A New School Year


Well, school has started, but not only for the kids...I started this week as well. I get to keep a journal for my Family 160 class and I figure this is as good a spot as any...

So, here is my first official journal entry - for class...but also just for my own self (I must admit, I'm pretty excited to use this blog, because as you can see, I made it about a year ago and have written in it all of 2 times. Making myself have to write things down will be good for me...then I won't have to remember how to add a new entry every time I log onto this thing!).

As far as questions for class go, I don't really have any yet. I actually don't even really know what this class is about. Family, obviously, but it's like, researching the family. Having a family, I kind of thought I knew all about what a family is (or at least how mine works), but, I guess there's much to learn. I'm so glad I was able to add this class (thanks for making it bigger!)

My main goal for my family at this point is kind of for me. I want to make prayer, scripture study and family night a regular occurrence for us, which, as of this moment, it is not. Being the mom...I suppose it is my duty to make the time for this stuff...If only we had 40 hour days, instead of 24 hour days! Anyway, these goals are just things I need to put at the beginning of my day, instead of trying to jam it in to the end, and missing out...I'll let you know my progress this next week. I WILL START TODAY (it is Monday!) Let it begin!

My Sister-in-law gave me a cute idea for reading the scriptures. She told me to get a Book of Mormon for each person, so they can all "read along" (makes it more interesting/fun). Then, when we finish reading the entire Book of Mormon, we can write on the inside cover the date we completed it. I thought it was a cute idea. There were a couple other things she said...I will have to email her again...ahhh, my memory...I must take after my mother!

Excited for this class...excited to get cracking on the things I need/should/must/have to be doing! This will be all for now.
