Living in the Dark

By Aubrionna Robison -
We started this week off with an awesome Sunday. We had some awesome talks about parenting and celestial marriage give by some of the bishop's friends. Lately I really enjoy hearing other people's simple advice about marriage and life. My favorite quote from Sunday was about finances and money, "Having money is not inherently bad. Money is a magnifier. If you are good, money will give you capability to do more good. If you aren't good, money can drag you down to evils."

We invited a couple from our ward over for games that night and had a great time playing ticket to ride and eat oreos. We had a wonderful evening chatting and playing games.

Monday was Veteran's Day which is a wonderful day to remember all those who have risk their lives so we can have the freedoms that we have today. We're the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to all those who have and are currently serving.

It was a paid holiday for me because banks and CU's aren't open. We were so productive over the weekend I didn't know what to do with myself! I did get to go to lunch with my handsome husband so that was fun.

Other things that happened this week:

I drank hot cocoa out of this


I made a ton of sugar cookies with my mom for work

and I mean a ton. About 200

Our team won branch of the month! Go Ustick!


Then... our power went out Sunday night. Did we pay our bill? Yup. Anyone else's power out? Nope. Tripped a breaker? Yup. then when we reset it, it still didn't work. Through our problem solving skills we somehow ended up doing this-
It was not an easy task. We FINALLY found the main breaker outside and were able to turn our power back on. I don't recommend moving a stacked washer and dryer. It's a pain in the butt. And when did all this happen? Right in the middle of the Denver Bronco's game. Bad timing.

This coming weekend is exciting because Ryan and Kate are getting married! So that means I get Friday off so we can drive there. I'm excited to see all my family and hope the week flies by!

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou

This is Important

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being
