Happy New Year!

I love Celebrating the New Year and the excitement it brings. Usually I have a tendency to be a little over ambitious when setting new goals each year. This year has been different. I think I am already so overwhelmed by the thought of having a child and the changes it will bring to our lives I don't even know where to begin! So, I went easy on myself this year. Here are my New Year's resolutions in a nutshell:

1. Always do my best
2. Graduate from BYU in August
3. Lose weight after baby is born, Do family history, Keep a daily journal, sing in the ward choir, become a better cook, Scrapbook, write family newsletters, keep family calendar to track important events, keep home clean and in order, get a better camera and enhance my photography skills, use my sewing machine often and craft often, be a perfect wife and mother.

That's it! Only three things to work on this year.:) This really is short compared to most years and I didn't even list everything. We also have family goals that we plan to work on. As long as I take things one day at a time I think 2008 will be a very exciting and successful year.



Here are a couple of pictures from Christmas day. I need to work on taking more pictures of everyone when we are together. I guess I should add that to #3 on my goal list!

We had a great time attending various family parties and getting stuck in the snow while in UT!:) It really was the beautiful white Christmas I had been dreaming of. The big gifts we received this year were a videocamera and my sewing machine. Our parents are so great! We feel very blessed. Paul was excited about all of his gifts, but I think the BYU stocking from Grandma got the biggest reaction!
