I don’t actually know if “playgroup” is supposed to be one word or two. So, I’ll just switch off as the mood strikes me. It’ll keep things exciting. Anyone know the official word on the correct way to write it? Yesterday afternoonwe went to a play group organized by some ladies in my new ward. [...]

We made it to California! Yay! We actually got here a couple of weeks ago, but I haven’t had constant access to a computer like I’m used to until today. The truck arrived yesterday, and was unloaded by Colin and some generous men from our new Elder’s Quorum and my sister-in-law’s very helpful boyfriend. Thanks [...]

We’re moving tomorrow and it feels like it snuck up on me. As with all moves, it’s bittersweet to think of leaving. It’s exciting to start something new in a different place, but the little roots I’ve put down here are going to hurt as they’re torn up. If I had any energy right now, [...]

Two of my sisters, Abby and Phoebe, came to help me last week, and I just dropped the second one off at the airport. I cannot believe how much they got done in just a few days! Most of my house is boxed up and cleaned already! My mind is still spinning with relief, since [...]
Friday our air conditioner condenser drain overflowed (again) and it took until this afternoon for the apartment complex people to get anyone out here to fix it and clean up the lovely flooded carpet mess. Now we get to have three big fans blowing in our halls and the kids’ bedroom for two days. Note: [...]

We’ve been working on figuring out what to do job-wise when the school year ends for a while now, and last week Colin’s parents asked him to work at their print shop in MIll Valley, CA. They also generously offered to let us live with [...]
I just planted 52 red pansies in my front yard planter. I also sprayed down the front of the house with the hose, as Mark suggested. It looks very nice, if I do say so myself. Colin started taking down the christmas lights, but it's raining outside so he didn't finish and there are strands [...]
We're moving to Arkansas, so we're selling our wonderful house here. It goes on the market today for $315,000. I'm overwhelmed with the idea of getting and keeping the house clean and packed, but it's got to be done (no, it's not done yet). And it'll be nice to live in a pristine place. This [...]

Today I got to go to the Geneva Branch in our Stake, a branch that's held at a retirement care center nearby. We had two Sacrament Meetings, one for the old but lucid people and the other for the old and Alzheimer/dementia people. I was asked to give a ten minute talk, which ended up [...]
