Ok so I have never been a very good journaler (in fact my blog is pretty much my only journal, sad huh). Anyways, after a very enlightening ward conference yesterday I have decided to set some goals for myslef. Goal 1 - Journal more (on the blog). My goal is once a week. Goal 2 - Teach Rilyn to read Scriptures (Ok so I know shes not going to learn to actually read but get into the routine would be nice). I went to Deseret and got a book on how to read to your little kids and how to get them involved and how to
help them absorbe what you're reading. Hopefully it helps us all. Goal 3 - Family Home Evening. We have been AWEFUL about this. Cody is at school late on Mondays so we haven't been able to do a Monday night home evening ever. So thanks to Deseret I have a book with lessons and a cd rom with the activities suitable for "young" families. So Rilyn and I are either going to be doing home evening with the 2 of us or were going to have to pick another day (I'm thinking the 2nd choice is better because then it
can actually be our family). Goal 4 - This is a "me" goal that is not church based. I want to get into shape. I am so sick of the baby roll that has been hanging on for the last almost 2 years. YUCK!! So I've signed up for a 5k in May and to get ready I've been running every night. That may not seem like a huge deal to everyone else but I have not run since high school. Its hard work too. Now I just have to lay off the junk food enough to lose the roll. Thats the really hard part but I haven't had a soda in a week. I'm pretty proud of that! Other than that nothing much is new. Cody went back to school last week and Rilyn started an art class this week. She had so much fun getting messy today.
