2009

What a year 2009 was! Courtney was born on March 18th, after 2 moves we were settled into our very own home, Devin fulfilled a lifelong dream of seeing Metallica live, we got a new-ish car (merci beaucoup becky), and we got called to the sunday school presidency together! For 2010 I have no resolutions except to have weekly resolutions! It's a lot easier to keep if you only have to keep it up for a week; I can't fail or get discouraged! In 2009 I did set a late resolution for myself at the end of August, and that was to read the Book of Mormon from "I, Nephi" to "the eternal judge of both quick and dead. Amen." I was doing very well until finals in December. With two weeks to go I had 7 pages a day to read to meet my goal. Then came vacation, I even packed my scriptures in my purse instead of my duffle bag and I didn't read. December 30th rolled around and I had 80 pages to read! So I buckled down and read 50 pages on the 30th and the last 30 on the 31st. So I have learned that I can do anything I put my mind too, no matter how daunting, and I got to spend some quality time with the Spirit teaching to me. I've posted pictures of Courtney in some of her presents from grandma and grandpa Mitchell as well as Becky. There's also a video of Courtney playing with her seahorse from g-ma and g-pa. Enjoy!
