Trips and Activities
Samantha's baptism! My parents couldn't come, but the Heads (inc. Anna and Jacob) came and stayed over the weekend. We had a really nice time with them and friends.
weekend visit from Nash. He installed a new bathroom fan for us. The old one sounded terrible!
dinner with the Boyles at our house
picnic with Rex and Melodie at Flaming Gorge since they were working in Rock Springs and that's about the halfway point. We had the perfect weather.
Birthdays and Holidays
took the fam out for Chinese on Labor Day (a new-ish 3-day weekend tradition)
Weather
VERY rainy (4 inches this month, which is like 6 months' worth of "moisture")
otherwise really pleasant
Sickness
mild cold
Repairs and Projects
got the sink remounted
new microwave
new dishwasher
new water heater
new HVAC
new garage door opener
timers for both bathroom fans downstairs
made collages and printed them for the beach bathroom downstairs
finished making the girls' skirts (from last year) for fall and winter
made PJ pants and some shorts for Lewis from cute dinosaur fabric
put together my cherry blossom Lego set that James gave me for Christmas and installed a cute shelf for it
made matching peasant dresses for the girls and a yoga skirt for me from fabric from Grandma Lee
As of last Friday, after living here for over 2 months, I feel happy that we moved. It helps a lot that all the appliances work as intended. I sometimes miss my old ward, but this house feels like home. I'm grateful that I get to walk the little kids to and from school every day. It gives me meaningful exercise and sunshine, plus cute conversations.
The tasks left for us seem doable over many weekends (especially the yard). It's no longer a construction zone, but a home.
