For me life seems to be full of me trying to start good habits and then breaking them....like waking up before Ammon to have personal scripture study, and have a shower. I always break them. I'm very grateful for every Sunday, every temple visit, every General Conference to keep me on track and keep trying. I have rededicated myself to being a diligent follower of Christ, every day. Having a quiet time in the morning to study the scriptures and talk with my Heavenly Father makes all the difference in my day. This time I intend to commit myself to doing these things and stick with it, and this time will be different because I know I can't do it along. I've tried over and over by myself and failed. I need the strength and the companionship of the Spirit if I am to succeed. I believe I can do all these things to bless me with the constant companionship of the Holy Spirit as I have been promised as I keep my covenants with the Lord.
Not-surprisingly, blogging tends to follow the same pattern. If I let myself go too long without writing something down, it will be a while before I do it again. Granted, this break in blogging came because of new carpet, painting, and a disneyland vacation. Good excuses right? I'm good at finding excuses....
Anyway, just a quick post to let you all know I'm still alive and that I have a lot to catch up on.
P.S. The ultrasound is next Tuesday! I can't believe I'm almost 5 mos! I'm starting to show now....so that's always fun. Anyway, I'll post more later and with pictures of Disneyland, woohoo!

You're so great Kathie. I wish you well, and look forward to hearing more from your blog!
Wow, ultrasound already? I'm excited to find out what you're having!
Good luck with the goals. I do the same thing. Listen to conference, make some goals, do them for a while, break them. Sigh.
Kathie, I can't wait to see you're cute belly! Plus I'm super excited about your ultrasound :0!!!
The thing I have noticed about breaking habits is that each time I get a little further or I do a little better than I did the last time, or I learn something new that I never had supposed. I think that's how life is supposed to be. We fall. That's how this whole earthly business got started, after all. We chip away a piece here and there at the statue that will one day be a masterpiece.
From where I'm standing, your statue is coming along beautifully. Just keep chipping.
Love you.
