Moving

Well, it's official. I know have my own apartment. Dad and John moved to San Antonio, Texas at the end of July and I moved into my apartment. I'm still slowly moving in. I have a few things left at Mom's.  

Thanks Avan for your help in getting this apartment! I appreciate it!

Best of luck to Dad and John with their move to Texas!

Goodbye 898 E 825 N. I have enjoyed my time spent living here and visiting here prior to my move to Ogden!

Work Googles

On July 2, I went to work to learn that the hospital is now requiring employees to wear goggles in patient areas. On my unit that is everywhere except my office. I hate wearing them. I feel like I should be scuba diving. They gave me a headache. My coworkers dislike wearing them as much as I do. 

Update: On August 7 I went to work with some safety glasses to try that Meg gave me. This is what they are using at the Roosevelt hospital. I don't think the glasses will work. They are not tight enough around my face. But until I actually hear that, I will wear them instead of the goggles. To be honest that won't be often. My unit has boycotted the goggles and none of us wear them. We are taking our chances at getting Covid-19 through our eyes.

Beautiful Flowers at Work

Work put in some new flowers in the flower beds by the west employee entrance. I thought they were beautiful and they made me smile. 

I realized that in this crazy time, I need to take note of the things that make me smile and be grateful to see and experience things. 

Thanks Ogden Regional for putting a smile on my face with some beautiful flowers!

 

Come Follow Me Thoughts

 I read this on a family page on Facebook and really liked it. I thought I would share it here.

Alma 43-52 (24, 53) - Come, Follow Me – How to fight personal, spiritual battles…

OH, MY GOODNESS!!! I LOVED STUDYING THIS!!!

When reading the scriptures, substitute the name of the bad guy(s) and put in “Satan”, and put your name in place of the good guy(s) and ask, “Where’s Satan in all of this? How is he trying to deceive me?”

Example: Alma 49 the last half of verse 3: “…and because Satan had destroyed me once because of iniquity, he supposed that I would again become an easy prey to him.”

Alma 49:14 – “…which had hitherto been a weak place, had now… become strong…”

PLEASE READ “Personal Strength Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ” by Elder Richard G. Scott in the October 2013 General Conference!!! (Both for this week’s study and next week’s in Come, Follow Me).

“Their (my) past choices had exposed them (me) to a carnal appetite that could again become a point of vulnerability that Satan would attempt to exploit.” – Definition of exploit = designed to take advantage of a flaw for malicious purposes.

Alma 43:19, 38; 46:21; 48:6, - We need to shield our most vulnerable parts against Satan’s attacks (our mind, our heart, our body [chastity], etc.). Those of us who have been endowed in the temple also have our temple garments and spiritual protection.

We need to be faithful; defend our religious freedoms; be grateful; fast and pray, and worship with joy always; sustain and defend the Kingdom of God; gladly take upon us the name of Christ – don’t be ashamed; have courage not fear; fortify and strengthen ourselves where we are weak; be prepared; don’t get worn down little by little; stay on high ground where the Light is; avoid contention and be unified; become more like the Savior…

Aug. 1 Carly's Bridal Shower

 Carly is getting married! I am so excited for her and Hayden!

On Aug. 1 I was able to attend a bridal shower in her honor. My gift hadn't made it yet, so I felt bad going without the gift. Luckily Carly is a very kind sole and told me not to worry about it. I got to meet some "long-lost" cousins while I was there. 2 of Carly's sisters were there. It was fun to see and meet them. 

Congratulations Carly! I wish you and Hayden all the best!

July 25

July 25th was a very busy day. The day started with going to Uncle Cameron's graveside service in Emery County. It was an interesting service. Mom, Mandy, Mary, Meg, and I went to the family prayer. Our presence had been requested by Twila. I felt very weird being in there. I didn't really know anyone and I had forgotten my mask in the car. A granddaughter played a beautiful piano solo that was fun to hear! 

After the graveside service we went to the park for lunch. Again our presence had been requested. We chatted a little bit and then left for Aunt Joyce's house. I had some seeds (although I don't think were actually seeds) to drop off to her. We had a nice, pleasant visit with her and Uncle Vic.

When we got to Price we decided to go have dinner. We went to Dairy Queen to meet up with Rachel and the twins. The indoor dinning was closed. We sat in our cars with the windows rolled down and chatted. 

Then it was time to head back to Altamont. My pictures don't do it justice and there was another spot coming into Talmage that had another beautiful view of the sunset. There wasn't anywhere for me to pull off. Needless to say, all the views of the sunset were amazing! 

When we got back to Altamont Carol was at the house. We made our way over to the church to watch the fireworks. Longhorn Days had been happening all week. We missed all the the other Saturday festivities, but made it to one of my favorite part of the celebrations. Thanks Monsen family for another great firework show!
