Mark continued to work on his research paper. He’s working hard to finish it before the new semester begins on the 19th.
BYU-Idaho’s winter semester began this week. I graded the first assignment from my classes and enjoyed learning a bit about my students!
Our adventure of the week happened when we were running errands in town and our Camry died! It had a hard time starting in the Staples parking lot and soon whenever we would stop and then accelerate, the car would just turn off. Luckily Mark was driving and was able to slowly get us home. It definitely got our adrenaline going! Mark is doing some research to see if he can find out what is wrong with it. We’re grateful we have two cars and very rarely need them both at the same time with current circumstances.
I did well with my reading goal this week and read two books. I read the sequel to the Princess Academy by Shannon Hale and Jimmy Moore’s autobiography. Jimmy Moore lives in my parents’ neighborhood and has a son my age, so it was fun to learn more about his life.
We’ve been applying lessons from our health coach and have been focusing on making low carb, high protein meals this week. Our favorite was pizza crust made from ground chicken.

This week a group of people stormed the capital building. This meme made us laugh.
