Barf Humbug and a Happy New Year

Note to self.

Do not attempt to move at Christmas time, do a "moving vacation", and above all try really, really, really hard to not have vomiting children during a move. Experiencing all three at the same time is too un-fun.







We had a great Christmas season, despite having barfing children. After New Years celebrations, we left Utah for a fun trip to Las Vegas. We wanted to visit temples along the way to Texas, and we thought we could do a kid-friendly version of Las Vegas. There are a lot of fun things to do there, but we had to play the "close your eyes until we get there" game. We cut our vacation short after Leslie sprained her ankle for the second time in a week, and when the kids started throwing up (again). We needed laundry facilities! We camped out in our empty rental home for a few days (but at least had a washer and dryer) and now we are in the chaos of unpacking and finding a place for everything, even if it is the dumpster or donation pile.

We enjoyed our first week at church, even though it seems like a very small chapel (6 rows of pews in the chapel). The people were super friendly and the peace that the gospel brings is constant. I love that.

Here is to a productive and un-vomiting week!


This is me, in my true form, being a dork. Enjoy.
