S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night, S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night

1. 

I made this. My mom gave me the inspiration last year and we bought all the ornaments right after Christmas so they were cheaper, then we didn’t want to make it till we moved and other things have been taking priority. So I finally did it and I’m so pleased with how it turned out :) 

2. I raked the leaves in the yard today which is nice that falls under my job and yard care reaponsibilities so we get discounted rent. I love discounted rent 

3. I spoke with my mom, then my dad, then Connor, then my mom again all for a nice chunk of time. It was a nice day to chat. I’m excited to go up there in two weeks! 

Rainy days and Friday’s

1. 

I do hard things at work.. :) we decorated for boss day on Monday. 


Picture of Mycah getting her nutrageous bars yesterday at the party. 

On my walk home. I love this season. I hope I’m sufficiently soaking it all in. 

This stud went to get extra credit for a class and had to take a selfie. So he sent it to me and I 😍😍😍 till he got home. 

Just pictures today, since that seems to be a pretty good scale for how I’m doing depression wise. More photos = less depression in my world. Not a conscious choice, just something I’ve picked up on over the years. 

Surprise! Mycah’s house

1. We pulled off surprising Mycah with all her gifts! It was a lot of work, but so unbelievably fun! I’m so glad it turned out well. 

2. I successfully made dairy free zoupa toscana and got a lot of compliments. It was really good :) 

3. I had dinner with Michele. I love that woman. I’m glad we get to be friends and family and spend all this time together. She makes me feel spoiled and so so loved. 

4. I went to the gym after dinner and did 4 miles on the elliptical! I love ellipticals! And I really love the gym. 

Thank heaven for days like these

1. Work has got me pretty far down, thank heaven for Connor who lifts me right back up. 

2. We made soup today!! I have never been very skilled with soup making so I’m grateful for the way this one smells. Can’t wait to eat it tomorrow! 

3. We finished putting together Mycah’s gifts and they’re all situated in the car. I just can’t think where to put them tomorrow before lunch so she doesn’t see them. I’ll ask Dorothy when I get in to stash them in mammo somewhere. I’m so excited!! 

(Backup) Funnancial

1. Connor got a step closer to figuring out what the rest of his career is going to look like. I’m excited for our future and babies. 

2. Today was a wonderful day at work! I covered the front desk because poor Lindsay was sick :( I enjoy working at the front desk every now and again. I love talking with patients and I miss that in my every day job. 

3. I got over 10,000 steps again today! Our team is killing this challenge! 

Knees and things

1. Last night I told Connor my nose was cold, we had been trying to sleep for about 20 minutes at this point and he just got up and left. I heard rummaging around then silence. Long enough that I got concerned so I followed him to see what was up. He met me just outside the room and presented me with a neatly folded tissue and some tape. Then proceeded to attempt to tape it to my face unsuccessfully because I was laughing too hard. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. I hope I didn’t wake the neighbors 😂

2. Connor and I went straight to the gym after I picked him up from campus and I crushed 4 miles on the elliptical! Now my knee is killing me and Connor thinks it looks crooked, I think I’ve put off the physical therapist long enough. Maybe someday I’ll be able to crouch down again!  

3. For FHE we read our patriarchal blessings and discussed the relevance they have to our current situation, mine made me more grateful for my sweet and kind husband. It says things like harsh words won’t be spoken in our home and we will bless each other and our kids, if you’d like to learn more about patriarchal blessings visit Mormon.org it’s a blessing given by Heavenly Father through an ordained patriarch specific to you. I love mine and hope to refer to it more often. 

Stake conference

1. Another Sunday without regular church. I miss our ward, they’re fun people. But we heard some things in the conference about our patriarchal blessings that made Connor come home and read his to get more guidance down our directional path. Give it to God, then go to work. 

2. 

3. We made cookies and delivered them to some friends and to Maia. I love her :) 

4. I miss having early church, we did so many other things afterwards and just fully enjoyed the day.
