The perfect gift for Susan....

Well, I just put Emma down for a nap; I always love nap time. I've been often using Emma's nap times to take a nap myself lately. I get so tired after lunch; I'm like a little kid. But, even if I don't nap, I like to use Emma's sleeping times to do things for myself, such as watch a movie, or read a book, or play on the internet - emailing or blogging or playing games. In the evening, I tend to want to stay up too late because I'm enjoying the time to myself a little too much I guess. Well, such is the life a mommy. I sure do love it, but it makes me appreciate the times to myself and the time alone I can spend with my Ben just a little bit more.

Ben and I will be going to the temple tomorrow evening. Ben's mom will be graciously watching Emma for us while we spend some time at the Mesa temple. Ben and I have a new goal to attend the temple once a month, so I guess we're off to a good start at least. Goals can be hard to keep, but even a good attempt at change is a start in the right direction. Speaking of goals, I've set a few others myself, including writing in my journal again. I haven't written regularly in a very long time. My new plan to hopefully accomplish success is to even include printed out emails and blog posts, if I don't get around to writing my hand. I figure that emails I write to my mom and the things I post on my blog are all good journaling methods, so now I just plan to compile my thoughts in a little more organized manner. It should make for an interesting collage of reading material.

On a random note, last night Ben and I watched a part of a long video where they introduce the new iPhone. It's soooo awesome! I think a new 500 dollar phone would be a very reasonable gift for Ben to get me for Valentine's Day. What do you think?
