That New New

Wow, it has been a while since I've posted. Things have crazy busy. You know how life goes haha!
Let's see, what have you missed?

Well, Christmas was fun! It was small, but nice. We opened new pajamas on Christmas Eve and we were excited for Santa Clause to come visit us :). We woke up Christmas morning and it was cold and snowy outside which was PERFECT! We had a big yummy breakfast and then relaxed, went through our stockings, and watched Christmas movies. Santa gave us a lot of chocolate haha! Then we opened gifts. I got a new wallet and a new purse. James got a web cam for his computer, clothes and a pocket knife. Santa also gave both of us the game of Scrabble. We love that game. It was nice to be there together. For dinner we just have snacky finger foods. We were still full from breakfast and chocolate haha! It was fun! Oh and we went to see the Christmas lights on Temple Square! 



Then for New Years, we were super relaxed! Haha! I'm not even going to lie, we went to sleep at like 10:00pm... I woke up at midnight and woke James up and wished him a Happy New Year and then we went back to sleep haha!

Since then, Ive started semester number two at BYU and I'm excited for it! I'm taking my religion class, Sociology 300 (LOVE this class!), Statistics, and Samoan :). I love all my classes!

Work is going great too! I love working at the MTC! Missionaries are the best!

I'm super devoted this new year. I have made some new years resolutions, so my hope to reach my goals! Well here they are:
  1. be healthier (like half the world is doing haha)
  2. expand my vocabulary
  3. do my scripture study everyday
  4. complain less!
Well there they are. And so far... SO GOOD! Not even joking! James and I have been getting up at 4:00am Monday through Friday to go to the gym and we plan out our meals and we're eating super healthy! We love it! But today is only day ten of our journey, but we're moving along :). And I haven't missed a day of my scripture study and I love that! It feels like my mission again! I have about an hour every morning to have a little personal study, it's the best! As far as expanding my vocab, I'm constantly writing down new words and looking in the dictionary haha! And I'm still working on the complaining thing. It will get better with time!

I'm really excited for 2016! I seriously feel like this is going to be a great year! The year of change. I like the sound of that :).

I hope everyone is doing great! Tell me your resolutions!
