  • Unexpected note

    Last night when Tom and I arrived home from the Stake Adult session, we saw a pot that usually sits in the front of our house sitting on our side lawn. It made me nervous, wondering who had been messing around by our house. I went immediately inside and into the front to make sure…

  • Zoo Day!

    Friday afternoon Tom and I drove down to meet Trevor, Lauren, Bryce and Dallin in Columbus. They used Priceline to reserve a hotel room for $40.00. So we had dinner, swam in the pool, and then enjoyed an evening of talking and general fun. The next morning, after eating the delicious muffins Lauren made and…

  • Clarification

    I asked the below question not because I have that money but just because I often think about how I would spend extra money if I did. For example, I would certainly love, even adore, to drop a couple hundred dollars at the nursery. But this afternoon when I went, I couldn’t get myself to…

  • Yikes!

    Is it okay if my tomato plants are two and a half feet tall before I can plant them outside?

  • Half way done!

    So I am unofficially done with my first year of grad school! I still have three finals to take, but the classwork is done. This year has flown and I hate to think that in just one more year I will be preparing for graduation and the inevitable “What’s next?” This has been a great…

  • Opera Scenes

    Claire Connelly, Anjin Stewart-Funai, Me, Megan Crews Friday night I sang in CIM’s opera scenes program. I played Constance from “The Sorcerer,” a lesser known Gilbert and Sullivan work. It was interesting, because in the dress rehearsal on Wednesday I felt really on top of my game, I felt immersed in the character and I…
