2012-2013

I am so terrible these days at writing in a journal. Truth is I've been terrible at a lot of gospel related things lately, but it's time to change that. Especially now - it's time to change that. But first to other things.  I think I've mentioned before that I'm attending Institute this seme...

Last week we had bitter cold. Yesterday we got about a quarter of an inch of freezing rain. Tomorrow our high is 57 with thunderstorms. Tomorrow night we're supposed to get about an inch of snow. By Thursday night, we'll be back down below zero again. Seriously, only in the Midwest does that happ...

 Today was the first Institute class of the new semester. I actually get to attend Institute this semester since I don't have a class during it. President Evans (the stake president) teaches it and I really like him. I made it to one class last semester and including the Elders and President...

If you've not read it, there's another updated entry before this one. I've opted to start writing again. These entries are being written on ldsjournal.com and I'm pasting them over here. Tuesdays in general are going to be a light day this semester. With only one class on Tuesdays, I can concentr...

I've been on the busy side lately, though not with classes. This semester the reading load is drastically reduced from last semester, something I'm enormously grateful for. On the other hand, it's giving me time to do projects I've not otherwise had time to do. I'm also able to enjoy my Kindle Fi...

  *As a note, this was written over the course Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday* This was on my mind a lot yesterday (Sunday), though I wanted a little distance before writing about it. Yesterday was two weeks since my mom called to tell me my grandmother had passed away. It was actually harde...

Yes, that’s correct. My grandmother passed away very early Sunday morning morning after battling breast cancer for more than 33 years. Before I go there, I need to write on what’s gone on since Christmas. Lots has gone on since the end of last semester. My first semester grades turned...

I'm going to try and be better about updating this year. Of course, that may go out the window as soon as classes start in two weeks. As an update on my life over the last several months, Thanksgiving was good. Stephen and his longtime girlfriend Christina were both here for Thanksgiving and it w...
