I love what you want to do! I wish I lived near you and I'd join you in some of the easier goals. (I'd cheer you on in the harder ones.)

The church has a new program, Pathways, where you can get your degree on-line through BYU-Idaho. It's only offered in limited places right now like Auburn, Tacoma, Spokane. You have to be between 18 and 30 for now, but it's a much cheaper way to get a college degree. Keep your eyes out. I think the plan is to extend it to other areas and open it up to older students as well.

Mandy, you are so super sweet :) You have to come to my baby shower, okay? I don't know when that will be, but you'll have to be there! Anyway, I loved your list. After reading it, it made me want to add more things to mine. I hope you have a little girl next. If Brady and Connor are so cute, I can only imagine how darling a little girl would be! Oh, and I just scrolled dawn and saw the pictures you took with Connor the other day...so precious! You look great :)
