New Year Dawns

As the year closes out, I am reflecting on the things that happened in this year. I lost my job at Convergys, Chris returned to work with Godfathers, we got a van, I went to jail, I got back to a career that I love but can't any more due to carpal tunnel. I had my church membership restored. I wrote a letter to the 1st Presidency to have my blessings restored. I saw a couple(My Home Teacher) and his family be sealed in the temple. A missionary returned, another went out. The Prophet dies, an apostle passes too. Big deal with the financial companies, a recession, loss of jobs, laws being changed and challenged. Signs of the times.
I wonder what the next year will hold for 2009. But one thing is for sure, in fact several things will be for sure. My blessings will be restored, I will be able to take Chris and Ben to the temple to be sealed too. I will be able to GO to the temple and DO those things I have been missing for so many years. I will be able to serve fully in the church once again and develop more of my testimony. My wife's and I goal for 09 is to visit and go to every temple in Utah. That includes the new ones being built in Draper and Oquirrh Mountain. I am hoping to be able to go down and go through for the open house, then once all the blessings are restored and we are endowed, we can go through for sessions. So that's going to be neat. Also as said in previous blog, I plan to go back to school. So we are going to see what 09 will bring us. More happiness, more love, more being who we'd like to be. And we hope to move to Ogden and be closer to Weber State, so I can be closer to the campus and do what I need to there. I'll just find a job on campus or around there. I know Chris will be staying with Godfathers, so at least we'll be OK there. so we shall see.
