Memorable Memorial Day

I just love getting extra time off of work to be at home. I took a couple days end of last week and then have tomorrow off for Memorial Day. It was nice to have time to do things around the house and have time to hang with mom to boot!  

It was a great week that started Tuesday as we went to the temple with Ty. It was extremely nice and we had a wonderful time. Then Wednesday mom, Lys and Ty came up to work to get a scholarship award and then we went to eat at the Senegalese restaurant. Very different flavor but very delicious. Thursday I mowed, sprayed weeds, other sundry things. On Saturday Ty and I worked to pour the concrete footings for the arbor we are building on the lower patio. We are excited to keep that going. We framed out the whole thing so it will be square when we build it up. 

Skjelse is also amidst a builder project. It's a wonderful thing to create. 

Saturday was also the graduation party for Ty. Along with 7 other graduating seniors. It was crazy busy but a wonderfully planned event (because mom led it!). We have so many meatballs left over. I think I will turn into a meatball. 

I was reflecting today about how related hymn #85 (How Firm a Foundation) is to Prekestolen in Norway. Especially verses 1, 3 & 7. We have to build on a sure foundation to enjoy the best in life. Tie in Helaman 5:12 and you have it.  Don't forget that Prekestolen overlooks Lysefjord. Or fjord of light!  That's for you Alysia!

Remember this week those that have gone on before you and left a legacy of faith. 

Love you forever,

Dad
