Tuesday morning Tom called me at work to say that his contract had ended (at least for now) and what did I think about going out to Utah for the 4th of July holiday? I wasn’t happy to get this call – I wanted this contract to last longer and I didn’t think I wanted to make such a short […]
A couple of weeks ago the Mormon Tabernacle Choir ended their tour with a final concert at Red Rocks here in Denver. Tom & I debated whether to go or not and finally decided we should go and see his sister sing, since it is her final tour with the choir. We bought a couple of extra tickets and invited […]
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 […]
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 […]
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!
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 […]

Quick on her feet, with the patience to track those elusive little critters, Micah will bring a variety of rodents right to your very door. In addition, she will […]
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, […]
