Jared was so excited about the Primary program! Even though we don’t have any kids in Primary, he absolutely loved it—he’s like a little kid himself. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of “my little kid” at his Primary program.
I was invited to the wedding of Elaida and David, a new couple in our ward. It was such a beautiful celebration! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many Dominicans gathered together in Utah—I was so happy and excited.
Mario started a guitar class in high school, and I’ve picked up a new hobby too: embroidery! I’m actually really enjoying it. Jared and I also went to a play at the Eccles Theater recently. I can’t quite remember which one it was, so it probably wasn’t that great—but it was still a fun night out.
Another Young Men's hike. The boys went to a hot spring close to our cabin.
This year, I turned 41—officially middle-aged! I’ve decided I don’t plan on living past 80, so I’m making every year count. Last year was full of big celebrations with the people I love.

I’m currently updating the kitchen with new white countertops and a pink backsplash. I also added new light fixtures in the bathroom, a ceiling fan in Mario’s room, and I’m considering some new dining chairs. I even had an inspector come by to check a small water filtration issue on the stairway wall.
At our home in Salt Lake City, I painted around the windows and have been searching for new window treatments that look beautiful without breaking the bank.
