Something in 2014 that...
*you saw or did that was awesome: Ziplining for the first time
*you'll remember: Visiting White Sands
*you want to forget: All of our trees that fell down in the big ice storm last winter.
*scared you: Ebola. Is that silly? I don't watch the news because it's too depressing, but I heard enough things about the Ebola epidemic to scare me. Thankful that it didn't spread across the US like I was afraid it would.
*you're good at: Being happy.
*you're proud of: Going 8-1 in my tennis matches with Diane this past fall. Woo hoo!
*made you happy: Andrew's back pain relief. Spending at week at the beach. My parents coming out to watch our kids. Surprising Andrew with a cruise.
*you learned: That some argue there is no scriptural basis for self-esteem. I learned that in my LDS Perspectives on Psychology class. Interesting.
*made you laugh: Brian Regan. Oh, and Andrew and Brandon both make me laugh just about every day.
*was silly: Our family dance at church. I love being silly!
*was exciting: Carowinds with the kids during spring break.
*you earned, won, or accomplished: Yahtzee bowling on the cruise
Any other notable changes/events for 2014: Got called to be the Relief Society president at church. Got released from RS president. (When Andrew got called into the Stake Presidency.) Got called to teach Gospel Doctrine Sunday school class.

You make me smile :-)
ReplyDeleteWe like all the same TV shows. And I hate socks too! So so much. Great update!
ReplyDeleteCleaning the lint filter can be the highlight of some days.
ReplyDeleteHey you don't know me but I graduated from BYU a few years ago. I heard about the "LDS Perspectives on Psychology" recently (and via google searches I found that I think you took the class?) and I really want to hear the lectures ... but like I said, I'm no longer at BYU. Did you by chance make audio recordings of the lectures when you took it?? Or do you remember anybody else that was in your class that I could contact with the same question? You can contact me at thejcmartin@gmail.com
