(Sidenote–I am a really good vacation blogger–I need to do better with the everyday stuff that actually makes up our life!) Where to even begin?? We Slayed this trip, as the teens would say. We leaned hard into our Disney bounds and they turned out amazing!! We called this a “work trip” for my Etsy…
Sacrament Meeting Talk: How Regular Time in the Temple Strengthens Faith in Jesus Christ Brothers and sisters, I am grateful for the chance to share a few thoughts today on how regular temple attendance strengthens our faith in Jesus Christ. As I’ve reflected on my experiences over the last several years, I’ve realized that the…
What an absolute honor and adventure to get to attend Jessica and Lucas’s wedding in Roatan. Jessica was a picture-perfect bride, and as always, I love being with my Hawaii friends. I almost got turned away at customs! Apparently, someone else with a similar name was on some kind of watch list, and they had…

I loved watching you in your first driving lesson at the airpark; you handled it like…
Welp….I guess 2025 isn’t my year for blogging anything but vacations. So, let’s do a quick catch up and then on to the important stuff like Josh’s High School Graduation and Blake’s 16th birthday.
