New Years party "Mormon" style...


Happy New Year!!! Last night our friends Amy and Kelly had a party at their house, to help ring in the new year! It was a blast! There's nothing like great food, non-alcoholic Champagne, and a very competitive game of "Scene It"- Men against Women. And let me tell you, we killed them! The Men were such poor-sports about it!!! They said we cheated? ( How do you cheat at Scene it?) blah-blah-blah. Really it's more like cry-cry-cry (Big Babies!) But seriously, it was so much fun! It marked the first time Troy and I had been together, without a child, in almost 2 1/2 years! It was really weird not having Avery right by me, but I guess it was good for all of us! He had a great time with sister Kasey, and she was happy to tend him, because we paid her!
We feel so fortunate to belong to a Church, that is full of such amazing people! Our lives are so enriched, by them and we are so thankful! Speaking of Church, today was one of those days, that you leave and say "That was one of the greatest Meetings I've ever been to! Our friend Kelly spoke in Sacrament Meeting and it was truly one of the most powerful talks I have ever heard!
He focused a lot on Repentance, and starting over. He likened it to the coming New Year, being able to start "New" or fresh, it was really wonderful. What an amazing blessing we All can take and liken into our own lives, The gift of Repentance. I look forward to this New Year, and all that it will bring...
My New Years resolutions are
1. Be happy
2. Be happy
3. Loose a little weight...
