NEXT WEEK!!!!!

Guess What?!!!

I bought a digital camera! I know you (especially Maren) are shocked that I finally broke down and did it. I have been talking about it for some time, but with the a little push from Kaira and her amazon.com know how, the impossible has been done. Ta..Da!!!
So, I hate to promise anything spectacular, but I might be updating our blog sometime soon. Due soulie (souly?) to the fact that I will have actual pictures to show you!!!
So, here's to next week.........

It's been awhile

Well, this is for me I suppose. I'm getting older. (I know that's hard to believe.) But, I am. So I've been thinking about making some changes in my life. #1) This year I'm going to tell people what is in my heart more. So, I hope you all can handle it. I'm going to cultivate my friends and family and let them know I care about them. Not just think it, but tell you all. #2) Get to the Temple 2x's a month. I know to some of you that seems like nothing, but for me, it is a real challenge.
#3) Listen, and stop talking. I want my children to know I care about what they have to say, so.... I'm going to make a real effort to LISTEN.
#4) I'm going to love Ty like I used to. Let go of all the craziness and really try to remember why it is that I married that guy. Make time to listen to him and show an interest in him. (Now I know some of you newly married couples think that this is a stupid thing to say, but you just wait until you have kids, a job, church callings, and a dirty house; then you will see that it is easy to get off track.)
