Resolutions are meant to be broken

If procrastination was an Olympic sport, I’d be winning golds since 2001 (when I started high school and realized laziness didn’t always mean bad grades, and therefore succumbed to my genetic pre-disposition to start something I might never finish). You might be hard-pressed to find someone lazier, or more easily distracted, than me. All this self-deprecation is to say, it’s been a while since my last post.

Life update: Christmas and New Years flew by, spending half the holiday in Colorado and the other half in California. I am increasingly reminded of the blessing of my family, despite our dysfunction. I stayed at Kassen’s apartment in Cali, watching corny movies that only your sister won’t judge you for enjoying – what would I do without my lil’ sis? We had a late Christmas with Erin and her family (I included a pic of my nephew and niece because they are too cute not to show off :)). I love giving gifts and playing with them afterward. Bonus of being an aunt – you just get to do the fun stuff.

Work update: On the trip to California I had the opportunity to tag along with my parents, meeting with a few missionaries and some people who are considering OC. I enjoyed talking to each person about their journey and their perspective of OC. As someone literally born into the mission, it was good to hear why people join OC and what we have to offer. Now that I am back in Colorado I have more work to do than time to do it. It’s an exciting time for the communications department. We launched our new website, http://www.onechallenge.org/, at the end of December and now we have the constant task of updating it and making it relevant. I love it, but there’s a lot to get done.

There are a few possibilities of exciting developments that might be coming up in my life. Most things are in the dream stage right now but I will keep you posted as things develop and become more concrete.

Happy New Year! Love and blessing in 2013.
