I just got off the phone with David. He was in much better spirits than yesterday. He finally passed the swallow test…he can have thick liquids, like yogurt, pudding and pureed foods…but not thin liquids like milk and water. He celebrated with a chocolate milkshake. He said the hospital shake was pretty mediocre, but he […]
I am so excited for Presidents Monson, Eyring, and Uchtdorf. May the Lord be with them in this time of transition, and the sustaining vote of all the Saints be “unanimous in the affirmative.” (more)
I talked to my dad yesterday…and today was the first time he seemed very downtrodden since the accident. He’s been more cognizant of his pain and injuries, and has been having some insomnia. He was thankful that Taylor brought him a large stash of music and movies to keep him occupied and sane. He talked […]
Yesterday, Rosie and I took an adventure into Ann Arbor, which is about 20 minutes from Canton. There had been an 8″ snowfall, and school had been closed for the day. There was a concert I wanted to catch in the afternoon at Borders, so Rosie and I made a day trip of it and […]

Today I watched President Hinckley’s funeral online. The above quote was on the KSL website throughout the services. It was a beautiful funeral, full of the spirit and insight into the life of one of the most influential leaders of the church since Joseph Smith. I will miss his wit and guidance, but rejoice in […]
David got out surgery on Thursday night around 9:30. The surgery went as well as can be expected. Unfortunately, they didn’t get the dosing of pain medication correct for almost two hours post-op. He was in miserable pain, the worst he’d felt since the actual accident. He is more awake and less groggy than when […]
I am not modest about the fact that I love to bargain shop. I keep caches of coupons, piles of punchcards, and am on more email distribution lists for coupons than I care to count. To give you an idea of how much I save, here is a list of of items I purchased today […]
