Hello Family and Friends!

This is definitely a work in progress. Roger and I are trying to catch up with the internet world. This is supposedly a team effort, he is so much more computer savy than I am. I cannot do this on my own. I am stepping out first and hopefully he will jump in and add graphics and pictures and links, etc.

It will be interesting to see what we can pull together, because we are such a salt and pepper team. We compliment one another, but do not always work things out the same way! For example, he is a temple worker, I am a family history buff. Ultimately the same goal, different departments. Such has been our life together...

We were laughing the other day, I am always in jeans and he doesn't even own a pair. The one day, I dress up to go shopping, he didn't.

So wish us luck and send us advice, I think we could really use it!

THE ONLY THING THAT IS CONSTANT IN LIFE IS CHANGE

I am asking myself what lies ahead in the new year. 
I am comfortable with my life and happy to begin each new day. 
I am grateful to be married to a man who is honourable and has integrity.  He is wonderful in reminding me that he loves me and he is more tolerant of my imperfections than I am of his; for he never complains and ashamedly, I do.  I love him too!
     It's a crime that I did not make a list of the ways I would like to
    improve this year when writing out my goals.  I once again made
    a 'to do' list, not a 'to be' one. 
I am grateful to be a mother.  Whether near or far, my children are my treasures and my heart is happy when they are happy and sad when they are sad.  I love each of them so much!
I am grateful to be a grandmother.  My grandchildren remind me of the importance of living each day, loving each moment, and laughing as often as possible.
I am grateful for my parents and my brother and sisters.  I am grateful for their examples and love.
I am grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The gospel has given me direction and purpose in life, with wonderful hopes and dreams of returning home to our Father in Heaven one day.  Like Alma in the Book of Mormon, "I swear unto you, that insasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land."  Alma 36:1
Every year, every season, every month, week and day gives us a new beginning.  Everything passes with time, the good and the bad.  The hard and the easy.  I hope this year, I can be more positive and enjoy the good while it lasts, endure the bad with faith, hope and charity and press forward with love and encouragement for all I meet! 

Happy New Year!
