A New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Here are some of my favorite memories from this year.

New Year's Eve and New Years Day last year were spent moving into our new apartment. I can't believe we've been here a whole year. It's nice to have our place. Things just keep falling apart though. First the dishwasher and now a leak in the wall behind the shower. We're hoping in May this year to be able to move out and rent a bigger place, with at least three bedrooms and lots more storage.

Going on a random Sunday roadtrip with Martin up to Meridian Idaho, just for the heck of it.

The scrapbooking weekend with Gayla and Sara. We always have so much fun at those.

Having Monika and Kevin come to America. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time with them. I can't wait for Kevin and Whitney's wedding this year, so we can see Joe and Monika again, and that Kevin will be in America for good, and Martin will have family here.

Being able to spend so much time with my neices and nephews over the summer. I still owe the younger three their own special days.

Going down to St. George with the girls to see the Tuachan plays. That's one of my very favorite vacations to go on every year.

Our family camping trip up in Mantua.

Working as a ballot clerk for the election with my Mom.

All of the many many many family parties this year. Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the monthly family home evenings. I love my family very much and am very thankful for them and their support in my life.


So for resolution time. My goals for this year:

1-Lose weight. I've actually already lost ten pounds so I'm off to a good start. Yeah this one is boring and very common, but it's for a purpose. (see goal 2)
2-Start a family. I think we're ready, or getting close to being ready anyway.
3-Go to England.

I can't think of any more right now.
