Goals and Personal Progress

I have set a goal for myself to finish the personal progress program for the second time. I have been working on this for quite some time but now with the example of my wonderful daughter I have the determination to do this!! Kelsie just finished again! I have until April to do this so I thought if I posted this I can keep myself accountable.
I am realizing how inspiring this program is for the young women. It is helping me have a closer relationship with my Heavenly Father as I read from the scriptures and ponder the teachings and write about my feelings in my journal.I am also learning so much more about myself and what I truly believe.

Florida...O how I miss you!

I was thinking this week about our trip to Florida. It was just last year about this time that we were getting ready for our vacation. That was such a fun trip!! I think I had wanted to make it a yearly occurence. The sun, the ocean, meeting Mickey Mouse. Then my next thought was....oh how things can change in a year! We are now in our 10th month of unemployment and my perspective of things has changed! I am so grateful for the sunshine that has been unusually around here in Spokane! I still miss the ocean and might need a dose of it in the near future, even if I have to walk to it! (I might have to settle for the west coast this time) I joke, but really I am just so grateful for the little things in life! Food, A home, healthy kids and for all the bills to be paid for a month. How quickly life can change!
