Falling behind

I don't know why I am not able to write more than a blog here and there, but it seems that the time I get to spend on the computer for more than 5 minutes is few and far between, but I guess that happens when you've got two kids to chase and a husband who studies constantly!

Christmas was good to us. It was so great to spend the holidays with my family. It was lots of fun, and though it kept snowing, and snowing it was nice to have a white Christmas, though I did miss our family tradition we kept in Fiji of going to the beach the day after Christmas and having a picnic and swimming in the pool.

I'm not much for "New Year's Resolutions" but we make family goals, for lack of a better definition, in which we strive to live by the "goals" we set for ourselves. This year it is "be hopeful, be prayerful, be studious, be clean, be appropriate, be kind, Be One" It's kind of a variation of Pres. Hinckley's 6 Be's.

As with each new year, I just hope that I live a little better, am more obedient to the commandments, learn a little more, and just make a better me than I was last year. I do not however want to grow a little bigger or wrinklier or grayer, but I don't know how many of those things I have in my complete control, though I do know I will try my best that it doesn't happen!
