A few portraits :)
Date night with Lindy! We went and got our hair trimmed, then went to The Village to get a treat and watch the fountains!
In January, our family made a huge leap. We were tired of working for American Construction Supply. Honestly, it was something we hadn't wanted to do in the first place after quitting seminary and moving to Idaho, but jobs turned out to be more scarce than we thought! Even for someone with a Masters degree. But it was 2020 and no one was hiring, so we were grateful for a job offer from American. We hung on for about 2 years, hoping things would pan out in a good way. Unfortunately, things continually went downhill and we knew we couldn't make this our long term plan. So, in January, we decided to launch our very own window washing company. Richie had done it as a side hustle for years- we figured we would just pump things up and be legit and it had potential to be a full time gig. Here he is in front of the work van we bought for the business.
Gwen's first time at the temple! Richie and I want to be the first ones to take our kids through. It was so special. Richie baptized her and I was able to be a witness. The things I remember the most is that Gwen legitimately could not stop smiling the whole time she was getting dunked. We went and got some costa vida afterward.
This boy of ours turned 14!!! No friend party this year. We did manage to sneak out on a lunch date and he requested his favorite dinner- pulled pork sandwhiches and german chocolate cake for dessert. What a stud muffin!
Gwen started taking sewing lessons from Virginia Gross in our ward! For the first few months, she took them alongside Aralyn, a girl living with the Beckles at the time. Their first project was pillow cases!
Homestead Happenings. Lindy learning how to milk goats in the winter! I figured out how to make dish soap out of pig lard, huzzah!
