January marks a fresh start for me. I’m always excited to get the new year going right. I try to make goals, I try to do better with school and my church calling and just try to be better in every aspect of my life. Then reality hits. :o)<\/p>\n

Jaime got a job at Chic-Fil-A. Best job ever really. We don’t have to “fight” the Sunday battle. Since she is home schooled she can work anytime since “school hours” vary at our school. <\/p>\n

\"First<\/a>

\"A<\/a>

A few weeks after she started we went and visited Jaime at work.<\/p><\/div>\n

Alix’s mock trial class had the majority of their competitions. 6 altogether. She “performed” in 3 of them as the Pre Trial attorney for the defense. She did a good job and improved so much over the course of the class. It was really fun to sit in the court room and watch the different teams do their performances. I loved watching it for little details that they could add in. So fun! Great team.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

I got called as the Stake Young Women’s Camp Director. I’m already having so much fun!<\/p>\n

Scott had a business trip to North Carolina. He loved it. He loved the area and the work he was able to do and the little bit of Scott time he’d get in the evenings. <\/p>\n

\"On<\/a>

On the back of each chair on the airplane you could get real time updates as to your destination. Very cool.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"It<\/a>

It was cold and snow had fallen a few days before Scott got there.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"He<\/a>

He got to eat lots of yummy food.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"He<\/a>

He came home to this sign and lots of love and hugs.<\/p><\/div>\n
