Sarah's Blog

Happy New Year! I haven't updated my blog in a while. Things have been quite crazy around here the last few weeks with putting the house on the market again, and finding out that our renters are getting transferred, so we also are putting that house on the market as well.

We are trying to get out and ski, but since everyone is dragging their feet, we have to tell ourselves that we are taking a ski vacation! in our own backyard. Jacob and Isabel are doing well with skiing, which is so fun to be able to all go as a family.

We are trying to stay focused on school, but with the various life changes that may be happening soon, it has been hard. Today I painted the whole downstairs of our house and tried to trim stuff from each room to make the house show a little better... so people walk into our house and say, "ahhh, look how big this house is... I have to buy it!"

I got a crazy idea this evening to upload some pictures to flickr, and found I already had an account... since 2007! So, you can check some of the pictures out HERE.

Each day this week we looked forward to watching another segment of the HBO miniseries "John Adams". We loved it and it has inspired Bill and me to learn more about great leaders.

I started running on the treadmill this week and am going to try to read more this year. My first book is Your God is Too Safe, which is excellent so far and getting me focused again.

I also started selling books again, and l was surprised to see how quickly some of the items were going. It is very exciting to be selling things that we don't need. I have had a long list of things to put online to sell for quite a few months, but have been dragging my feet. On craigslist, we sold 1 motorcycle, 1 4-wheeler, and 1 MacBook... not bad. Only a few big items to go, and I'll have a ton of space in my garage!

That's it for my random update. I am excited about 2010 and what exciting adventures it brings with my family.
