It is already the 9th day of the new year, and wow, it's been a busy year. My year has already started with trials and learning moments. I'm hoping for a good year; at least a year that was better than 2008!
Here is a break down of things I've already done this year... some days even with pictures. :-)
1) Spent the day in the Woodlands with my friend, Brittany! We went out to eat at Cafe Adobe, and just spent time talking. We haven't seen each other since August 2004... just a few days before I moved to Utah. Our friendship is proof that you don't have to talk to someone all the time or even see each other to have a strong, lasting friendship! We are still just as close as we were when we went to AC.
2) I spent the morning at work (Petsense), and then I spent the evening with the Newman's. They have become my adopted family, and some very dear friends! I think this night I realized more than anything that I need to just be patient and focus on school.
3) I didn't get to bed till like 5:30am, so I spent the morning sleeping. Then the evening was spent at work.
4) CHURCH! It was a good day with a great lesson in Relief Society! The lesson was on temples, and it was good. Hard for me as I seem to have a love/hate relationship when it comes to conversations on eternal families. Just hard because of what I want with my own personal family, but at the same time, it's what brought me into the Church. FHE was pretty good that night too with the YSA.
5) I cleaned up around my apartment, and tried to get more things up and organized. Here are a couple pictures of just my front entrance area. (More pictures to come once I feel it's okay to show) THEN I spent a few hours with my parents as we watched the UT/Ohio State game!! HOOK 'EM HORNS!! :-)
6) I worked, and then continued to take care of things around my apartment.
7) I was visit taught for the month, and got my package from Deseret Books! I was really excited to get my package! I got a few new books, a cd, and the movie "Errand of Angels". It's a really good movie, and after watching it and talking with my friend, Jen, who got home from her mission in November... I'm still thinking about maybe serving. Just not sure if it's what I should do or not?!?! I then worked for the whole evening.
8) I spent the day with my mother! It was a good day. We hung out some at the house, and then did some shopping/errands. I got a few things from Hobby Lobby, and then the best thing ever, wall flowers from Bath & Body Works... only $5 each!! They are a regular price of $12.50! Oh - I was so very excited!! My mom then gave me some food, and off I went to come home, check on my dog, and then babysit the Curnutt's! I love those kids!
9) Today... I worked!! I worked 10 hours straight -- Petsense and Nutro. Yea, I'm tired! But now, I am about to finish this blog and try to prepare my talk for Sunday. So many different thoughts are going through my mind, and I just hope and pray that it'll come together!
One last picture... it is of Lexie, my baby. It's hard to believe that she's two years old!!

Thanks for the comment!!!! I love the Return With Honor above your door. That is an awesome idea. Where did you get the lettering?
I got the lettering from Hobby Lobby, actually. That style was on SALE. :-) But they have all kinds! It was just an ABC one that I bought, and then I decided what I wanted to put up. I almost did "Remember Who You Are". But THANKS!!!
I was going through some of your blogs and saw this one again. That eternity thing is really cool......
