New Year List




No New Year would be complete without a list of resolutions, and I just happen to love lists. So here it is, my list of goals and resolutions.

1. Clean out closets and drawers. Get more organized.
2. Make everyday moments more educational with kids.
3. Keep up on house work. Do one load of laundry a day.
4. Read scriptures daily, ideally in the morning.
5. Learn a new wake boarding trick.
6. Go snowboarding at least six times.
7. Get pregnant with my fourth child.
8. Finish the Moab 1/2 marathon in under 2 hours.
9. Floss teeth three times a week.
10.Work on my wardrobe.
I feel good about this list and this year. I have already rearranged and organized my home office and my house has been much tidier.

Christmas Whirlwind














I know Christmas is over but I am a procrastinator and I just want to write how it all went down.......
Homemade Christmas cards, that sounds fun
Oh shoot, what did I get myself into
I can't believe I am doing this!
After five times of trying to get a cute family picture
I give up, someones gotta look bad
I guess that will be me
Bird themed Christmas tree OK that's cute
Progressive dinner party planned for 40 young men and women
complete with a hayride and all
sooo stressful, but well worth it, turned out to be a success
Baklava, cream filled pizzelles, and sugar cookies
maybe a little too ambitious
It would have been nice to brush my hair and change out of my flour
covered clothes for delivery.
Still, so great to visit with some dear friends
This is all to much I cant handle it
I think I am failing
I need to stop and say a sincere prayer
of gratitude and a plea for help and comfort.
Oh that feels nice... I know I am loved
I forget,that's the spirit I am supposed to be feeling
this time of year
After all of the stress and preparation, the day is finally here
Good day, Good presents........ A motorcycle wow
Time for a vacation and a fresh new year
Note to self- Next year, start earlier!
