Yesterday at church the Young Women's leaders asked Dana, Courtney, Lindsay and I speak to the girls. We spoke about life goals and how we have used goal setting, and the skills we learned while in Young Women to succeed in life. Each of these girls are amazing!

Trust the Lord. Remember to always put him first. If we include him and walk in righteousness he will provide for us. It will be hard and we might not always want to do it, but it will work out. We need not fear.

Decide what you want to study – and be the best at it. If you're going to do something do it right. Get involved. Set aside time to work on your goals each week and do not let anything get in the way.
I'm grateful we were able to speak to the young women. It made me think about what I want/need to do with my life. I have to set goals in order to succeed. I have done that my whole life and it has served me well. So thinking about all of these things, letting them marinate I need to make goals. So here is what I'm thinking:
Read the Book of Mormon at least once every year
Go to the Temple once a month
Join PRSA - the adult version of PRSSA
Exercise twice a week
Go to Australia before 2015
Do my visiting teaching every month
Have a job before March 1, 2009
Clean out my room!!!! . . . and keep it that way
Go on more dates
Go out with the sister missionaries
Go on a great american road trip with my besties
Go to all 50 states before 2020
Get a passport before the end of 2010
Read the bible cover to cover before 2015
Own a black range rover <--- I'll know I've made it if I can do this!

So... when are we going on this roadtrip? Let's plan this out!
i concur.
well if you yahoo's would graduate! but legit i am tentatively thinking we should do it during the 7 week break so Mike can come. This also allows us enough time to set aside money for gas, food and random adventures. So start saving! This is not a drill! I can also contribute two night in a hotel while we travel...i'll save my present for the trip... also this is a long comment but... i have a cousin that owns a house in Florida, we can use it if we pay the cleaning fee at the end of the week... only $100 so i'm thinking i fly out to CA and we start there because you are all there, after some time we make it to Florida and then on your way back to CA you drop me in Indiana? thoughts?
I am down... sounds like an amazing adventure to me!
