It’s been quite a while. I’m going to give a quick update on what’s been going on.
My dieting goal is not going so well, partly because of stupid Halloween, and I had a nice revelation to be a better mom and focus on things that really matter. Like my family. I really don’t want to go through life with regrets. Right now, I feel like I could do better. So I’m going to focus on some more important things than what size I am.
FALL. Our family has really enjoyed fall. We’ve loved going on bike rides and playing at the park. The weather has been so beautiful.
HALLOWEEN! was a blast. The kids loved it. We carved pumpkins and went trick or treating. Standard Halloween stuff.
GABRIEL finished up his soccer season. I was so impressed with him. He hustled and never whined . He did a great job!!
WORK has been great! I had my first closing last week, and that feels great. My client was very appreciative of my service and that makes me feel good.
THANKSGIVING was a 4 day non-stop party. We took no pictures at all. We were too busy having fun. Volleyball, basketball, racquetball, shopping at 4 am, eating, poker, more eating, golf, playing cards until 3 am, fun, fun, fun. My whole family was in St George except Dave and Michelle. It was a loud, exhausting, great time.
I was just called to be the Primary Secretary. I am really excited. It sounds like a perfect job for me. Mark got called to be a primary teacher. He is teaching Emma’s class and enjoys it.
I just got all my Christmas decorations up. It is so fun to pull them out! But I must say, they are very old (some I had when I was a kid), and our tree is on it’s last leg. But even so, I love the feelings they bring. I love this time to celebrate! I tried to get the shopping done and out of the way this year so I can focus on the true meaning of Christmas. I want my family to feel our Savior’s love this Christmas and celebrate him and the gift of the atonement He gives us.
