Tired feels like this

I know I have been tired all my life since repo days, but today I am soooo tired. It's another wonderful but long day of great things. I taught the priests quorum lesson, or more aptly led the discussion that the priests were wonderful in sharing scriptures that had affected their lives. 
Saturday was another busy day. I got up early and dug holes in preparation of getting a bunch of hostas to plant. The. I woke up Lys and we went over to Andrus's and split off their hostas. We didn't get beyond the front of their house but we filled the back of the mountaineer stuffed and we filled the hillside and then put others in the forest. I think it looks great!

By evening Ty was being a wonderful big brother and took his little sister to bed!  So cute. 

After Ty got home he helped us plant the hostas. Then after a few minutes break Ty and I went to a house and tore out a bathroom. In preparation of a complete remodel we will help do. It took a couple hours and we had to wait for new shut off valves since the old connection had no shutoff. Crazy builders. Who would do that!  
Finally we got home, Ty slept and we got ready to have the Sisters over for dinner. We were just starting when they said they will be late, but soon they arrived and we ate tons. We got all filled when Owen called and said he would come over for dinner. Augh!  We just ate. But we wanted him to come so we cleaned up, removed evidence, restocked, and then ate again when Owen came. So we had a two for one dinner!
The week at work has been tough. Many things, not enough time. I keep trying to do my best to get as much done as I can. Some things I have to just realize are good, but not most important. So they fall off the get it done lost. I did have to work a $135,000 negotiation to pay some old invoices that had never been sent. And our finance team bought in easier than I thought. So with my homework and help from above, that one gets closed. It has been a challenge for the past 5 months. 
I continue to be in awe of those that exhibit great faith and trust the Lord. One is a great family that accepted a new call from one they had been enjoying. But with faith they are embracing it full on. And another is a new convert of just a handful of months. She is called into the relief society presidency but is excited and embracing things she doesn't fully understand but has faith to move forward. 
We can all trust in the Lord with all our heart and just press forward. We can. 
Love you forever,
Dad
