Sheri's quote:
"We may not know when or how
the Lord's answers will be given,
but in His time and His way,
I testify His answers will come."
-Elder Robert D. Hales

 I am obsessed with tiny houses. I want James
to build one on our property so we can use it
for a guest house for the kids.
James makes an early morning run to Home Depot.  While he is gone Joel rings the doorbell before 7am and I don't know who it is so I don't answer.  Luckily James came home shortly after.

Some good news for Stacy's family.  All of her three older boys have jobs right now.  Adam is working at Go Daddy, an internet company, Jared Ammon just got a job with Progressive Insurance, and Dallin is working at the new Kneader's on Alma School and Queen Creek. 

James put in GFI plugs in the kitchen and bathrooms and had Joel do one outside.  He and Joel put a railing for the top part of the stairs going to the basement.  He also got another estimate for the roof and for the termite treatment.  

He picked up lunch for us at Jersey Mike's.
 James had a turkey bacon and of course I had 
Mike's Special.
This afternoon we read from "The Baron's Honourable Daughter" and took a nap.  I paid bills and worked on my blog.  I was once 25 days behind and I am gradually catching up by doing two blog posts everyday.  James worked on taxes.  I am glad he hired Joel to come and help with the house, because getting the tax information done and in to our accountant, Rick Oliver, is critical.

Joshua had homework tonight.  He had to write an essay explaining to his dad why he didn't get his bedroom cleaned.  He said Michael made him do all of his chores, including alphabetizing the cereal.
While Joshua was writing his essay Evan wrote a four page
story based on Jurassic World.  He handwriting is so neat and although he was using unlined paper his lines were completely straight.
Amazing!
We went through the drive-thru at Del Taco for dinner.  I had two of the double stuffed tacos.  I think I like them better than Taco Bell's but I definitely like Taco Bell's sauce better.
