A New Year's Resolution

Jeff and I sat down and wrote out a few resolutions that we'd like to accomplish in 2008. Throughout the year, you can look forward to updates on the progress we make on a couple of them.

One of our resolutions is to read together from the Book of Mormon everyday. We decided on the Book of Mormon because it is what we are studying in Sunday school this year. This way we can prepare together for the upcoming lesson each week.

We started on Dec 31st, and I am very pleased to say that we have been very diligent. I think we may have missed one day, but we easily made it up the next. It has been very good for us!

I know that the Lord will continue to bless us as we commit to reading together every day!

1 Fish, 2 Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

This is a little delayed post, but I just received a digital copy of this photo from our ward's Halloween party.

These costumes turned out so cute!

The day after this party, my family ran the Gray Ghost 5K in Anoka, MN. We were a "school of fish." Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of our costumes, but it was the same general idea as this pic--except I was a "sun"fish and Jeff was a "paddle"fish.

I was dressed in all orange and yellow with orange and yellow pipe cleaners in my hair to form sun rays; Jeff was dressed in all green with a strip down the front and ping pong paddles in each hand. Then we had the fish head and tail pinned to us. Also in our school was a catfish, dogfish, 1 fish, 2 fish, red fish, blue fish, and monk fish. I brought along a ruler, too, to lead us in the ABC song. It was such a fun race. :-)
