New Year New...Habits?

Wow a new year! Last post was months ago...I am still here, still grateful and very excited for the new year.
In the last 3 months we have:
  • been to Disney World for 2 weeks with Nat's family.
  • celebrated Christmas
  • seen cancer take Nat's Grandfather, Dec 29th
  • still working at Xerox (just passed 9 years) and on the High Council (just passed 5 years)
In review of the past year I learn more about myself and what I want to do this year.
Goals for this year:
  • come in top 3 for the Biggest Loser Bountiful. ( Nat says she is going to win and who am I to argue)
  • so from the previous line, lose weight and get in better shape. I just realized that I am mid 50's now and that stinks.
  • read more. In 2011 I read 103 books, 2012 I read 17. This year I set a goal of 50 but want to break that.
  • write more. What can I say but that and then do it.
  • fix the house up, finish the ongoing projects as well as redo the bathroom and kitchen
  • cut back more in the yard.
These are just a few... not to mention the scripture study, FHE, memorizing "The Living Christ"

So, I am still so very grateful for my life. My wife is my best friend and the one person I want to hang out with and make sure she in happy.
My kids are each amazing in their own way.
I have the privilege of having older kids with their own lives and families and then Boo who keeps me on my toes.
So to up date my profile...for right now until Feb
I have 4 kids ages 28, 25, 22 and 4 as well as 3 grand kids 3, 2, and almost 1 (plus another in the way)

As of Feb it changes slightly to 28, 25, 22 and 5 and grand kids of 3, 2, 1, and on the way

I have the feeling that I will be on the High Council for a few more years and am OK with that. I have to admit, I am good at what I do and this calling more than any other allows me to use unique talents I have been blessed with. I still miss teaching but that's OK
