Happy New Year!

I am copying this from my sister'n'law Erin...hers was so cute because she does the funnest stuff...mine will probably be boring!!

-What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?

Ran a ½ marathon with Erin, Crystal, Rob, and Aunt Jaydene

-Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I can’t remember if I made one or not. This year is to be more spiritual. I never say my prayers or read my scriptures…but Karl’s homecoming talk inspired me to be better.

-Did anyone close to you give birth?

Yes, my sister Natalie and Kresta: Otis and Kache!
Otis, I got to be there for the whole thing! Amazing

Kache! He is so adorable!

-Did anyone close to you die?

One of the elders I served with passed away. Very sad story. http://www.lancejensen.org/

Our first pet died too, Twitch. It was so sad!

Mexico

A baby…one day it will hopefully happen.

December 18th. Karl came home and we are all home now.


September 11th. We became new home owners!

-Where did most of your money go?

House, house, house

-What did you get really, really, really excited about?

My sister getting her buffalo…so jealous but proud that it was her!


-Compared to this time last year, are you:

i. happier or sadder? I am happier! I love life… I keep waiting for something bad to happen!
