Ok. I need to update here. It's Wednesday afternoon and I need to make dinner so I will stop and do that at some point. But I need to update on our household.
This last Sunday I was sustained as the new Primary President in our new ward. We just went through some boundary changes and we are actually back in our home ward again. Daniel is the Ward Clerk so we will be busy busy! With a new year in and new callings and, a new attitude, for that matter, I think I am ready to take on anything. But don't quote me on that!
For now, what I really want for this new year is:
10. Keep in touch with friends, even though I will be kind of a crazy lady. Anyone want to go to lunch in a couple of weeks?
9. Remind myself, when necessary, but not overly, that Sarajune will be in our arms before we know it. We are not waiting, we are living!
8. Get started on my kids' bathroom. It needs some redoing and I already have a shower curtain and the colors for paint. I just need to find a few minutes to get started!
7. Get Ruthie's room ready for 2 girls. I have an idea for a cute girl room, but need to get the bathroom done first. This will be a great Fall project!
6. Make Sunday a good day for our kids. It will be hectic and crazy, but at some point it will be easier to get through.
5. I want Primary to be a great place for the kids in our ward. I can't believe already how much guidance I have gotten and how much love I have developed for these kids!
4. I need to remember that it's ok to do a little for ME! I sometimes think it's all about me, but seriously, I really need some of that!
3. We have a great babysitter-Jessica!! Daniel & I will use her to no end so that we can go on a couple of dates each month. We will need to put at least that into US!
2. We have always gone out to dinner as a family on Friday night. To make sure we have some really good family time, we will change that to an official "Family Movie Night" with homemade pizza each Friday. (Our FMNs have gotten fewer and farther between.) Also, now that Daniel isn't the YM pres. and has gotten some more vacation time, we will have more time this summer to go camping. Look out mountains and family ranch...we are coming!
And finally...
1. Our home will be a happy one. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in everything we have to get done. Even the not so important things become very important. No more! We will focus on the happiness and growth of our family. After all, that's where we find our greatest joy!

Jennie, I love all your goals and I know that you're going to do great at every single one of them. Because that's just YOU. And I hope that if you need help along the way, you won't hesitate to ask.
Oh, and I've heard Jessica is good. I booked her once and had to cancel. I might steal her now and then... but only if I get permission from YOU, of course. ha ha
Holly...Daniel has told her to book Friday night just for us. My kids adore her! She even came over at 6am to sit while I had my last hand surgery!
This is a WONDERFUL list! You are going to be a great Primary President! AND - isn't it so fun that you pretty much already know all of the children?!
P.S. I am the new 1st Counselor in Primary in our Ward, so we might have to get together on ideas.
You were born to do this calling. There is no one who could do it better than you. Porter almost made it through our Primary last week. Of course we only had a 2 hour block and he left about 15 minutes early. So he actually only lasted about 40 minutes. Baby steps right?
Wow, great list Jennie. You are going to be an awesome primary prez. Good luck with your new callings and your goals!
Yay!! Sounds like you guys are going to be busy! We should do lunch one day. I haven't seen you in over a year!!
Sounds like wonderful goals!!
You will both a fantastic job, Jennie!! And I would love to go out to lunch any day too!!
Jenny You are so inspiring! I'm so glad to hear your goals they are wonderful! You will be a great Primary President! Lunch? I'm up for it anytime! Call me!
