"The very beauty of the word repentance is the promise of escaping old problems and old habits and old sorrows and old sins. It is among the most hopeful and encouraging - and yes, most peaceful - words in the gospel vocabulary."
-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
Today is the second day of my "diet", which is mainly keeping track of what I eat and limiting my calories.
James asked me again today to go with him to Jared Bowen's office. We read from our new book "A Lady's Honor" on the way there and back. We are both excited about this new book and how it captured our interest right from the beginning. It is interesting how you become familiar with an author's style of writing and start trying to predict who is going to do what based on the last book you read.
For lunch we went to the drive-thru Panda Express and I got my teriyaki chicken bowl only this time I also got a side of beef and broccoli. James ate the beef and I ate the broccoli. We also picked up an orange chicken bowl with noodles for Stacy per her request.
I needed to go shopping this afternoon and decided I would go to Winco instead of Walmart. When I got home I realized the reason I needed to go to Walmart was to pick up my prescriptions. Duh! I guess I will have to wait until Monday.
Winco has the finest display of Little Debbie cakes that
I have ever seen. It reminds me of my good friend Kay who had Little Debbie cakes just about every day.
James picked up the new windows for the house today and realized that two of them were wrong so he had to take them back. He was not happy either with himself or with the guy from Lowe's who he placed the order with. They are low-e double insulated windows.
Dallin and his Harrison Fjiord band friends made a trip to California this weekend to practice with the piano player they are performing with at the instrument museum in Phoenix.
We missed Max's first tackle football game today. He came home just as we were leaving for Michael's track meet to tell me he finished reading the Book of Mormon. I gave him his $50 and told him he would need to come back tomorrow to share his favorite scripture with me. He agreed.
Chandler Rotary is the biggest track meet in all of Arizona. With schools competing from all over the southwest. Michael did very well in his event, which is the 800 race. He got 11th out of 40-60 participants and was 2nd in Arizona. Alexis got 5th, so we are confident they will both go to state.
Two super nice and talented kids.
It was a beautiful night to be outside and was so fun to watch Michael run. James and I took Joshua with us and brought him home so Stacy and Paul could stay a little longer.
