Wow! This week was amazing! I hope the whole new year goes by this successful and outstanding.
We sucessfully got Savannah potty trained. Although I don't know if I can claim the fame. The story goes like this: I had Katelin help Savannah get dressed so we could go to the library. While in the library I was trying to find Savannah a good book. She approached me and said "I need to go potty." I thought ok, I guess we will see how this goes. Prior to this I had not given too much effort into the issue of teaching her yet. To my amazement when I got to the bathroom I had found out Katelin had put panties on her while getting her dressed. Well, she went potty in the "big girl potty" and has continued ever since.
The New Years didn't go off with a bang like I had hoped. We were suppose to go to a baptism and a party at one of our friends house from church. Kyle had gotten home from work and had not felt up to it so Katelin and I stayed up and watched the clock turn 12. But I did make a note of some New Years resolutions I would like to accomplish. I guess this time is as good as any to make a note of the goals I would like to achieve:
#1 Get back in shape: I've let myself go over the holidays. But I know what it takes and I need to make sure I do the simple things to get back into the routine like eating right and going to the gym everyday.
#2 Daily scripture study and prayer: These choices are simple but the hardest to make. I would rather curl up with a good novel but I know it wouldn't fill my soul and give me enlightment like the words from the scriptures, and this house is happier when we say family prayer and read from the scriptures. So I have posted little reminders around the house to help us each day.
That's enough for now. I think these are two great goals to work on. So we will see how I am doing in a couple of weeks. It shouldn't be too hard. Now that I am not working I have more time to focuss on self improvement.
Good luck to anyone else that has made New Year's resolutions! Let's make 2010 the best year yet!

Good for Savanah! And good for you for making New Years Resolutions. I know once you start reading your scriptures you will learn to love it. I have read the Book of Mormon 4 times and the New Testament once and now the Old Testament. I never thought I would enjoy the scriptures like I do. Just give yourself 15 min. a day. Sometimes you won't be able to put them down.
