2016 Goals

Right now I don't have a whole lot of new goals. 

1)I want to keep up with training and doing 21 Day Fix.
2)   Our biggest goal is to pay off a good chunk of debt. 20k to be exact.  Lee thinks it is too big of a goal but we will see. (Update 1/4/16) I just did the math on this and it will be close to $1500 a month to pay off not sure that is feasible unless I work way more then I want to)
3) Read two books a month
4) Paint master bathroom
5) Paint downstairs bathroom
6) Declutter (this is going to be on my list every year I am sure)
7) Take more adventures.
8) Run SLC Marathon
9). Play more with the little people.  During the summer I do well but during the winter I struggle to just play with them
10) be more authentic with who I am and what I believe.

After listening to Dave Ramsey today I have decided to add some more goals to my list

One one on one date with each one of the kids and Lee once a month.  Doesn't have to be big.  Could be just taking one kid to the store with me.

Dave mentioned that we should have one goal for each category.   So I have decided for Spirituality I am going to read the Book of Mormon along with the Sunday School Class.  Victoria has a print out she is going to follow that she got yesterday in church and I am going to follow along with her.  Since I don't attend Sunday School I won't get the discussion part.  Despite my issues with the church I really have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and Joesph Smith.

Family:  Write one card a week to family members and rotate through them.

Social:  Attend one social thing a month.  Mom's night out or MOPS or Enrichment.

Covid 19

Words can not expressed the range of emotions I am feeling at the moment.  One week ago we had it all planned out.  Then Covid happened.  And the whole world was suddenly on hold.  Kids had school Monday but then have been out for ten days and are scheduled to return on the 20th of April.  However most people think that is unlikely.  My heart is breaking for graduating seniors.  We cancelled our trip to Zion which may have happened any way because it was calling for snow.  I hope we will rise from this stronger but right now I feel like curling up in a ball and crying. Lee now has work at home options since we have not been put on "lockdown" at this point although several other areas and cities across the county including a few in Idaho have been. I try and  look for the good.  Healthy kids, good weather, lots of projects we put off being completed.  But some moments it feels like we are missing on so much. We did church at ho...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...

Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...
