Quick Months
Seems like the months have just raced by. Starting with Nicole being born on May 6th, we’ve just had one adventure after another. We’ve had Kathleen’s family in town, which is blessing with some challenges. I’m an introverted person sometimes, and I’m not a great host. Luckily Kathleen makes up for that. I was glad the toads had a chance to get to know Grandma Bunny, Grandpa Bird, and Uncle Brian better. I was also glad for the chance to take a nice long drive with Grandpa Bird; we’re very different, but I felt like that trip was a great chance for us to get to know each other better and improve our bond.
Work is a little nuts. I’m trying to keep track of everything, but I’m so busy managing multiple projects it’s like playing Whack-a-Mole sometimes. It’s good work, and while it’s hard to explain what I actually do, the field is really growing and it’s a good place to be.
My dad and I are building a shed. You could say we’re over-building it; it’s going to be fantastic. 12′ by 12′, very solid so far. The walls are up and we’ll be doing the roof this week. This is the first step in the larger war to come. We have typical Orem soil, which is about 4 parts rock to 1 part dirt. You may think I exaggerate; I’m not. Oh, it’s also about 1 part puncture weed. I had to get a solid tire for the wheelbarrow. Anyway, finally some progress on that front. See some pictures below (thanks Mom!)
Finally, I have a new calling in the church. It’s a little different than I was expecting, but I’m up for it. It means some changes, but it’s a good thing. I think we’ll be blessed. Of course, we’re always blessed.
Anyway, just wanted to give an update of things. Enjoy the pictures below.
