Out and In!!

Looking back on 2009--
Emily still in the Philippines and doing well,
Brigham left for Ribieroa Preto, Brazil August 4,
Gea left for Cuenca, Ecuador November 12,
Leona NaThel Carlson made her appearance May 5,Gea graduated from South Fremont High School and Seminary
Shawn left to work in Washington July 6 and spent 6 months supervisor a power line contract for Zundel Tree Service.
A very successful garden and yard and animals with the help of my wonderful kids here at home
Joseph moved to Oklahoma for a few weeks to work when Brigham came home after working there for 3 months.
Gea had a successful summer in Alaska at SilverKing working her "you know what" off but preparing her for the Orphanage work in Ecuador.
A fun Roundy family reunion sponsored by the Andersons in Junction, Utah
Jasmine had a great experience doing Rodeo Queen, and Rachel and Jasmine had a great volleyball season.
Juan was a key football player on the JV squad and Marc did cross country, and was active on the student council.
A great holiday season--Krista, Sam and boys here, Earl, Sarah and children here, Joseph, and Spencer here.
We got to talk to our missionaries in diverse parts of the world. Yes 2009 was good...
That was just a few of the highlights. It was a good year.

Now we look forward to 2010!! Can you believe that? I remember waiting for the entry of the turn of the Century--2000.

I, like many others, love new beginnings and New Years is the biggest of those... My goals remain the same...to constantly try to improve in all areas. But my biggest resolution is to please God. By doing that maybe I will please those in my life

The most important people in my life surround me. I have always wanted a mother's ring but imagine one with 11 stones. I found one. It is bigger than what I normally wear, but I do like it. It reminds me of my most priceless gems.
