Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree....

Merry Christmas Everyone :)
Christmas this year was a little less crazy than last year. We were missing three families totaling 14 people. It was still a fun filled Christmas which I enjoyed. Santa brought me a new DVD up-converter for my bedroom and lots of socks and gloves and toilet paper. He must have known I was running low :) ha ha. We watched lots of movies and ate a whole 9 pound ham, thanks to my the CEO, and played games which I won 2/3 not too bad!!! I got to talk to my little brother that is serving in Mexico City on his mission. It was fun chatting it up and hearing what he did on Christmas as a missionary. It felt just like old times when I would call and talk to him!!! He is doing great :)
Here are a few pictures of the day...

7 THINGS

7 Things I can Do Well
1- I am a pro bargain shopper.
2- While shopping I usually don't have to try anything on. I can tell if it will fit me by looking at it.
3- Talking for hours on the phone to my sisters.
4- Causing boy drama in my life :)
5- Cleaning my desk at work by the end of the day.
6- Pay all my bills on time.

7 Things I Can't Do
1- Keeping my bedroom clean. I try to clean it and the next day it is a mess again.
2- Remembering everything that needs to get done. I remember stuff for work during the day so I will email myself so I remember when I get to work.
3- Keeping a budget. I love to shop but I pay for everything on time.

New Calling

So I got a new calling in my ward last Sunday!!! I am a Relief Society Teacher once again. Apparently I need to start learning something again because I had a little 6 month break from teaching and here I am again about to teach the girls in my ward. Also I think they are trying to get me to my ward on time. I have Relief Society first at 9:00am so it makes it a little hard to get out of bed on Sunday mornings...ha ha but I now have to be good and make it to church on time!!! It is good for me. I am excited for my calling because I really like teaching but it will be a change because I really don't know too many girls in my ward. I guess it is better late than never to start getting to know more people in my ward!! Wish me luck... :)
