Work Christmas Party

This year we went to soldier hollow for a few hours of tubing. What a wonderful experience. I had so much fun. It was a pleasant evening and not too cold. The tube tow rope is a fantastic invention. The one thing I don't like about tubing is the walking back up the hill and being so tired that it is almost not worth the ride down again. The tow ride up the hill was an enjoyable one with a quick little hill at the top to make sure you get out of the way before the next person pops over. My friend Kalli and I made a train for our first run down and it was so slick that night that they told you to dig your heels into the snow to start slowing yourself down so you would not run into the fence at the bottom. When the time came to dig my heels I did and Kalli was blanketed in a soft white powder. Since Jake works with us the kids were able to go and they didn't even wait for supervision. Once they saw how the whole thing worked they were off!!!! Kalli and I made a train with Riley once and then Kaley and I made a train. We had so much fun I can't wait to go again.

A Year Of Change

As in years past and just like everyone else I have set some resolutions for the year. I have not had much success in years past but would like to change that this year. I have been through many different challenges this past year and have grown from each of them. With some of those challenges came with lots of tears and heartache others many, many tears and endless nights of prayer. Then there are those that included all tears, heartache and prayer. My family and friends could not have been a more of a support of blessing during the past 12 months. I am truly blessed and thank my father in heaven for them every night.



I have made a list of things I would like to change this year and I figure it would be better if all of those people that have been a support to me knew what it was that I wanted to accomplish so they could once again help and support me in their own and unique ways.




So here is the list.......

Attend the temple at least once a month

Get healthy (given)

Be more outgoing and social (single adult activities)

Serve in my new calling to the best of my ability

Complain less and compliment more




Look for more opportunities to serve






Share my testimony at least once a month

Stay out of debt and become more financially stable

Organize and expand my emergency preparedness




Be ready to own a home by the end of the year




Start gathering my family history


There you have it. I know there are always things that I will add or some of the things that I have forgotten to put down, but these are the important ones. I feel a great sense of hope about the year ahead of me and am excited about what I have accomplished so far. I again thank everyone who has helped and touched my life.


The lord knows what we need and also who we need.
