Daily Reflections

 2021...What a year! Some Highlights: I read the Book of Mormon 4 times this year (one time I finished in 29 days!) We studied the Doctrine and Covenants for Come follow Me! Lizzie Started Highschool (and seminary)! William started Kindergarten! I got depressed being home without the kids...so I got my first job in 14 years! I was called to be the ward Young Women President in January. Jon is still serving in the Bishopric, this year as the 2nd Counselor. Bryce was ordained to the office of a Deacon and serves as the Deacon Quorum President. Jon broke his foot in March and had to have surgery. Our fruit trees produced no fruit this year, which was sad. Lizzie was extremely sick for about 2 months.  She had ovarian cysts, major constipation, and valley fever! We had the opportunity to listen to two General Conferences, which are my favorite holiday's. We went to Last Vegas after Christmas 2020, we went to Utah for Kynzlee's baptism, we went to Utah for the 4th of July holiday, ...

 Holy Cow!  What happened to the last month?!  I'll do my best to summarize.  One of my New Years Goals is to get back into the habit of journal writing...even if just once a week on Sunday's. We went to Las Vegas for a few days before Thanksgiving.  We met up with Craig, Amanda, Jazzlyne, Kynzlee, Alyssa, Ellie, and Dad and Lisa.  It was a lot of fun! Alyssa came back to our house afterwards with us.  She stayed all the way until we drove her back up to Utah for Christmas.  We were in Utah from about December 22nd to the 28th.  It was a memorable trip!  We stayed at Tara's house for 3 nights and Dad's house for 3 nights.  We enjoyed an epic traditional Christmas Eve Feast with Tara and Craig's family.  It was wonderful -- I know Mom was there in Spirit.  Santa found the kids at Tara's house and left some gifts.  We gave the kids our gifts a week early when we were still at home.  We went to Dad's house on Christ...
