40th Birthday – October 5, 2022 Thanks
for the birthday wishes! The big 4-0! My thirties were my best decade yet -
finished Stanford, had 2 more kids, became a software CEO, moved from CA to UT
to CO back to UT, and founded my private equity firm as my forever job. Hoping
and expecting my 40s decade will be even better than the last. I happen to have
lost 40 lbs since the beginning of the year — coincidental number with my
milestone birthday, but a good start to the next decade of my life. Here’s to
the start of my 40s!! Let’s get it! 
Lunch Bunch was at the new Zupa's in Saratoga Springs.

Family is Everything… My appointment for the 1 month check for my cataract surgery was today at 2:30.
Gary has been here to drive me to these appointments till now his company is having him fly to Sacramento every week.
Julie teaches Tuesday and Thursdays at BYU for her youth ballroom team.
Steve is getting ready to go out of town tomorrow.
David is seeing patients.
So I reached out to my sister. As it turned out she and Jeff were coming to American Fork this morning for grandparents' day for two of Mike and Candace's kids: Kate 1st grade, and Ryan 4th grade.
This finished at 11:00, so they drove on over to Saratoga Springs, we went to lunch at Denny's, and then they drove me to Murray to Dr. Jeppsen's office at Rocky Mountain Eye Care.
David got to talk to us between his seeing his patients.
Then they drove me back home--close to the busy rush hours. (As Janice said: "It's really almost 'rush hour' traffic all day long now.")
Dr. Jeppsen said my right eye looks completely
healed. And I got a new prescription for glasses.
We got out of the Eye Center at 3:30.
{I'm not very good at selfies and we got the
giggles...like a sister thing.}
We got back to Saratoga Springs by 4:45.
Janice told me they got back to their home in
Midvale before 6:00.
Jeff is a great driver in that busy freeway traffic.
I so appreciate their doing this for me. It was a long day for them.
Family comes through. We talk on the phone a lot but hadn't seen each other since last Christmastime when we took their presents to their home in Midvale as Gary was driving me to Rexburg.

Keep an eye to
the sky: The full hunter's moon will rise Sunday evening
Doyle Rice, USA
Today - Yesterday 10:01 AM
The hunter's moon – the first full moon of
fall – will rise Sunday in the eastern sky around sunset.
October’s full
moon is called the hunter's moon because it's the time of year when,
historically, hunters began collecting food and storing it for the long and
cold winter months ahead, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
"Many
moons ago, Native Americans named this bright moon for obvious reasons,"
the almanac said. "The leaves are falling from trees, the deer are
fattened, and it’s time to begin storing up meat for the long winter
ahead."
Other nicknames for the full
moon
Other
nicknames for October’s full moon include the falling leaves moon, the
migrating moon, the drying rice moon and the freezing moon.
The last full
moon rose on Sept. 10, 12 days before the autumnal equinox, which marked the start
of astronomical fall across the Northern Hemisphere, AccuWeather said. That full moon was known
as the harvest moon, one of the most popular full
moons of the year.
HARVEST
MOON: A harvest moon will rise this weekend. What you need
to know about the full moon.
Hunter's moon follows the
harvest moon
The harvest
moon is the full moon closest to the September equinox. The hunter’s moon is
the first full moon following the harvest moon.
The earliest
use of the term “hunter’s moon,” cited in the Oxford English Dictionary, was in 1710.

Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment. He knows what our potential is.
Daily Scripture: Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God. - Mormon 9:28
Daily Quote: Our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ, feel sorrow when we choose to remain in sin, when the gift of repentance made possible through the Atonement can clean, reclaim, and sanctify our lives. - Shayne M. Bowen
*** *** ***
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
*** *** ***I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."Daily Scripture: And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. - 3 Nephi 12:6
Daily Quote: We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. - Sheri L. Dew

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today. Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.Daily Scripture: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. - Isaiah 29:14
