New Year

So apparently blogging is so 5 years ago. It seems like a lot of our friends and family are struggling or just giving up the fight to keep their blogs alive. Well, I have not blogged since September and it's not necessarily because I've been too busy. I am a firm believer in the philosophy that you have time for anything that is important to you, you just need to prioritize. But I am not giving up the fight. Even though I often feel like I don't really have anything to blog about, I must keep going. I mean, when have I ever been the quiet type, am I right?

So there it is. I will keep blogging. My posts might be kind of boring and somewhat pointless, but that's okay. And it's okay if you don't want to comment on the posts. I still love you and I know you love us too. That's why you're reading this silly thing!

Anyway, here are some things that have been on my mind lately:

• We just had the opportunity to go to Guatemala and it was such an amazing trip. This will definitely require a separate post because there are a lot of experiences and details I would like to document. But if you haven't already seen, there are a ton of pictures posted on my facebook account.
• Since we spent 10 days in Guatemala last month, I feel jipped because I didn't get all my Christmas ya ya's out. Not to mention the fact that 8 of the 10 people we tried to carol to in Fresno weren't home the day we tried to carol to them and I was too sick to carol to our Bakersfield peeps, which makes me sad. Especially when they confront me about it and I feel like a heartless loser.
• Juggling families at the holidays is caca and I don't like it. I feel like we're always out of sync with everyone else and I wish everyone just lived in the same place (not in Utah, no offense).
• Jana gave us a copy of the CD Hadestown by Anais Mitchell for Christmas and I love it. It's a folk opera about the Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. It's really fun because you read the story, and then play a track when prompted in the story. And the music is really beautiful and catchy.
• David and I were called to be the Sunbeams teachers, along with Tyler and Karina. I could tell you how I really feel about it, but since it didn't work on the Bishopric, I will just say that it will be an experience for us. And those of you waiting for a pregnancy announcement, this situation is working tirelessly against you. Sorry.

These are some of the things occupying my mind at the moment. I hope you all had a happy Christmas and are doing well with your resolutions so far!
