Truth
I’ve been thinking a lot about how one determines truth. Absolute truth. Unchanging truth. Over the last few weeks I’ve read conference talks by men I believe are prophets and apostles. I’ve perused various websites written by religious academics and religious skeptics. I’ve read the scriptures. I’ve talked to people I trust: my husband, my…

Flings
I’m prone towards “flings.” Two years ago it was gardening. I started a blog, I spent all my birthday money on gardening stuff, I read obsessively about all things green, I experimented with botanical photography, I spent all my free time outside. . . This year, it’s nutrition. I’m an avid reader of Word of…

Ugh!
Scotter and I have both been sick for the last two weeks. Scotter just finished up his round of antibiotics, but still seems to be suffering from something- as he’s still clingy, easily upset, and isn’t eating well.

Happy 1st birthday Scotland!
Scotter turned one yesterday. As a result of all three of us being sick, the fact that we just got back from vacation, and my needing to teach all day, we didn’t celebrate. We’ll do that Saturday. Here’s to hoping we’re all feeling better. (Scotter’s the sickest he’s ever been with double ear infections and…

The Big Reveal!
So, I’ve hesitated to post this because it isn’t the FINAL reveal. But it is certainly the biggest reveal so here you go. These pictures are actually quite lovely. You can’t tell how grody the countertop actually is. I took these the morning before the granite installation. After looking at them, I had an internal…
