Is it time to take it down?

My tree is still up, my black reindeer are sitting by the front doors and the Christmas lights are hanging on the front fence. Instead of cleaning up the Christmas stuff this weekend, we decided to play a lot of tennis and hang out with cousins. The kids go back to school tomorrow and so do I. My most important New Year's resolution is not to volunteer as much. My house is suffering.
We're excited for the new year!
My goals:
1. Say goodbye to desserts again.
2. Attend the temple twice a month. I'm trying for twice but at least monthly.
3. Participate in a triathlon.
4. Read at least 4 books. (It's been a busy couple of years and my interests have been neglected)
5. Finish my mission scrapbook. (It's been almost 13 years)
These are just a few. I love January! It gives me a fresh start and the motivation to accomplish great things. I just hope and pray I can keep that motivation going longer than a couple of weeks!

You can do it!
How about knocking that triathlon down to a 10k? Huh? Make it easy for this old girl won't ya. :)
And when you finish your Mission scrapbook I totally want to see it! And hear all the stories!

That was a great motivator for me Shannon. I'm trying to read more and make some positive changes. It's nice being with my parents, because my mom is on Weight Watchers. I've leared all these healthy eating tips.
