as well as a couple of essays. I’ll try and upload a new picture album in the next couple of weeks. If you can’t see the picture albums, will you let me know? I’m trying to get those figured out. Read More →
If only my little kids weren’t still in school!!! The weather has been beautiful and the summer twilight lasts and lasts … too bad I have to put my kids to bed for school the next morning. Last night Andrew would not go to bed – or at least, he was in his room, but would not stop playing. At 9:30 I went in and scolded him. 5 minutes later I heard noises – he was up with the caulking gun in hand (silly me, leaving it in his room). He had emptied about half the tube into the crawl space under his window. Lovely. I put him out on the deck and told him to go ahead and play if he must. After I had calmed down and done some thinking, I brought him back in and put him to work. Got the dishwasher unloaded, a load of clothes folded, and the trash carried out to the curb. I finally sent him back to bed about...
So, I posted about the job search and Tom got offered a job today. Before you all start sending off fireworks, let me hasten to add that it is a contract job – currently estimated to last 2-3 months. So it’s not a permanent solution, but it is income and we are grateful to have it!! Tom will continue to job search in the hope of getting something permanent. This contract job is for the State of Colorado, and he will be working in Lakewood. So the commute won’t be as bad as when he was working in Broomfield. Anyhow, we appreciate all your encouraging words and thoughts and prayers and we are so grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who is ever mindful of our needs. Read More →
There’s not a lot to report, but today Tom has had quite a few calls from recruiters – more than he’s had in a couple of weeks, so that is encouraging. We appreciate all the prayers on our behalf – you are all awesome! Read More →
