Well, I’ve been waiting to order a new journal to write in, but I just never seem to get around to it, and my life is passing me by without my keeping a record of it.  I thought I’d better do a catch up before I forget too much.  I can’t actually remember what I’ve [...]

I thought it was time for an update on my perpetual student.  Since this affects me and our children it’s only appropriate I spread the word on our progress.
Hans is doing so well at managing everything on his plate.  I am so proud of him.  He has so much energy and enthusiasm for the work [...]

Lately, I have been searching, pondering and praying over what I could do to combat the problem of pornography.  Many years ago, when Hans and I were first married and living in BYU married student housing, I was privileged to hear JoAnn Hibbert Hamilton speak in our ward.  As the founder of http://www.strengthenthefamily.net/. I would [...]

I just updated my goals and wrote entries on my progress over at 43things.com.  I’m so excited about my new goals.  I have so much joy in my life right now and it’s so refreshing.  If you get a chance and feel so inclined take a look over there and let me know what you [...]

I’m hijacking Erin’s blog to let you know that she ran her race this morning. She ran it in 31:26—several minutes faster than her best training time, even though this course was more hilly. She placed 7 out of 9 in her age group, and 117th overall. Good job Erin!

Well- I’m going to TRY and run it.  In my training over the past two weeks- I’ve gradually worked from walking/jogging to just this wednesday running most of the way and giving myself a warm up at the beginning and a 3 min break/walk 1/2 way through.  My [...]

Today Jonathan was in his first primary program.  He didn’t sing any of the songs, though he sings them at home.  He said his part really fast which I’m surprised he did even that- he gets kind of quiet in front of people.  His teacher is so sweet and she helped him.  After he said [...]

Yesterday, despite my tiredness, I took the boys out to our weekly playdate with some ladies from church.  It was so fun- the weather was perfect, the conversation was good and the whining of children was next to nil.  As I mentioned previously, I’ve been keeping my outings to a minimum- so I was uncertain [...]

This steve pavlina dude is unbelievable. I mentioned a while back about self discipline and how I’m working it in to my life (or not). I also mentioned steve and his website in that same post. Since I found his site- I have found myself frequenting it more and more. He [...]

One of the sites I link up to is 43things.com It’s a great site where I keep track of what goals I’m currently working on and I can write about what progress I am making on them, and also support other people as they work to achieve their goals. In a way it’s a [...]
