Today was a sweet day. Today, we prepped and served lunch at the Ronald McDonald House. We grated carrots and browned hamburger and dumped in cans of beans until the biggest pot of minestrone I’ve ever made simmered with the smell basil and love. We tossed salad and baked cookies and watched brave…
LIGHT the WORLD
I’m writing this from radioactive isolation. Probably not what you were expecting, huh? Well, it’s true. It’s the big reason why this little blog has fallen silent over the last year. There were bigger things happening. It was one of those times when life yelled, “STOP!” so loudly that there was no other choice…
Say Yes to Donate the Dress
Prom is a big event to many high school students. With the cost of a formal dress or tuxedo, paying to get your hair and nails done, going out to eat, getting a limo, getting prom pics, and paying for the prom itself– it is outrageous! The cost of prom in the United States in…

I was recently called as a family history consultant in our new ward. It’s a new-to-me calling and I’m learning a lot and enjoying it! We were asked to put on an activity for the youth in our ward and decided to do a Mission Possible theme. It was fun, pretty simple to put on,…
