Over the past few days (26th through today), Angela’s Brother Jim, his wife Heather, and their 3 kids came to visit us.

Today, Sarah took the ACT for the second time. She has been studying very hard and taking all kinds of practice tests. She really wants to get at least a 30. She said that this one was a little bit easier than the last one. Hmmm… I wonder if it has anything to do with

A couple of months ago, we got a call out of the blue from my Uncle Mike and Aunt Pat. They were taking a trip out to our area (to see Chicago and then Nauvoo) and wanted to know if they could stay with us for a couple of days! We were excited for visitors
What a great last 2 days of General Conference! Fortunately we were able to be home for it (back from our trip) and able to watch all the sessions on TV (streaming from the Internet). We were a little worried about whether we would be able to watch it (overwhelming Internet streaming traffic), but it
Happy April Fools Day! 🙂 We are finally home from our family vacation now and can sleep in our own beds! We got up early, ate breakfast, and drove the 700+ miles (12+ hours) home. It is good to be back and finally out of the van. We had such a wonderful time and got
