For all our struggles and trials, we have so many things for which to thanks our Maker. I love the WSJ editorial today, recounting the trials of the Plymouth colony. Our ancestors were sturdy souls. Here are a few things I’m grateful for:

DAY 9: On Wednesday we set off for Knoxville. It was a long crowded ride in my mother’s Tribeca, but the kids behaved well and the trip was uneventful. We stopped for lunch at Wendy’s and Nicole enjoyed dancing to the music and making faces with my mother. She was in such a funny [...]

DAY ONE: We were lucky enough to have Zach’s new job pay for a moving company to pack and move our belongings. I think if not for that I really would have lost my sanity. They came at 8:00 AM and worked until 7:00 PM packing and loading our things onto a gigantic semi-truck. [...]

Get a good night’s sleep. Pack a lot of caffeine. Bring all the sessions of General Conference and a couple of Robert Jordan books to listen to. Bring food, water, and extra newspaper for the cats. That was the plan, and for the most part, it worked out well. After 1900 miles of driving, [...]
