The New Year 2009

Here we are at the new year. There are many thoughts that run through my mind as I think about what we would like to accomplish this year. There is building to do, scriptures to read, exercise to do, work, and play to consider too.

Our year started out by taking Shari to school (Utah State). We stopped in Orem to visit with family there. It was fun seeing, visiting, and playing with some of the family members there.

The next trick was to get Shari to Logan. The weather cooperated and the roads were mostly dry. Her knees are still recovering, so I am not sure how she will do, but she is determined to make it!

It has been a while since it has been just us parents alone in our house, and it is sure quiet. It is much different having lots of people here. Steven and Lily came to visit tonight. (Really, he came to borrow some flour so they could make cookies. He took a 25lb bag out of our storage.) We did get to play and talk to Lily. It was her first day in Sunbeams. Lily, Mallory, and Michael all went to sunbeams today for the first time. (Bodie should have too, but he was with his mom instead of with Jared.)

We look forward to the new year. I am not sure what this year will bring, but I guess we will be ready for it or at least roll with the flow!

For those who have made some goals already for the new year, good luck! I am hoping we can make some goals and achieve them a little better this year than last year.

To all who pass this way and read our posts, Happy New Year! May the Lord bless you in all your efforts to follow the Savior and live his plan.
