Christmas and Ringing in the new year!!

This year has been full of ups and downs. Regardless of good or bad I truly realize how blessed my life Is. I have nothing to complain about. I have a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food In my belly. I have a wonderful husband and amazing family who I know love me. Without the downs I wouldn't realize how amazing the ups are. I'm grateful I was taught that Christmas Isn't about how many presents are under the tree. It's about a little baby In a humble stable surrounded by his earthly parents who loved him. What humble circumstances It was; Mary giving birth to the son of god In a stable. - Now we think we have It bad? Remember to serve those who are In need. And If you are the one in need of the serving make sure to be humble enough to receive it.-- On that note we are also ringing in the new year In hopes of a new beginning and new goals. Goals are great to have and help me feel a sense of achievement! Some of my goals this year:

1. Run the Half marathon (SLC) with my dad mom and sister.
2. Run swim and bike the (spring and fall) Mini triathlons with my dad
3. Go camping at least 5 times this summer
4. Get a 4.0 for my next year of school
5. Sell my pottery at a fair for the first time
6. Enter an art show somewhere in the country
7. Call my Family in Hawaii once a month
8. Get a routine of physical activity that I can make a lifestyle
9. Compete In a relay triathlon with my sister and dad in Hawaii.

Those are just some of my goals. But as I write them down I feel more committed to doing them. I hope to hear some of your goals for this coming year!
