i'll do my best!
so here we are, another year ahead of us, 2013 is done and dusted and i am doing my usual thing of sitting here and wondering where on earth the time went. it's absolutely crazy, i mean i honestly swear that it was only my birthday and christmas and all that, last week and here it is, all over again for another year.
i constantly hear (as i am sure you all do too) what are your new years resolutions? what are you going to do this year? what do you want to change? honestly? i want to change me. i want to love more, i want to do more, i want to know that i can be more. and i will. but the biggest thing? i want to speak more valiantly and more courageously of the gospel. it's easy to be shy and not to say too much when people ask you questions, but this year, i am going to speak up, speak loudly and make sure that people know who i am and what i stand for.
the other thing? i am going to do this! for my child(ren). seeing as another will be joining us in about 6 weeks i think it's a great idea. i did a quick calculations and by the end of their 18th year, each child (maddie slightly less obviously if i am only beginning now) will have $24804. that's nothing to be scoffed at! and it will certainly come in handy for missions, schooling etc. or whatever important things pop up in life (weddings...? heaven forbid maddie gets married at 18 - i think doug will have a heart attack!!) but i was so impressed by it and decided on the spot that it was well worth the effort. so off we go! kendall kids will have a savings account - and a good one at that! :)
what are you doing for 2014? i must confess that my biggest resolution is to actually write 2014 on things and not 2013 - i usually find myself writing that until about april - so we'll see how we go! :)
happy new year peeps! i hope it's a good one for you! x
