Ten in 2010

January 1st always seems like the perfect time to think about where I am in my life and where I'd like to be. I've been pondering the things I'd like to accomplish most this year and although my list is long, I believe my goals are attainable. Most of these things I'm already doing, to some extent, but I just need to do them better or more often.

2. Family - Spend more time with grandchildren - Stay better in touch with extended family
3. Home - Organize basement/food storage - Paint and carpet guest room
4. Service - Be a better example of service this year
5. Learning - Take photography class - Learn to snowshoe
6. Physical - Daily exercise program - Train for marathon this year - Drink more water - Get more sleep (at least 7 hrs per night) - Eat healthier

Applesauce at the Cannery

Today Kurt and I went to the Sacramento Cannery to can applesauce. It was a lot of fun. We canned 48 cans of applesauce for ourselves and helped can extra for the Bishop's storehouse.

This is what we saw when we drove into the parking lot. Bins and bins of apples!

Lots of applesauce to put on our shelves. Can't wait to taste it!

The Last Load

After about 10 trips with our cars and truck, we delivered the last load of Tyler's worldly goods to his new home in Roseville tonight at 10 pm. We are so excited for him and can't wait to see how everything looks in his house. We're sure going to miss having him here, but know how excited he is to be a homeowner.
