OBVIOUSLY IM NOT DOING NUMBER 6.

I'M HORRIBLE.

I'M SORRY.

This year I'm doing it.

So I've never been big with the, its a new year, now let me commit to all the things I want to fix. I have occasionally thought to myself of the things I would like to work on, but this year will be different. I am going to actually commit, and come up with an action plan on how to accomplish them.

So here they are: There is no order to these.

Learn to be patient. In all situations. I always feel I need to know everything at any given moment.

Keep my house clean. I'm great at cleaning it, but two days later I start to lose it.

Live within my means. I started this one in Nov, I havent shopped for clothes since I quit bebe on Oct 2nd, and it feels great. It's really empowering to exercise self control.

Stop worrying about everything. I have always been a worrier. I just need to recognize the situations that I can control and realize some things are just out of my hands.

Stregthen my testimony. I will commit to reading and studying the entire BOM by Dec. 31st 2009. I have never done this, and its something I'm really ashamed of. This will be the year.

Be a better blogger. I am so horrible with updating mine and commenting on yours. I really enjoy reading what everyone is up to, I will be much better with keeping you guys updated with what we're doing.

Live in the moment. I always find myself looking to the future, wondering whats next, instead of enjoying my life now. Why do I do this? This is my top priority this year.

My list may get longer, Ill probably just add, as I think of a few more over the next few days.

I look forward to 2009.........Its so wierd how every year I look back and notice how much wiser I am now, or how different I feel now about a situation I was so sure of, nothing could have changed my mind at the time. I serioulsy do this every year. Anyways, I hope everyone has a great 2009! I hope we can all make the most of it.

kona......two months late!!!

My Cute Nieces

I just wanted to post a few pictures of my nieces. They are so adorable, I love the stage they are in! They are 3 and a half months now, they are such good babies, and are really happy. Carlie has done so well, she has them on such a good schedule, they sleep for 9 or 10 hours a night!!! Trent and Carlie are doing such a great job, we are so grateful to have Attley and Berkley in our family. I am so excited to see how cute they are going to be in their little halloween costumes.

Tag!

This is Alaina's attempt to bring me out of my drought from blogging. Thank you!! :)

Returned with Honor

The Zach attack is back! Congratulations to our nephew on his safe arrival home from his successful mission in San Bernadino, CA. We will miss the blessings we received from his service but are extremely happy to have him home with us again. He followed the family trend and decided his first matter of business was to purchase a motorcycle.
