New Year, New Me.

Not really. I could say I want to lose weight or be a happier person. Or more positive. But really, aren't those things we should be striving for everyday anyway? I have decided this year to take my life into my own hands. Which, is shocking, I know since I'm such a control freak. But that's more of a control over what people see and don't see. If I want something, I'm going to do what I can do get it. I'm going to be more out going and not so weird. Well, maybe not the weird part because let's just be honest here. I'm a little weird. I can't change that. It's a part of me.

This "new" me comes at the perfect time though since I am now the YSA Sunday School teacher. Thankfully, I teach with someone so I only have to teach every other week. But still. I am teaching my peers and that scares the crap out of me. I've taught Primary and I've even taught the youth, but that's easy. I give them scriptures and they read the whole time. Or I give them crayons and they color the whole time. Most the people there have been baptized a lot longer than I have and frankly, know a lot more than I do. But they don't talk. So that makes things interesting.. and short. Thankfully I can ramble on about anything. And ramble more when I'm nervous (shocking, I know.). I know I will be fine and it will be good. But yeah.

Never say "I don't like going to Sunday School because everything they talk about goes over my head" even IF you think it's only to your brother in law because you will, within a week, get called to TEACH Sunday school. I now know that first hand. That Lord, he has got a sense of humor, that's for sure!

Christmas was good. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with the Dillenbecks. Which is always amusing. Dylan got clothes and didn't throw a fit so I say it was a success! I got almost half of my life. A nice robe and Wii Fit but I sadly did not get the husband, or a date. And I decided I didn't need a Zune. I'm still working on the date thing, but it's not going well when my ward only has like two single guys.

I really need a singles ward. Apparently they are supposed to start one soon, but who knows. Everything is just rumors. And I am keeping my mouth shut on what callings I would want or would not want. I've learned my lesson on that one!

Work is good. I had the week of Christmas off and only worked Monday and Tuesday this week. We are actually getting a lot more patients and we think it should pick up a lot more now that Christmas is over. Which means my hours could be changing or hopefully I could be working more. Most the time I just sit there looking for something to do. Recently I did the website. Which was fun. I also do the newsletter layout and business cards and clean. It's nice to be able to be creative and do different things. I'm thankful for that since the phone doesn't ring very often. Case and point: The other day the phone rang and I jumped.

And just to please Mom, here is a picture of Spencer. And my clean room!

Nice thoughts Nicky. Your room is so cute. Korbin saw that picture and said "Oh, nigh night!" Korbin got that same tool set as Spencer. I love it!
