- pray every night with kenny (we were mostly doing this anyways, and we've already missed two nights this year so I think this resolution no longer counts)
- read scriptures every night with kenny (same as above)
- go to the temple once a month (I've been endowed since august and have only gone to one session since then)
- get out my wedding thank yous by the end of the month (yeah, yeah I know, I'm a horrible person. But I'm working on them now- got 30 done int he last few days, only 50 or so more to go)
- get more pics up on the web- either update my website, or use flickr or photobucket or something (maybe googlepics?).
- visit teach every month (I've been in the ward 5 months and just now got my assignment)
- fulfill my sunday calling (handing out RS fliers- requires showing up to Relief Society)

New Years Resolutions
I used to be real big on new years resolutions, but not as much this year. Here's a list I'll make up as I go:

ok, here's some free advice from a guy that's been married 7+ years...the only way to get EVERYTHING done it takes to be successfully married is to cut back on video games. --insert hushed sound rolling across the crowd--. I know. I know. Hard to believe, but I used to play lots of games too while in college and found myself wishing I had "time" to do more valuable things, so I eventually put away my games and found I had time for all sorts of great things (homework, family history, temple, correspondence with family,etc). Anyways, just some advice, take it for what it's worth.
Good advice for sure, but can't you just do both?
I say: Work hard when it is time to work, then play hard when it is time to play. The most important thing is that your priorities are in the right place.
If you feel you need to go to the temple more, then I'm sure that that would always take priority over gaming. There is time for both in their own right. Even missionaries have p-day.
Getting EVERYTHING done should include taking time to relax and do things you enjoy doing with your husband. Just because gaming isn't a part of Kevin and Candace's fun time doesn't mean that it isn't a valid use of spare time for other couples.
I have loads of respect for how Kevin lives his life and how happy his family is- but that dynamic works for him. We all have to find what works for us.
So I say no more poo-pooing of video games or other types of recreation; instead, I would like to congratulate you for recognizing a shift in your current needs and setting a goals to reprioritize your schedule.
ok, ok, I concede. Lori is indeed right on this one. Balance is what it is all about. You find the balance that works for you and you're doing better than most!
