Can you believe it?! 2008 has come and gone... I love the promise of a new year; a fresh start and a clean slate. This holiday season was chaotic - A lot happening in our lives that made Christmas a little different this year...BUT especially poignant as we focused on the Savior and how ALL things are made possible through HIM. I feel really blessed and am so grateful for my little family above all.
I will admit it - making and keeping my new year's resolutions hasn't totally been my strength, but this it it! This is my year to really make it happen! I have decided to keep my list short and manageable! :) I figure if I post it here -- I will have loads of extra help in actually following through...Short and Sweet...
1. To be a better Mother and Wife, Sister and Daughter.
How better to show my family how grateful I am for them?
2. Read my scriptures DAILY.
This is BIG. I know I am a better person when I am doing it - just need it to stick!
3. Better record my family's life and all those cute things my kids say and do.
Time flies and no matter how much you think "I won't forget" - truth is you do. I am going to be better with blogging (my only current journal) and pictures. I CAN do it!
4. Focus on my blessings.
I have SO much to be grateful for.
5. Goals at Work...
I teach aerobics and LOVE it. It is just time to take it to the next level and learn something new. Haven't decided whether it is SPIN or Yoga, getting Nutrition Certified or really diving into my already certified ZUMBA, but game on!
6. Get Skinny. Again.
Seriously the worst part of having a baby. So much work to get into shape - so little time and you fall right out! :)

Step on me,
Thanks so much for your great example to me. I am so proud of the woman you are becoming and the many lessons and laughs you share with me. If all else fails, we can laugh! I know Marjorie used to say that is how Gordon B. got them through the tough times.
