Year 2012

Well it is another new year! Another year to start over and try to make this year better then ever! I like to try to write down a few new year resolutions every year and then it is always fun to go back and look them over at the end of the year and see how I did at them. I thought of a few for this coming year. I wont share all of them but I will a few. It is actually rather smart to share new years resolutions with others because they can keep you accountable and it forces you to do them. It is really easy to throw out or ignore an idea when no one knows about it. So here are a few of my ideas:

  1. I would like to visit a new country! I dont know where for sure or how or when but somehow that would be a good idea.
  2. I have a two year term on the youth committee and am starting my second year with that. I want to do my best at that and give it everything I have even though it isnt always what I feel like doing and isnt always the most fun job.
  3. I want to keep reading my Bible more and more and try to learn and get more out of it then I ever have before.
  4. Most of all I want to continue to become the person God wants me to be and listen to what His plans are for my year 2012! I want to follow Him and figure out what His resolutions for me are.
Well...new years always has a new years eve and that night doesnt usually consist of much sleep. Last night was no different...I got home from the party at 5 am so think it is time to go to bed and I should keep this blog shorter. I hope you all have a wonderfull 2012 and may it be better than your 2011! The aim every year is to have the best year yet!

Alright, so it is time to write another blog on one of my favorite people and since i am sitting in the airport and really have nothing better to do i decided now is the right time. the person i am going to write about this time has always been very dear to me but since i have been away from her for almost  6 weeks i feel a little bit more strongly right now. i miss her for a number of reasons. the person i am going to write about is my little sister Tory. Tory and I are three years apart. Growing up we didnt have as much of a close relationship. She had her little friends and I was just so much bigger and more mature than all of them. She was just that annoying little sister that followed me and my friends around but all that changed as we both matured and realized it was a lot more fun to be friends cause who doesnt want to live with one of their friends. We have had many good memories together. Some of these have happened in our own home, some in the suv on the way to f...

Thankful Musings!

  You know every year thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. I am not entirely sure why because for one it means winter is almost here which I don’t appreciate at all, two it is usually very cold and three it is very busy and there isn’t much time to relax. However the weekend of thanksgiving always end making me feel happy and thankful for the life that I have and the people that are in my life. A couple things have really stuck out to me this thanksgiving that I would love to share with you guys. One of the things that I have been really thankful for this year is a family that doesn’t depend on the success of their business and money for happiness. You see this fall we, as a family are only getting about 10 to 15 percent of our regular crop of apples. When you are used to getting 900 bins of apples from one section of your orchard and this year only getting 150 it could be rather depressing.   Out of our 800 acres there is next to nothing to pick thi...

The Big Round Ticking Clock

I have been thinking a lot this week about time and how we spend it. Its been a very busy week and it is a busy time of year so this will vary for me depending on the time of year. When I disected this past week this is what I came up with. Now my question I want to ponder tonight is just what I did with those 54.5 hours? Did I use them wisely? Now of course there are many things I didnt document here. Like showering and getting ready in the morning/evening etc. Like driving from place to place. Like devotion time. But all week I felt like I had no time. I was running here and there and not sure just how I was gonna get everything done. But now that I do this I feel like I may have had extra time if I would have just managed it a bit better. There are things that I have to do but its what I do with those extra hours that count. Those hours that arent filled with work and sleep and eating. Those hours that could be used to make the world a better place, to make me a better person, to...
