1. Rachel. I taught Rachel when she was a laurel. Even though she's been graduated for more than a year now she still keeps in touch with me. She called me the other day to let me know her grandfather had passed away, and then when she got into town (from Cedar City where she's going to school) she came by to hang out with me and the boys for a while. She's become a woman of great faith, and is a good friend.

2. KSL finds. I got a cool, armless, leather love seat for $100 the other day- brand new! I moved my black hope chest upstairs to serve as a seating bench when needed- and I set up the love seat where it was for more comfortable extra seating downstairs for those often times when we have several people over to watch a game/movie/etc.

3. Prayer and inspiration. I've been getting subtle answers and guidance lately that has been very needed and very appreciated. It pays to look and listen.
