Who Will I Be Today?

Isn't it crazy to think about the effect we can have on a persons day? I realized that today as person after person brought me to tears. From school, finances, work and even the cafe, the effect that one person can have on another is tremendous. This made me think hard at work today as I worked frantically to get ready for different events, what kind of person am I? Am I also one that is added to a strangers list, or a reason they have a tear rolling down their face? Or am I the kind of person that can bring a smile to a persons face even though they are having a day like I did today? I hope I am that person. And if not, I will do my best from now on to send little gestures... even just a smile... to someone walking by me in the craziness of the mall to do my part.Who will you be today? As a wiseman once told me... be somebody's hero today.

Christmas Bracelet

Isnt this bracelet cute? My cute mother in law (Jill) made it for me for christmas and I love it so much I had to blog about it. I wore it to work and the girls were loving it, and especially that it was homemade! We also received a package from my mom and dad the other day with some work out goodies. Running shorts, and a GNC giftcard. Now I have no excuses to hit the gym for the next while. This week has been rough, it will get better though. I used to use the excuse that I was way too busy, but I know there are people way more busy than I am that manage to work out everyday. So... I can do it!

A few of our Resolutions

Our new year's eve was nice and relaxing. We took Diesel for a walk, took a nap played the move and had a night full of super unhealthy snacks. We got the move (wii for the playstation) for christmas from the Linsley's and I pretty much dominated Gavin in every game... poor guy.

Today was our first day back in the gym. I cant believe how long it has been but with the nice summer weather and then my craziest semester of school, I made up tons of excuses to not find time. I took a before picture, I didnt even consider posting it. They are only worth showing people when you have an after picture with it.

Here are a few resolutions I have for the new year:

Tawnya

1. Take better care of my body: eating, exercising, pampering.

2. go visiting teaching each month.

3. be consistant with family and personal scripture study, prayers, and family home evening

4. graduate from school

5. maybe consider participating in the lotoja this year

Gavin

1. Gain 20 lbs.

2. get more sleep

3. love my wife more

4. get my own store this year

5. not to forget about my talk on sunday.... straight from his mouth.

Diesel

1. dont eat any shoes

2. try to stop humping mom

3. stop waking dad up at 3 every morning

4. talk mom and dad into getting a little sister

5. control my slobber and shedding (mom always get mad... but i cant control it!)

So there ya go, a few things we want to do this year to improve ourselves to be better people. That is what this life is about after all isnt it? To grow and learn and to become more christlike each day, if only it was as easy as it sounds all of the time right.
