As I was trying to think of six things I would like to accomplish, I thought of a conversation I had a few years ago with my mission president. He said John Stockton was once asked, after having a record breaking year in assists, etc., what he was going to work on the next year coming. He replied, " I am going to work on perfecting my left hand bouce pass..." I've thought about this often and tried to apply it to my life. Often the little thinks we accomplish will affect our whole "game", so to speak. Anyway, here are a few things I would like to work on perfecting for myself.
6) I would love to be able to sing the alto line to all the hymns in the hymnbook. I do not have a very wide range, so I think I would be a better alto then soprano. And it is so very cool to hear the low notes in harmony with the high ones. I've already started and hope to know them all one day. I'd also love to be able to accompany people without having to picka part the music first. I feel bad I gave my Mom so much grief and if I would've practiced more, I would be a whole lot better now!
5) I would love to be more domestic; I do love to cook, clean, etc.; but I'd like to take some sewing classes, learn to can, plant a garden, and just do other fun things like that.
4) This probably sounds wierd, but I want to become more of the strong independent type. I just want my kids to think of me as someone that could handle the hard things in life; like if we ever had to cross the plains, or if Bo needs me to kill a snake for her(which i've already had to do-yikes!), they would have confidence in me to be able to do it. Does that make sense?
3)I really want to go to Disney World someday. It seems like such a happy, fun place. I remember when Derek and Kristi took their lil' family, we watched their home videos when they got back and I was singing the disney parade "family" song for weeks!
2)I want to go to Houston! I have not seen my Mom's family since I was in grade 7. I think it would be fun to plan a trip with all of us girls in 5 or so years. Wouldn't that be hilarious?!
1) I don't know if this is my number one thing, but I'd really like to finish a degree. Joel works for the University, so I can go for very cheap. Maybe next semester I will try to take a few night classes, but we'll have to see.
So that is it for now!
