Here I go... for reals this time!

Ok,so now I'm really serious.. You can see just how serious, because I've really just typed up all of my goals. Next thing to do is find out what the dead line is.
And then after that... work on these goals! I already have... by telling my family that I love them, and hugging them. I really am very blessed, and need to act well my part, and show my Heavenly Father that I am truly thankful for my blessings, and to be the best person that I can be. Here I really go! Wish me luck! ('cuz I'm going to need it!)

101 Goals in 1001 Days, on my way.

Ok... So this is one of my other reasons for wanting to blog. I saw on a post of another blogger, austaliandaisy.blogspot.com, how she is going to accomplish 101 goals in 1001 days, and then blog about them. And it hit me...I need to do this! I need this so bad, it's not even funny, well I guess it is a little funny, thinking the only way I will work hard to accomplish my goals, is to put them out in cyber world, for everyone to see, or actually no one, since I'm not really sharing this blog with anyone, but ya know. Anyways, I am working on my list of goals, and goal #1 was to start a blog. Woowoo!! Look at me go!!! Hehehe. Goal #2 Finish my list of goals, find out what my 1001th (?) day is and post them on this little blog. So, maybe tomorrow? We will see...

How am I ever going to make it to heaven?

Man, that is the question I ask myself every day!! So, how does starting a blog help me reach my goal of exaltation? Well, let me tell you... I'm pretty sure one of the apostles told us to start a blog, or I guess if you were doing it, to let people know that you were a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. So on my quest of making it to heaven, I'm going to start this blog, and try to be the person I was meant to be. That probably doesn't make much sense and my dear sweet husband would probably make fun of me, but who cares.
I want to blog. So I'm going to. So there. I guess that's not very heavenly, is it? I guess that's why I'm trying.
