New Year's Resolutions!

We went to Vegas the day after Christmas and enjoyed the wonderful warm weather there. We had fun visiting with relatives and lots of old friends. If we didn't get to see you, we ran out of time. We rang in the New Year with everyone playing Rock Band, they even got me to sing a few songs, playing games, and eating lots and lots of junk. We had a great time and reluctantly returned to the "Frozen Tundra" on Traverse Mountain. It was good to get home even though it has been extremely cold, BRRRRR!!!!

Now that we are home it is time to start thinking about all those New Year's Resolutions that I should write down but usually don't take the time to do it. That is probably why they usually don't get accomplished. I will start with my most and foremost resolution. I want to get healthier this year and so am going to try to exercise every day and eat better, hoping that I will lose that extra 50 pounds that I have been carrying around. That is my number one goal. One day down and I did pretty good. Now I need to try not to eat anything else today!

I also want to try to get into a better routine at reading my scriptures and reading the Ensign, personal prayers and maybe even take up journal writing. Those are all the goals that I usually have every year. Another one for this year is to get more organized and weed out some of the "stuff" that I have been hanging on to for way too long. I know, I know, a lot of you already think that I am pretty organized but, hey, how can I stay organized if I don't keep setting those kinds of goals. I also would like to get my scrapbooking for my Alaska trip and my China trip done. Well, those are a few of the goals I have. I would like to include another trip to somewhere exotic but I think our finances need to recover for a few years.

Good luck to all of you with all your New Year's Resolutions and maybe, just maybe at the end of the year, I will let you know how I did.

I am glad you had a great time in Vegas. Your New Years resolutions sound a lot like mine, except for the scrap booking part (I am scrap booking challenged). Happy New Year!
