This year instead of sending out our letter I'm hoping our family web-site will suffice. Here's hoping you all have a great Christmas and a great 2008! Love you all!

6 Habits

Okay, Lora, I think I've been putting this off long enough. Lora tagged me to explain 6 of my habits . . . and since I think this is a hard one I've been putting it off. Here goes . . . .

1. Getting up for seminary in the morning . . . . 5:30 a.m. to get Chancy there by 6:00.

2. Every Monday I do the deep cleaning of my house . . . it is Monday right now, and so I'm taking a break from that habit at present.

3. I usually exercise 5 days a week . . . . 3 days of aerobic and 2 days of weight training.

4. Every Sunday Halley and I talk on the phone. This is a highlight of my week though it may be a lowlight of her week since I've been doing a lot of whining lately. I'll try to change that Halley!!

5. I usually go to bed with a good book (and a good man!!) and fill every crack of my day with books.

6. Okay, this one is a habit want-to-be . . . . . During general conference, one of the speakers talked about looking for the "hand of the Lord" in your daily life. This is something I need to do and want to add it to my 6 habits in life.

I think I'm supposed to tag someone else . . . .but everyone who I know that blogs has already been tagged so there you go!

The town we live in, Waldorf, MD has a sister city in Walldorf, Germany. Every other year they (Walldorf, Germany) send German students here to see our way of life and promote goodwill between the two cities. Chancy is taking German in high school. His high school is the only school in our county that offers German as a language and so naturally the German students got to stay with the high school students studying German. Lisa stayed with us for a week. We wish it could have been longer because we were just getting used to each other and getting comfortable and then she had to leave. I learned that we eat much more here in America than they do in Germany, stores are bigger here, food sweeter and it is much warmer here than in Germany. Teenagers seem to be much the same, she enjoyed video games and playing other games but I think missed having pets, because we have none. It was a good experience.
