New Years Resolutions

I tried hard this year to be reasonable with my new years resolutions.  I really want to be able to follow through with them instead of just getting overwhelmed and giving up.  I have decided to dedicate each month to working extra on a specific goal while still working on the others.

January- Junk month,  I have successfully cleaned out my storage room including 8 boxes of "stuff" to take to DI and 8 garbage bags full of shredded files.  It feels sooooo good to get that to a manageable place.  We still need to do the garage but that will have to wait till it gets warmer outside!!

February- Fitness.  I've spent the last month walking on the treadmill everyday except for Sundays and the few days while I had the flu.  This month I want to diversify my fitness routine and take some fitness classes.

March- Money Management.  We've been working hard on our budget and saving more money.  In March I want to review the past 2 months spending and see what changes we need to make to our budget.
 
April-April showers bring May flowers.  Well at our house there aren't many flowers, so in April we will be planning our yard and garden projects for the summer.  And hopefully get the garage organized by now.

That's as far as I've planned.  As each month ends I will re evalute my plans and see what changes need to be made :)

California Trip

It seems our only vacation spot is Southern California :)  This trip we spent 2 days in San Diego and 2 Days at Disneyland.  It was great to spend some time with family and friends in Utah on either end of the trip.  Some of my pictures are still on my phone so I'm just adding some highlights now.

More home pictures



I decided to take some more pictures of the house since no one has seen it yet :)  These pictures are the kitchen, guest room and the wall between the craft room and master bedroom.  When I get other rooms decorated like I want I will post more pictures.  Silly Aspen jumps on that bed everytime I go in there!!

Craft Room



Well it took me almost 2 months but I finally have a craft/sewing room that I can work in.  Now I just need to make some curtains and find places for the last few items and I will be good to go.  The good thing is that in my cleaning and organizing I also found time to fix some clothes and pillows that needed small sewing fixes that I had been putting off since before we moved.  It feels so good to have a place to do my hobbies :)

Elder Bricco



Well, it's been a long time since I sat down at my computer, I actually had to clean off a space on my desk so I could even type this :)  Just wanted to show some pictures of Keiler and his time in the MTC.  He entered there on May 15th and left for South Korea at the end of July.  He seems to be enjoying his time there, but as is typical he doesn't have much to say in his emails.  He is enjoying the ward he is serving in and currently has a companion from Sandy, Utah.
