It is hard to believe that another year has come and gone! We have had a lot of changes this last 365 and though some were good and some bad, I can honestly say I am a better person for the trials the Lord has given me!

I had an extremely rough holiday season being without those of you that are most dear to my heart and even those of you that I loathe (just kidding, I love every one of you)! I most especially miss all my kidos back at home as well as those in distant lands such as Alaska – LOL!

I hope that the year to come we can all make honest, worthy, smart, measurable resolutions and share both our accomplishments & failures with one another. Let’s keep up with our blogs so that when the time passes as fast as it does, it doesn’t appear that we have missed much! Stay in contact - remember birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. Buy a calendar and call everyone you know and put their birthday on it! If you don't have a phone number or email, then call me and I will try to get it for you!

***One thing that I would like to do is have a scheduled time each month that we can share our testimonies with each other; perhaps on fast Sunday; and to also have a monthly favorite scripture/hymn/church history tid bit. Maybe I and Lynda can work together to create a blog dedicated to just these items/actions! It's all about perfecting the saints!!!

I am working on getting some pics uploaded of our holiday here in Washington so be patient while I do that AND I look forward to seeing all of you do the same!

Love and hugs from the apparently new NORTH POLE headquarters (hence the 12" of snow)!
