So, I’ve tried for years to get Tom to post on the family blog – but for whatever reasons he’s a no show here. But he has finally decided to enter the game and you can find his blog at Schadenfreudessister (don’t ask!). Also, you will not find his name anywhere – he has created an alternate identity (if you […]
Haven’t posted in awhile – and I have no pictures – so I’ll warn you up front. Still, I’m feeling the need to say something. We’ve enjoyed a quiet Sunday afternoon. Tom substituted in Primary for the 7 year olds. All boys (5 of them). I was there for sharing time but left him to fend for himself while I […]

Why is it so hard to focus on the positives?? Despite the fact that Tom & I had a good weekend (see below) and Tom had an phone interview on Monday (which was an answer to a specific prayer) – in fact, despite that we are overflowing with blessings too numerous to count here – I still find myself easily […]
So – we’ve come to the end of another General Conference and there were SO many great talks. I found myself being reminded over and over again how grateful I am for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Elder Holland’s talk on Christ’s crucifixion and the idea of being alone and how we are never alone was so moving. Beyond that, […]
So, the tiling work is finished (except for sealing the grout, which won’t change the look at all). Here’s some pictures. Now we just need to sand all the wood and do some painting – we’re thinking white trim paint. So, what do you think??
So, this gives me hope – my brother Alex, got laid off a couple of months ago and he got a job today! We just have to stay positive and pray hard! and look hard! for work. Tom’s been going stir-crazy a bit – if it would get warm he could work on putting our new windows in … but […]
Despite the prodigious amounts of snow that fell last week, the snow was pretty much gone by Saturday (gotta love Denver weather!) and now we’re having another snowy day (though the forecast is for a measly 2-6 inches). I personally am glad to have the snow – I’ve missed it this winter – but it is a little odd in […]
Tom called me yesterday afternoon on his way home – he has been laid off. We have mixed feelings. On the one hand, no one wants to be out of work – and we say that from experience. On the other hand, I don’t know that Tom has ever worked in such an unpleasant environment and was already beginning the […]
Sadly, Yakkel just quit hosting us – at least that’s what we think happened. All of sudden we were getting a “404 Error” page and attempts to contact Yakkel were unsuccessful. On the upside – we have our own domain now – thewoodfamilyblog.com – which is kindof cool, although not very imaginative!! I learned a lot about importing and exporting […]
