The kids and I froze our tails off when we went down to the marina on Lake Houston near our house to participate in the annual Trash Bash. Our church ward planned it as a service project for the youth. Since Sarah is counted among this group now that she is in Young Women, I [...]

All of my writing endeavors for the new year have gone on hiatus. I haven’t kept up with my journal on Evernote… I think that lasted a week. I have not written anything personal, digital or otherwise, since my last blog post. I just got invited to use ldsjournal.com and I signed up because of [...]

When I woke up this morning the thermostat read 63 degrees F inside the house. I decided to bake the rest of the gingersnap cookie dough I had in the fridge to warm up. I always hate turning on the heat since we spend most of the year trying to cool down the house. It [...]

Hello, my name is Trish and I’m addicted to FriendFeed. [We love you, Trish.] I never thought I would reach this point, but confess I must. Almost five months ago, my husband joined FriendFeed and I heard of little else. I’m not a geek (a term I use with the utmost love and respect) so [...]

Last night, while tucking in to leftover Thanksgiving turkey on rolls, I asked the kids to name three things they are grateful for. Zack immediately said, “Ok, I’m grateful for you, Daddy and Zoe.” (Poor Seth and Sarah got shafted.) Then Seth said, “TV, my family and DS.” Sarah, ever more mature, said, “Family, books [...]

Whew… I didn’t have to suffer afterall. Our internet access was restored the night before I drove home. Josh texted me while I was on the road yesterday. The drive was clear on the normal route home and the weather was beautiful. A little windy, but maybe it helped blow me home faster. We left [...]

We’re supposed to be hit by Tropical Storm Edouarde today. I like this website for checking updates. I was awake at 6:30am, thanks to Zoe and to my need to finish a book that was dominating my dreams which was making it hard to sleep. Anyway, it wasn’t until around 8:30am that the rain came [...]

I used to mow the lawn (in League City) when Josh couldn’t get to it. Josh couldn’t get to it a lot. Our yard was much bigger back then. We thought that our children would LOVE to have a huge backyard. We didn’t factor in the Texas heat and humidity. Except for a really great [...]

I just transfered over (copy and paste – I’m old school) two and a half months of blogs from myspace. My BFF’s didn’t want to join myspace to read them, so now they can! Check out March and April of 2007 (click on the archives on the right) and you’ll read my very first blog [...]
