New Years Resolution

What's are my New Years Resolutions?

Make more videos of Calvin

I absolutely LOVE taking photos of Calvin. Jake bought me my Canon Camera as my "baby present." I've always wanted a nice camera. And Jake completely surprised me. Luckily at the time, Jake worked at Best Buy where he got a pretty good discount on the camera. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have been able to buy it before Calvin was born. Now that I'm getting comfortable with adjusting the settings for photos, I want to get more comfortable with using the camera for videos.

Photos are always valuable to me because they capture moments in time that will help me remember the moment. I'm realizing the older I get, the more hazy my memories are becoming. Videos, on the other hand, are extremely valuable to me because I feel like I am taken back and immersed into to the the very moment.

My goal: is to make at least one video per month. That way, by the end of the year, I'll have at least 12 videos of Calvin during his toddler years.

Make time to re-read the Book of Mormon
I love studying and learning. I think that's what I miss most about school. Constantly learning. For so many years I spent TONS of time devoting myself to secular knowledge. This year, I want to read the Book of Mormon as if it was one of my text books in college: carefully and meaningfully. I want to understand each verse. If I don't understand something...look it up!

Instead of reading before I fall asleep, I'm going to read in the morning to help jump-start my day. Since I'm home a lot, I need that extra push to get me going.

My goal: is to study the Book of Mormon each morning for at least 30 minutes.
