After Ward Council and home-church, Mark and I drove to Blackfoot to attend our nephew’s baby blessing. It was nice to visit with Mark’s family for the afternoon.
Monday was Labor Day. We both had work to do, but we were able to end work a little bit early to have some fun. We went to a couple stores for things we needed and we also made creme brûlée for the first time ever. We had a lot of fun burning the sugar on top, and of course it was delicious!
Speaking of food, we had so many tomatoes from our garden that we decided to try our hand at home made tomato soup this week. It turned out delicious!
The rest of the week was pretty busy. Mark has school assignments and research to do. He’s still finalizing his proposal, but he did officially submit his plan of classes to take during his program.
I’m starting to find a routine with my busier schedule, and I’m also getting better at letting Mark help with what we jokingly call “women’s work” around the house. Mark is always happy to help, but I usually do housework while he’s at school so we can enjoy being together when he’s home. Now there’s just not time to do it all!
This week I finished training for BYU-Idaho and got my course all set up and ready to go. On Saturday I got my first email from a student! She asked if it was possible for me to update a setting in canvas which would put a check mark next to assignments she had completed. I’m so grateful I’ve worked with WebAIM for the last year or I would have no idea how to run the instructor side of Canvas. So thanks to my experience with WebAIM and a little help from Google I was able to figure out how to update the setting.
This week we had some very cold and stormy days. The cucumber plants in our garden shriveled (even though we covered them), and huge trees fell down around the city. There continues to be fires all over the Western United States and often the air is smoky here.
